Overclock 3d find Roccat Kave “flawless”
Bryan Waters at www.overclock3d.net awards the Roccat Kave their Best in Class award !
Build quality is nothing short of spectacular. The Roccat Kave is finished in a lovely soft tactile matte black. The headband is made of very thick solid metal and gives a satisfyingly smooth slide when adjusting the size, without ever moving unintentionally. Everything about them screams quality. It’s rare to find a collapsible headset that still feels utterly robust once “up”.
Comfort-wise they are phenomenal. The ear-pieces are very soft and despite the Kave being sturdy and having a certain reassuring heft to them, they aren’t heavy on the head and can be, and have been, worn for 16 hours straight without causing discomfort. They grip the head nicely so you haven’t got sound bleed and all in all are supremely comfortable for all but the most pencil-necked of individuals.
Finally the sound quality, away from the surround aspect, is unsurprisingly brilliant too. Volume is most certainly not an issue as they will go way louder than your humble reviewer finds remotely comfortable without once distorting. Yes here at OC3D we even go deaf so that you get the most honest reviews. Bass is tight and thumping without being muddy or blurred. Mids, and vocals especially, are crystal clear and even the highs are glassy without being harsh.

ROCCAT Kave Solid 5.1 Gaming Headset – PC Space (09/09), Slovakia
…thanks to special construction with a three soft and opened cushions, the weight of the headset is distributed very well, so it makes Kave a very comfortable even for hours. Headset is foldable, so you can take easily take it at the lanparty. Ergonomics, design and construction is very well balanced. Because of the analogue connection, the sound quality and spatial perception depends on the quality of a soundcard itself. With Kave we have used high-end X-Fi card, and got supreme performance. It has many details; detachable microphone, great air venting and ergonomics, channel volume adjustments and design, all of them forming a superb product. It may be used without a PC, e.g. with a home cinema set-up, but you may have troubles with power supply and master volume adjustment. Kave is pure gaming headset for enthusiasts, however, for a very interesting price. For the great performance and built quality, Kave has received green editor´s award for the Top Product.
