Regular visitors to Benchmark Reviews have likely noticed that, collectively, we have been churning out a number of ROCCAT gaming peripheral and gaming audio reviews in recent months, and it is unlikely that this trend will decline. The result of this ROCCAT “full-court press” is a number of quality, feature-packed devices; many of which have the versatility and customization options to suit just about anyone’s needs. We will see if today’s featured item, the ROCCAT Kave XTD Premium Stereo Gaming Headset, is consistent with the previous statement.

ROCCAT is not a newcomer in terms of producing quality gaming headsets. A variety of ROCCAT gaming headset models, which includes the in-ear variety, are currently available. The current addition to the stable, the ROCCAT Kave XTD Stereo Gaming Headset, is regarded by ROCCAT as possessing the, “highest quality sound experience gamers can engage in.” Considering that these Kave XTD Stereo Gaming Headsets are equipped with 50mm neodymium speaker units in each ear cup, that statement is within the realm of possibility.
