Great sound and a clear microphone are must haves when it comes to gaming headsets. The latest from ROCCAT — the Khan AIMO RGB gaming headset — boasts both and features an integrated 7.1 24-bit 96KHz DAC sound card for high-resolution sound. Even better? The suggested retail price won’t break the bank either.
The Khan AIMO features an integrated sound card capable of producing crystal clear sound up to 24-bit at 96KHz, easily outperforming onboard audio solutions provided on most gaming motherboards. This ensures gamers don’t have to worry about having a headset that needs a specific sound card, with the Khan AIMO representing a complete, premium solution right out of the box. The dedicated sound card coupled with high-end driver units offer amazing virtual 7.1 surround sound, placing the gamer right at the center of the action, improving immersion in-game as well as the ability to pinpoint enemy locations. The virtual surround sound can also be disabled by users as per their preference, with the Khan AIMO functioning as an excellent stereo headset as well.
With 50mm drivers that support Hi-Res audio, the Khan Aimo weighs only 275 grams for a light, comfortable fit. It is also compatible with ROCCAT’s Swarm software allowing users to set RGB effects as well as toggle between different equalizer modes to tweak the sound to their liking.
