The analog successor to the original Kave
Do you fancy yourself a fan of digital headsets over analog ones, or vice versa? Your answer will could determine how interested you might be in Roccat's Kave XTD 5.1 Analog headset due out in mid-April. It's the "highly anticipated analog successor" to the original Kave, and in addition to making advances in sound quality and clarity, Roccat says the XTD 5.1 Analog is also 25 percent lighter.
The headset sports a pair of 40mm driver units and a 30mm vibration unit in each ear cup, dual-mode remote, and an LED light-tipped mouthpiece so that it's easier to tell if you're on a live mic or whether it's been muted.
According to Roccat, one thing that separates the Kave XTD 5.1 Analog from other analog gaming headsets is that it's the first to feature an interference isolator for zero noise. In other words, if you've worn headsets that picked up on electromagnetic interference, you won't have to worry about that with these
As for offering up surround sound, Roccat claims its three high-end driver units are aligned precisely at a 12-degree angle to match the natural form of your year. An inline remote allows you to adjust the volume of the center, front, rear, and subwoofer channels.
Does it live up to the hype? We won't know until we've had a chance to sample a set for ourselves. In the meantime, you can check out our review of the Kave XTD in a recent roundup as a point of reference.
