Kulo 7.1 Gaming Headset


THE SOUND accessories sector is a booming market and products are fast becoming ever lighter, louder and lustrous. Take for instance the Roccat Kulo, an ultra-lightweight headset which promises incredible sound quality and solid build with a weight of just 178g. It comes with 40mm drivers optimised for gaming, music and voice chat and also boasts noise cancellation which blocks out background noise and allows the user to concentrate more on in- game sounds.


But what’s really interesting about the Kulo is the way it mutes voice chat. It uses an Automatic Mic-Mute function which lets players flip the microphone down to mute their voice, or flip it up to talk.


Most headsets use a switch on the side of the unit which, after periods of silence, often leads users to forget whether it’s switched on or off. The device’s microphone is also noise filtering so it picks up the gamer’s voice and blocks out unwanted background noise. The Kulo has breathable on-ear padding and a soft headband that lets gamers stay comfortable while playing for hours on end. With its lightweight build, fine sound quality and comfortable padding, the Kulo offers buyers a competitive product in a competitive market. And as a premium headset with a £79.99 RRP, it will also attract those gamers who aren’t willing to pay over the £100 mark for a headset.


store mouse and headset cables in a tidy fashion.


All of these features – along with its svelte styling – ensure the ISKU Keyboard will appeal strongly to PC gamers. It’s a complete package at an affordable price.
