The Kulo boasts an attractive design that will fit in perfectly if you already own any of Roccat's existing gaming peripherals. Build quality is also on the same level as the rest of Roccat's range which means the Kulo should last you a long time, thanks to it's metal backbone and high quality plastics.
With the Kulo, Roccat have managed to reach new levels of comfort that would be unimaginable with the bulky Kave headset. The compact form and light weight of the Kulo make it ideal for those who game on the move or frequent LAN events. We were a little underwhelmed by the overall performance of the Kulo which wasn't as good as we were expecting, especially when playing music. The gaming experience was better, though, so those who plan to use the headset for gaming only won't be disappointed.
The Roccat Kulo can be yours for a shade under £50 inc. VAT from Scan which puts in in a similar price range to the Corsair HS1A which is a much better buy at £55. We feel the Kulo is a little overpriced as it is only around £15 cheaper than the Kave and £10 cheaper than the SteelSeries Siberia V2 which both offer better value for money, despite the higher price. If the price of the Kulo were to come down by £10, we would be much more inclined to recommend it.
KitGuru says: A good headset, let down only by the high retail price
I bought this headset. It is actually pretty good although I have to agree with the sound quality comments. It goes very loud but there is considerable distortion at the upper 30% of the volume. They should have limited the output earlier.
The drivers are quite budget oriented meaning it can muddle up complex arrangements. classic is terrible on them, but synth pop is ok as long as the bass isn’;t too forceful.
Gaming they are good, I forget they are on as they are light and comfortable.
fair review, but I would recommend them to people who aren’t too fussy about the sound quality,.
Seems not bad looking for the price. but yeah price drop needed, this is a competitive market.
My frustration.. clearly has no end! I’ve been through $500 worth of headsets in the last few months.. trying desperately to find a perfect headset.
During the Corsair HS1 review. Zardon clearly nailed the fact that the bass was more natural instead of the artificial bass we seem to get with most other headsets.
My god. I love the Corsair HS1. And i want its perspective on sound. But… i miss the artificial bass. I dont want it on all the time but i do love the feeling you get when that bass activates on the lows.
I believe there is a place for the Corsair clarity. Its essential. I also believe that the artificial bass. The more pronounced bass that we’re accustomed to these days has a place. Although i love my Corasir’s and my ears are getting used to the natural bass it provides. I still miss the better part of the artificial bass that brings the lower end of the spectrum to life… but I think that this effect needs to be confined to a specific range.
I’m looking for the best gaming headset for my favorite online game. any suggestions?
