Sound Quality:
- Compared with excellent of headphones from Sennheiser or AKG, the sound is very unclean. At higher volumes, there is a slight distortion
- The headset is in neutral EQ setting to bass-heavy. A subsequent correction in the equalizer distort the sound even more.
- Compared to the Creative Rage Wireless Headset there is behind this. The Creative Headset also offers no neutral reproduction, however, delivers Ordinary Pop / Party sound.
Positives:
- Headset is lightweight and comfortable to wear
- Battery life is acceptable with ~ 8 hours
- The Virtual Surround works surprisingly well
- Range is ok with about 8 meters
Negatives:
- The left hinge on headband headset creaks and crunches when moving
- The microphone transmits in fixed 16,000 Khz - this makes it impossible ordinary voiceovers for videos to speak or work with software like Adobe Audition. The quality is also BELOW the codecs of modern TeamSpeak servers or Skype HD calls.
- No matter what USB port I use: I have sometimes more, sometimes less strong crackling and crackling in the sound - absolute no-go. Many people in forums bereichten of similar problems. Wlan none is in operation, the problem also exists on my laptop. The crackling is getting stronger the more the battery going dead.
Given the absurdly poor microphone quality and the permanent pops the headset goes back.
