Introduction

Roccat recently sent us over the Kulo 2.0 headset. It did alright, but there were some issues. Already though, the peripheral maker has released a second edition, or an alternative version; this one coming with a virtual 7.1 surround sound card. It’s USB powered and has a reasonable price tag, but will it improve over its predecessor? Let’s see.

Specifications

Incredible Comfort

Supple on-ear padding combined with the padded headband offer maximum comfort even after hours of gaming. The Kulo delivers effective external noise cancellation, allowing you to focus fully on the game.

Premium Stereo Sound

High-quality 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets and Mylar® membranes are the last word in headset technology, delivering premium sound quality for gaming, music and voice chat with perfectly balanced bass and trebles. Connect the ROCCAT™ Kulo to the 7.1 USB sound card and the stereo audio will transform into fully-fledged virtual surround sound that will blow you away with its quality.

Anybody out there?

Mic muted and you didn’t even notice? With the ROCCAT™ Kulo that’s no longer a problem. With its Automatic Mic-Mute function, ROCCAT™ gives you a quick and easy way to mute the mic. Just fold the microphone arm up and the microphone is muted – it doesn’t get any easier than that.

Lightweight, Flexible, Robust

The ROCCAT™ Kulo is ultra lightweight, weighing in at just 178g. It’s also flexible and extremely robust thanks to its metal-reinforced headband, which offers eight levels of height adjustment for the perfect fit. What’s more, the microphone is flexible for exact positioning. You can even control the volume level using the ultra-lightweight in-line Slim’Remote Control.
