#ROCCAT KAVE XTD SETUP BLUETOOTH#

When taking a call or making a call the phone button will light up for the duration of the call and all background volume will be muted so that the person calling or being called can be heard. Once paired, the display symbol will stay lit until the phone is unpaired or out of range.

In order to start the pairing process with a smart phone, the phone button must be pressed and held for about 3-5 seconds in which the Bluetooth display symbol will start flashing. The great part about this is that phone calls can be taken and made without even having to take off the headset and to top it off, calls wonРІР‚в„ўt be missed because of wearing this headset. The next is the very innovative Bluetooth phone button that allows for the pairing of a smart phone. The first function control button is the microphone mute button which lights up when enabled. Right below the volume dial there is a nice display indicator that lights up and shows the current volume level. The volume dial has some smooth rubber-like grips for easy gripping and turns very smoothly yet has enough resistance that you canРІР‚в„ўt accidentally spin the dial causing extremely high volume. The volume control dial is right at the center of the control unit along with five function control buttons around it. The cord of this headset is long enough that the control unit can be maneuvered to just about anywhere on your desk while keeping it at armРІР‚в„ўs length. Now there is no more guessing if both sides are even, you now have a visual aid to tell you what both sides are extended to, which in my case is 04.Р”Р„s you can see the shape of the in-line control unit is a little bit bigger than the control unit on the original Kave but at the same time itРІР‚в„ўs more innovative. These numbers range from 01 to 08 but there are notches in the band to allow for half increments such as 03.5 which allow for 16 different settings on each side. What makes it a great improvement is that it also has numbers to indicate the level on both sides. Another nice feature about this headset is the subtle change in the band has the snap grooves that allow you to change the length of it. With just both of these simple yet very comfortable changes in padding, instead of wearing this headset for long hours, it can almost be worn for the whole day. The padding on this headset is much softer and feels almost like memory foam and feels so much more comfortable on the head than the padding from the previous version of this headset. To go along with the ear cups, the headband padding is completely redesigned. The other part about them that is very nice is that they have extra padding on the back side of the pads so that it evens out the pressure all around the ears. The ear cups feel thicker and more firm but still have a very nice cushioning to them. Some of the physical features that did change about this headset are the ear cups, the headband and the headband padding. WhatРІР‚в„ўs better about the new mic design is that the light is mainly located on the inside part of the mic making it very visible. ItРІР‚в„ўs a great feature to have and lets you know when you are talking to yourself or to other people. The microphone mute LED feature is one of the few features that stayed the same from the previous version of this headset and quite rightly so. The last version there was a lot of flexibility with the microphone but because this new version is so well made, there really is not much of a need for flexibility though it still does have some in case some is needed. The other great part about this version of the mic is that it is way sturdier than the previous version. It also allows you to rotate the mic 360Р’В° without issues. As with the previous version, the mic is connected via an RCA like connection which makes for simple connects and disconnects. The first of the many features of this head set is the removable microphone with the mute LED. This type of setup for the inline controller unit is by far much better than their previous setup.

Basically itРІР‚в„ўs a simple plug the USB in, (3.0 compatible), then hook your 5.1 surround speakers into the color coded ports on the control unit and install the drivers from the disc and you are good to go. Installation was extremely simple but the Kave XTD also comes with a quick setup guide if help is needed.
