The faint sound of footsteps on a staircase, a booming shot from the wood, or the horde of zombies lying in wait behind a rock – moments that can be game-winning in an important gaming level if the direction from where the threatening sound is coming cannot be determined fast enough. The dynamic uRage "SoundZ 800" 7.1 overhead headset therefore impresses with 7.1 virtual surround sound: Deep basses and clear trebles make game sounds sound even more realistic, and help gamers locate them in a flash. To fine adjust the volume, the headset has a volume control and a microphone mute switch integrated in the cable. For more freedom of movement, the microphone arm is completely removable. This is quite practical, when purely listening to music, for instance, or when streaming a film. Alongside all these features, this overhead headset also looks good – LED illumination of the earpads in six different modes can be switched on separately.

And in matters of comfort, the headset boasts padded fabric earpads and a single-sided, extra-long two-metre cable.
