Now this is the tricky part of the review for me, as I have already tested the Kunai for PlayStation 3 and Vita, I would expect the Kunai Wii U edition to be much the same. Lets have a quick look at what I said about the PlayStation edition of this headset;
“Initial impressions were simply stunning with the Kunai, setup was quick and easy and as soon as the first sounds came through the 40mm drivers I knew I was in for a treat. The bass that this headset can produce is simply incredible. Its sound distortion free throughout the full volume range and even when things get a little crazy on battlefield 3 everything remained crystal clear. For a stereo headset you I got great sense of direction across all three games and it just proves that a headset doesn’t need to offer virtual surround to give a thrilling gaming experience.”
After more than a few games on the Wii U I see no reason why this still isn’t true, I just found that the general experience was less “intensive”, no fault of the headset, but the games I have available are more family orientated and less demanding on the headset than Battlefield 3 and Uncharted.
Audio playback is robust though and easily on par with what I saw on the PlayStation, microphone quality is great too and while chat didn’t sound as good as it does on the PlayStation I don’t think this had anything to do with the headset, more the way the console handles its communications. Testing the headset on the 3DS showed that the Kunai offers a much improved microphone for the handheld as well as great audio playback.
Setup was fairly simple but the issue with the Wii U is that not all games support audio in the same way, that is not an issue with the headset though, so I’ll keep this information for the Wii U hardware review.
