Roccat Kave Headset

The Roccat Kave is an interesting headset and it doesn’t quite follow convention. It is primarily a lot larger than others currently on the market. There is however a good reason for this which we will touch on further through the review.

This is one of these devices that looks really good on paper but it is rare that the device can achieve this. For instance this device boasts full 5.1 surround sound which of course even includes a central speaker which sounds rather weird for something that surrounds the side of your ears as the central speaker would normally be directly in front of you on top of the television or similar.

Roccat are an up and coming company that have recently been producing various products including mice and headsets.
