As then my simple 10 headset has blown, right speaker, I looked around for an inexpensive alternative. What I particularly noticed in this headset was the chic design, the detachable microphone and the audio control on the cable, but this more.
So from ordered, and it came two days after in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging. So far so good! At that time I had a simple business PC with a Radeon 5400HD and Pegatron IPMSB-GS motherboard, so I did not have high expectations in the whole. So inserted, started Garry's Mod and I was surprised. The headset has an excellent sound and 3D audio like it very much. I can understand everything well, both in video and in-game.
The microphone on the other hand was fine. There is not necessarily a 200-stand microphone, but when it comes to TeamSpeak, Skype or the like, it is sufficient. Only one should remember that you should position the microphone in no case directly in front of the face, then there is little noise. With the Mute function I also had no problems. Only if you want to talk to someone, and first one and a half hours it sits out to find out why not listen to a ....
Meanwhile, I have also been upgraded to a GTX650 and an ASUS board. However, look around, after further, the manufacturer of the headset interested. So it was that I bought the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D for 50. In conjunction with the headset: A dream! Crystal-clear sound, whether music or gaming. Thanks to the SBX soundcard (Soundblaster Extreme) settings I can actually locate enemies in video games! That would not have been possible for me without a map. Hence my recommendation to match the headset: The Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D with Win7, or the X-FI Titanium for devices up to WinXP.
On seminar trips with the class, I got bored again. And what do you do? Boredom Bridge! I could connect the headset to my stone old laptop (IBM ThinkPad T42) Connect, and yet had crystal clear sound! The headset was easy to get not small!
Now however, I come to a defect, which is not really debt manufacturer.
After a half years the headset was unfortunately broken. The right speaker has become quieter than the left, which simply annoys me only to death, therefore here was the end. The reason for this was that the headset is weeks like almost every night from the desk, on the basis of the acquisition of a new keyboard (Sharkoon Skiller Pro) was hardly space. Last night is then like the last time down the headset. However, I am now so convinced by the HS-800 that I'll be back to buy me the same.
Conclusion: The headset is comfortable to wear, has excellent sound quality and in conjunction with a sound card from Creative is very detailed and powerful. The microphone can be entertained for hours without even knowing whether that is across from the man, and it's pretty darn robust. For hours you can gamble with it, or you can remove the microphone and use it as a headset. On Seminar rides the headset has me to watch movies super hours preparing and I'm looking forward to be able to unpack it again, and hope that it does not fall off the table. Therefore, 5 stars!
