    Syn Pro Air, a new gaming headset from Roccat

    Roccat, the German brand of peripherals dedicated to gaming, It differs from the Elo range by its angular design and the integration of 3D audio technology.

    Less than a year after the release of its Elo range , Roccat announces the release of the Syn Pro Air, its new wireless gaming headset with more premium features. The fourth headset to be released since the acquisition by Turtle Beach.

    It benefits from the latest sound and ergonomic technologies from the American giant, such as Superhuman Hearing, making it possible to accentuate sounds deemed “critical” during a game such as footsteps or recharging noises of a weapon.

    The Syn Pro Air also features the same 50mm speakers found on some Turtle Beach helmets like the Elite Atlas Aero.

    Material For Syn Pro Air

    Roccat Syn Pro Air

    The Syn Pro Air is an over-ear headphones with rather singular rectangular design earpads. These fold flat and are each covered with an RGB light strip, an essential feature of any self-respecting gaming headset.

    The pads are made of memory foam covered with a sweat-wicking and heat-resistant fabric – often annoying sensations on the pads covered with imitation leather.

    Real 3D Sound

    Beyond its clean design, the Syn Pro Air sets itself apart from the other headphones of the German brand by the integration of a 3D audio technology supposed to “push the limits of traditional 7.1 surround sound by introducing a third dimension in the sound spectrum ”.

    A beautiful program, which would however have left us less perplexed if it had really been able to rely on 3D sound sources, and not on a simple upmix of the 7.1 mixes of the games. The processing will have a lot to do to fight against the “real” 3D sound treatments offered natively

    NEON Software support

    The headset accompanies the release of Neon, the Roccat device management application like what Logitech does with Logitech G Hub for example.

    The user can thus configure the RGB lighting of the Syn Pro Air or activate certain features such as 3D audio or Superhuman Hearing. Unfortunately, no equalizer seems available at the moment.

  • Logitech G935 Wireless Headset Review

    Logitech G935 Wireless

    Wireless Headset

    Today where everything works without cables, it seems crazy to us to have to play on a wired controller. It’s the same with headsets and earphones, which are increasingly abandoning this aspect.

    However, wireless technology is considered by audiophiles to be a disgrace for one simple aspect. The sound signal switches from analog to digital, therefore natively providing signal compression.

    Logitech, which has been specializing in gaming equipment for several years now, is trying to offer today with the Logitech G935 a headset that overcomes this concern through its unique technology.

    The first report with the helmet really gives you confidence. The box highlights this one with a photo of the helmet, as well as the various selling points. The box itself therefore offers the headphones, charging cables and wired connection as well as the instructions.

    Part Of G935

    Regarding the wireless part, Logitech had the good idea to slip the UBS key, mandatory for the use of the headset in the wireless configuration, in one of the ears. In order to balance the whole, we find on the other side the battery, also removable. The helmet weighs its weight, we feel it from our first use.

    The headphones themselves are quite large, allowing to encompass the whole ear which is a very good point compared to the comfort that we will have in the long term. This Logitech G935 completely falls into the category of adaptable headsets, offering here an adjustment on the height, but also headphones that can perform a rotation in order to be able to follow the shape of our head.

    Regarding the colors, if the whole helmet offers a fairly shiny black, you will find on the other hand a whole backlit aspect. Controllable via the software available on a PC, the LEDs are fully customizable, thanks to a fairly complete RGB management. You will also find several buttons on the volume edge, on the headset, which are also customizable.

    Microphone

    Note that for more comfort, Logitech has opted for a retractable microphone system. A good idea if you use the headset more for cinema use than online video games.

    The microphone activates only when it is lowered. Regarding the wireless part, the whole works over a distance of ten meters. And regarding its compatibility, you can play wirelessly on PC, PS4 but also on Nintendo Switch.

    Dolby Atmos Testing

    We recently told you about the Plantronics RIG 500 Pro which had managed to offer a rather convincing analog headset, in particular with its use of Dolby Atmos. Here, a DTS Headphone X 2.0 certification is offered, with very correct and complete spatialization. We had the opportunity to test the headphones in cinema condition.

    The Windows Netflix and OCS applications make it possible in particular to be able to see on your PC a good part of their catalog in 5.1 and some titles in Atmos which allows to be able to have a rather complete first overview of the capabilities of the headset, even with a different certification.

    After seeing Jeff Tremaine’s The Dirt , we decided to throw our ear to one of the more recently released and most impressive sound- wise movies. Blade Runner 2049 by Dennis Villeneuve. The observation is clear, the whole 3D spatialization part works wonderfully! The bass is quite deep, and you really feel all the sound design done.

    Conclusion

    The result works very well, with a nice balance. The strength of the headphones is this possibility, moreover, in the software of being able to adjust the equalization of the headphones fairly precisely, making it possible to resolve here the concerns that we may have on certain films and games.

    To confirm our opinion, we decided to launch the headset for large gaming sessions. The conclusion is clear: the headset is a real success. On some parts of Overwatch or Sekiro, we find ourselves hearing in a fairly precise way all the movements, the position of the enemies and their proximity to us.

    It is therefore a helmet that can be very useful especially in a multiplayer context to refine your skills. Even in purely stereo use, the headphones manage to offer correct spatialization, with convincing sound reproduction. Regarding the microphone, we can see that it is of rather good quality.

    Little background noise, and a rather clear rendering in the end. We will not go so far as to record a voice-over, in particular because of a sufficient frequency band, but not as open as a conventional recording microphone.
