Headsets are a very popular and nearly essential extra to the gaming industry as well as a very useful accessory for communications. For this reason we see a lot of new headsets coming to the market by the big gaming brands such as SteelSeries, Roccat and a few others. There is also a huge variety in headsets ranging from small discrete headsets that just do the simple job of combining a pair of headphones with a microphone or some splash out a bit and give you the full 5.1 surround sound experience, or at least try to.
Roccat produce a variety of devices and are especially well known for their headset, the Roccat Kave. They do also produce a good 20 different products, encompassing keyboards, mouse pads, mice, headsets, accessories and even a notebook to boot. Their products can now be found in a long list of retailers in this country including high-street shops such as: PC World, WHSmith’s and Curry’s. This in itself does not constitute a successful brand but does show that they are becoming readily available and aren’t just limited to the internet.
Today, we are taking a look at the Roccat Kulo, a stereo headset which has been designed to be a snug fit during your gaming sessions while remaining ultra light and extremely comfortable. It incorporates a noise-filtering microphone as well as many other features.
