Reviews of ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital

Evaluation 5
Advantages: High-quality sound, materials, sits comfortably
Disadvantages: USB (see comment)
Comment: Took to replace the first version of the ROCCAT Kave 5.1. This model is noticeably lighter, plus they replaced the uncomfortable leather “squares” with a solid soft cushion - now it doesn’t put pressure on the head. The sound is amazing, clear, everything is just awesome - 10/10. The subwoofer at the maximum vibrates noticeably :) From the site, you can and should download the software for more fine tuning of both the ears and the microphone.
Now about the shortcomings: This "cave" is connected via USB. Stuck in 3.0. After everything was installed and configured, I decided to evaluate the sound. As soon as the player began to play the track, the mouse hung dead. After long dances with tambourines, it turned out that for any combination, the headphones conflict with the gaming mouse. It was possible to solve only by the complete demolition of the drivers and the separation of devices - I left my ears in 3.0, the mouse had to be in 2.0. Initially it was the opposite, but in 2.0 the ears lacked power, the device was often lost (turned on and off).
Despite this, the thing is satisfied, I do not regret the purchase. Money (12k) is definitely worth it! Recommend.

Advantages: Excellent sound, excellent bass, not dirty sound, not deaf, in addition the control panel and in it the sound card, comfortable (does not press on the ear), 5.1
Disadvantages: Didn't notice
Comment: Roccat Kave 5.1 XTD is the best investment of attendants.
The sound is just a bomb. Quality, not dirty, not deaf, as it should be all)
And the bass is just tin. I have not heard this yet. The blasts at 10/10. Yeshe and software is good and zvukovuha goes. 5.1 is also felt. the stereo sounds boring after them.
It is better to buy a rokkat than to buy some ears for 5-8k plus fobas for 8k. The best ears for 5.1 games for your money

Advantages: Cool sound, comfortable to the point of madness, very high quality made
Comment: I bought them about a week ago. I never had a sound card of 5.1 or 7.1, and then the card in addition. After the tests in the games I realized that they are good, but not as much as they are praised. Although I do not know, maybe I was expecting something of space. In principle, the sound is excellent and the headphones are very well made. I am satisfied with the purchase and have no regrets.

Advantages: - comfort
- microphone
- sound
- quality of materials
- wire (3.6 meters, quite thick, inspiring confidence)
- complete sound card, with the ability to connect a separate speaker system
- the ability to use as a Bluetooth headset
- convenient software with a large number of settings
- real 5.1 sound (and, as a result, excellent positioning)
Disadvantages: - remote control (and in general it is not impressive)
- not too powerful bass
Comment: The headset is the smartest, if you immediately take into account that it is just a game. This does not mean that it is impossible to listen to music on it, but it’s musical “ears” that play for this money better.
Choose between these, SteelSeries Siberia Elite and Razer Tiamat 7.1. (generally considered the same: Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega, Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930, Sennheiser G4ME ZERO / ONE)
He stopped on Roccat, for the real 5.1, gorgeous microphone, complete sound card. And not one of the opponents can boast all this at the same time.
In addition to everything else, Roccat is incredibly comfortable, does not press anything anywhere, does not press anything. Ambyushurs do not touch the ears at all and at the expense of their cunning design perfectly isolate you from the environment. In general, comfort is guaranteed for long and long hours of use. Even though the whole structure is rather weighty. Everything is made mostly of soft-touch plastic, so the “ears” are very pleasant to the touch.
The function of connecting a smartphone via Bluetooth is the most ingenious thing. I think no need to explain why.
And now about the unpleasant, namely about the remote. Materials are the exact opposite of the headphones themselves (glossy plastic), plus an extremely inconspicuous shape, low weight and a dangling volume control. In turn, the competitors here shine (the Tiamat has the smartest console, and the Siberia switches directly on the headset). In general, one sadness, fortunately touch it almost does not have to.
Bass, here the ears are again not ahead of the rest, but it's not so bad. The sound is clean and perfectly laid out, while the bass itself is perfectly readable. Still, low frequencies are not as good as Siberia.
In general, these "ears" are definitely worth their immodest (for a gaming headset) money.
