True 5.1 surround sound, External USB powered amplifier, Good directional positioning in games compared to price, Good quality microphone, Very good build quality, Microphone mute LED, Light weight
Music and movie playback sound quality, Coherency issues, Noisy amplifier section, Slightly annoying headband
The ROCCAT Kave headset design is good up to a point. The noisy amplifier, general sound quality and the headband construction is a major let down. The mechanical design is ROCCAT at its best, it is durable, light weight and easily adjustable, however,...

Recessed speakers allow for strong acoustic presence, sounds are clear and sharp while speakers do not press against ears, making the headset comfortable to wear over long periods, Attached mixer allows for customization without having to back into any me
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

The Roccat Kave will officially be available across North America this week. NCIX-US is already selling it for $129 USD, and possibly cheaper with a promotional code. This headset is definitely one of my faves for concept alone, despite its fidelity li...

Detachable mic w/ mute LED, Flexible yet sturdy mic, Sturdy and durable designed for long term use, 5.1 real surround w/ precise directionality, Extremely comfortable noise canceling ear cups, Tip'N'Control desktop remote w/ level slides and game/movie mo
Desktop remote controls the system volume and mute and not just the headset's, Headband slanted slightly to far forward
As we look back over this gaming headset, there are a lot of talking points that we can take away from it. Audio quality, as you would expect, is extremely good with the only downside in my opinion that it lacked a little in stock bass however that was re...

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
The Kave passes muster as the first 5.1 headphones we've seen that actually produce decent positional audio. While a set of speakers will always do better in this regard, and the soundstage is rather claustrophobic, the Kave doesn't do too badly at all...
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...
Some user prefer a changeable headset cable to something else, ROCCAT does not allow user to change the cable and causes in future if the cable got any problem the user cannot change unless go for warranty. The driver on the headset deliver a very comfort...
