So it looks like its just marketing, because their description says:
- Pro-gaming mode: adds extra sound dynamics in higher frequencies for enhanced 
audio positioning.
- Exciter mode: get immersed in gameplay and embraced by powerful bass with a 
fuller soundfield.

But well, I can always do equalizer in PulseAudio and if it is actually just 
increased volume, then well, don't implement it for sure. That's a shame, I 
wonder why they added such a stupid feature.
