Roccat Kave XTD Stereo Headset

Today we are taking a look at a new headset from Roccat; we have their Xave XTDS Stereo in our hands that we are going to be testing out in various enviorments. This is a light weight headset with fairly sensitive headphones and a nice design… so lets...

Comfortable ; Light weight ; Price ; Remote

None this far

This is a really cool headset, and the sound is better than you can expect from a 50$ headset. The sound was clear and the tone of the bass is just perfect, not too much boom but still enough to be comfortable listening to both games and music.

Roccat Kave XTD Review

We have been long time fans of Roccat mice here at HardwareHeaven, with our experience peaking at the Kone XTD, a near flawless mouse. Great looks, exceptional performance/quality and feature packed software earned it a gold award. The likes of the...

Starting with the build quality of the Kone XTD we have a headset which very much impresses. If we were to be super picky having some metal extenders on the arms would maybe be nice but the plastic used here does feel durable. The soft touch coating...

Roccat Kave XTD Gaming headset

I'm going to review a headset from Roccat today. We recieved a sample of their Kave XTD headset. It has a cool remote that allows you to change modes and mute etc, my first impression is that it looks attractive and is quite comfortable. The question...

Comfortable ; Light weight ; Nice looking ; Bluetooth to smartphone ; Remote

Non removable cable ; Price (~160$) ; Lack of bass

I have to start out with saying that this is a nice headset with a steep pricetag. I believe 160$ is a bit to much for a headset even though it has a nice remote and cool features.

Roccat Kave XTD

A decent no-nonsense wired gaming headset

Chunky design is robust ; Very good comfort levels ; Good overall sound quality

Cable isn't modular ; Doesn't quite excel at any one thing

The Roccat Kave XTD is a decent gaming headset that delivers comfort and decent sound quality. However a non-modular cable and the lack of that one killer feature means it doesn't quite stand out from the crowd.

Roccat Kave XTD review

Keep this PC gaming headset tethered to your desktop

Quite light and comfy ; Has its own soundcard ; Plenty of features

USB interface only ; Not very portable ; Spotty app compatibility

The Roccat Kave XTD offers excellent performance, plenty of features and a comfy design, but isn't all that portable. These cans are for desktop PC gamers only. The Roccat Kave XTD presents quite a deal for PC gamers, saving them much-needed chassis...

Hollow Sound

i like the idea of 5.1 but being that its enclosed around your ears, it really doesnt work. Dont for fall the gimmicky surround sound head phones, youre better off getting a good pair of stereo head phones. If you want surround sound, use speakers

- comfort - mic is clear - its analog

sound is terrible, sounds like youre listening through a coffee can. I've noticed it from day one and should have returned them, but i thought to give them a chance. Well after about 2 months, sound didnt get much better. I'm shopping for a new set now.

Lasted about a week. Then just turned themselves off.

Looks kinda cool when no one's looking

Pretty sure that Cicadas last longer than these did.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Decent Headphones.

Overall, I'd say this is a decent budget minded set of headphones. For simple stereo sound, these work out fine. Besides the slight issue of the left speaker not sounding as loud. The ear cushions are comfortable enough to wear for extended periods.

Comfortable cushioning around the ears No software needed Build quality is decent Feel is sturdy

Sound is louder in the right earpiece than the left. Also, changing certain audio options (realtek) sometimes causes loud reverb through speakers when turning off the Mic mute. The Mic is also very quiet, even when turned up to the max with max mic...
