5.1 sound that actually works. Independent centre
Surround and front speaker volume sliders. Quite comfortable
The editors didn't like
Restrictive sound stage
Everything feels far closer than it should. Mid-tones sound muffled in stereo mode. Sub slider appears to do nothing. Unwieldy for travel

The Kave passes muster as the first 5.1 headphones we've seen that actually produce decent positional audio. While a set of speakers will always do better in this regard, and the soundstage is rather claustrophobic, the Kave doesn't do too badly at all...
Recessed speakers allow for strong acoustic presence, sounds are clear and sharp while speakers do not press against ears, making the headset comfortable to wear over long periods, Attached mixer allows for customization without having to back into any me
Headset does not have a true subwoofer on board, so listening to stereo audio will output weak levels of bass, Microphone LED lights up only when muted – While this prevents a light from being a distraction, it always confused me every time I used the hea
Very comfortable to wear for long periods, Excellent noise isolation, LED on mic to indicate mute, Separate surround drivers in earcups, Great sound quality, Tangle Free Cable
A little pricey
The Roccat Kave XTD 5.1 Analog Gaming Headset performed quite well in pretty much every regard. As you can see from the ratings, the Kave 5.1 Analog was near the top of the charts in all but the comfort rating. That was actually pretty surprising to me...
Much of what we said about the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital holds true for the Analog. Indeed the changes are solely connectivity based.So the sound quality is good with an excellent surround effect thanks to the Kave being a genuine 5.1 headset rather than some...
the design is mainly black accented with TRON-style blue lighting. It has a decent weight and feels fairly comfortable when sitting on one's head for a long time. Setting the ROCCAT Kave up for use is very simply – one simply plugs the USB cable into an...
Personally, I believe ROCCAT really has a fantastic true 5.1 surround sound gaming headset with the Kave. It was a phenomenal piece of gaming gear (especially for first person shooters) and a very well rounded multimedia companion. That said, it's not wit...
Abstract: If our eyes are the windows to the soul, then what does that make our ears? Doorways to our internal sound stage, that's what. But listen up, it doesn't matter how gnarly the guitar riffs your favorite musician is playing or how intense the in-game eff...
Great audio quality for gaming and just about anything else, Solid construction and design, Desktop controls are quick and convenient, Removable mic and fold up design makes it a great option for LAN use
The headband causes comfort issues after extended use
Looking at the Roccat Kave as an overall package, it’s hard not to recommend it. It delivers great sound quality and performance. The construction of the headset is worth noting again. Even though it’s a bit on the heavy side, it has an amazingly solid...

All in all this is a great headphone to own if you are looking for a 5.1 audio for your desktop PC. You will not be disappointed if you do decide to buy it. This is considerably much cheaper than those out from the big names and still deliver similar soun...
