Unboxing Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9600

in #gaming6 years ago


When playing any videogame we initially take 3 aspects, graphics, gameplay and sound, each of these features will depend a lot on the hardware we have, this time we will focus on the sound.

Most motherboards already have excellent sound cards built in, so we need to look for a device that is good and inexpensive to allow us to experience good audio ambience.

There are home theaters, bugles, headphones, among others, but the most sought-after are headphones that contain an integrated microphone to talk in online video games.

There is a great variety in the market, so choosing one is sometimes a complicated task, today I will show you some Headset that can save you a lot of money if your budget is tight, are the Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9600.

Box

The presentation is quite attractive, you can see the headset model, I consider this very important because it gives you product information without opening the box.

It points out the model with a highlight color, at the top of the strip indicates the type of connector which is 3.5 mm three channels plus a LED function as shown in the figure above.

In 3 of its 4 side faces we will only see the headset mark with a black background, but in one of them we will find a figure that indicates certain features such as the volume control, 3.5 mm connector and a USB.

On the back we will find the features in 8 different languages, we can find parameters such as speaker size, sensitivity, frequency range, among others, also offer us phone numbers, fax and website to get more information about their products.

Presentation

When opening the box we find the headset which are covered by a protective bag with the mark printed on them, this is good to avoid scratches in the shipment.

When the plastic is completely removed, the entire headset cable and an additional manual are shown.

The content of the manual is quite simple, it shows you how to install it on computers, cell phones or tablets, and it has more than 8 languages.

The bag that covers the headset is very easy to remove, allowing you to see clearly our acquisition.

Details

Now we will take a closer look at the Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9600, let's start with the material, the plastic is not very resistant to strong impacts, if it suffers a fall of considerable height it probably won't come out unscathed, but you can see that it is of good quality.

It is lightweight so it feels quite comfortable to wear it, this is an important factor as it is something we will wear for many hours, a heavy headset can cause headaches.

This model has a painted camouflage, the multiple passes of the fingers does not fall off, making it clear that it will not erase so easily over time

The ear cushions that cover the headphones and the top are very comfortable and of an acceptable quality, help us feel the necessary comfort, around our ears as in the top of the head.

At the sides you can see two blue plastics, they light up when you connect the USB to the computer, they look quite attractive in this mode.

On the left side is the microphone which is lowered to a certain position, it is small so it will not bother us at any time apart from the fact that it goes unnoticed from our vision.

One of the things that impressed me the most was the cable, it looks like a shoe rope in addition to having a good thickness, this is excellent as it prevents annoying tangles.

Following the cable you will find a volume and microphone controller, allowing you to control the intensity of the sound you hear through the headphones and mute the microphone at any time.

At the end we will see two connectors, the USB which is protected by a plastic and the 3.5mm audio connector with its three channels.

It is worth noting that the cable measures about 2 meters, this is excellent as it allows us to connect it to the PC or tablet over long distances, I consider it to be of an appropriate size.

Testing stage

The time has come to test the Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9600, for which we had to buy a separate 3.5 audio splitter to separate the audio channels to stereo sound and microphone, however, in the cell phone or tablet works perfectly without the need to use any additional device.

For this test, an integrated Realtek High Definition Audio card was used in Windows 10 with its updated drivers.

First we tested his headphones, for that we used the WInamp program with an excellent song that contains bass and different audio levels, I love to try any headset with the song Bangarang feat Sirah by Skrillex and really sounded great, applying the function of the equalizer improved the sound even more, at maximum power did not lose almost the harmony of sound, however, 90% can be noticed that is the perfect point.

But we will not only listen to music with them, we also need precision with the sounds in videogames, we try two games, League of Legends and Counter Strike Source, in the first one the sounds are heard quite clear, besides perceiving the origin of the same, for example, if our enemy is playing a skill to the right you can hear it perfectly in the right speaker, the same happens with Counter Strike, the steps are something very necessary to listen to surprise our enemy and with these Headset we listen to our environment in a precise way.

Source

Now the microphone, to test it, we use the default sound recorder that uses Windows 10, Discord and League of Legend.

When using it without any configuration of the Realtek console with the sound recorder the sound was very low, it was necessary to make some adjustments with the software of the sound card.

We increased the power of the microphone to +10 dB and the recording volume to 90%, additionally we added the noise suspension filters, when we tested it again with our own voice it sounded perfect.

Now the second test was playing League of Legend and the use of Discord, here we realized that if we have the headphones at a high volume level the microphone played them, this can be annoying for many of our colleagues, so it is necessary from the Realtek software to activate the acoustic echo function, with this we completely eliminate this problem.

Playing more than 5 games, the microphone never stopped working and the headphones sounded spectacular.

Conclusions

The Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9600 is an excellent choice for those gamers looking for a good product at a reasonable price, the sound that comes out of their bugles is of very good quality, the microphone must be configured correctly to work efficiently, also its low weight and earpads makes it a pleasure to use them at any time, I personally recommend them for any type of player.

Positive points

Great price ($25).
Good sound.
Lightweight and comfortable.
Good presentation and design.

Negative points

An audio 3.5 splitter is required for certain equipment.


See You!!!
