Not
Headset does not have a true subwoofer on board
So listening to stereo audio will output weak levels of bass
Microphone LED lights up only when muted – While this prevents a light from being a distraction
It always confused me every time I used the hea
Music and movie playback sound quality
Coherency issues
Noisy amplifier section
Slightly annoying headband
A little pricey
Rather heavy
The headband causes comfort issues after extended use
5.1 sound that actually works. Independent centre, surround and front speaker volume sliders. Quite comfortable
Restrictive sound stage, everything feels far closer than it should. Mid-tones sound muffled in stereo mode. Sub slider appears to do nothing. Unwieldy for travel

Overall the ROCCAT Kave is a good gaming headset, providing a few unique features that make it stand out from the competition. But this doesn't mean that the Kave is much more expensive than other headsets; in fact it is priced almost identically to t...
All in all, the Kave is a fantastic headset. Its got a few flaws here and there, but for Roccats first foray into the headset market, theyve done just what they did with their other product lines; put the fear into the big boys. Not only does this ...
Great Design, Surround sound that actually works, Everything that a gamer might want, Great control pad
Sub-par for music, Bass lacks precision, Build quality
Surround sound from headphones is something that we've never been a fan off really. Most of the sets we tested in this category were so bad that we completely lost faith in the idea. No gimmicky surround sound system even came close to the true quality of...
