When Testing the Product:
Audio Quality:
Personally, We in FM found that this headset it’s worth the price as the sound quality amazed us. We tested on a few games like Battlefield 3, Diablo 3 and also Dota 2. When playing these games, every footsteps, shouts, incoming fire, passing vehicles and also skill used, you will hear everything as it is detailed as if you are in the game itself.
The microphone comes very handy when playing games such as Dota 2 and Battlefield 3 as the clear clean chat conversation with your team-mates is possible. We never had any complains about the sound quality with this headset as it brings the best out of it.
We also tried testing Musics and Movies sound quality. It has a 7.1 surround system (virtual surround sound) which makes the movies comes to alive. Music quality is rich and clear all together. Audio tracks with bass was pleasing as was the volume. Hardwell and Swedish House Mafia played well on this headset.
Aesthetics:
The 7HX comes with a semi rough matt finish with fluorescent red Ozone Gaming marking at the sides. 6 LED on each ear cups makes the headphone looks cool as its shines red all the time. The cloth mesh material and padded ergo design allows users to extend the size of the headset.
Players who have larger heads would not find any problem with this headset as it fits on all head sizes. The detectable microphone also comes with Red LED marking and it is flexible. Users can bend the microphone to their liking when using.
When we first started using the headset, it feels really comfortable and light. We tried gaming for 8 hours straight and we did not feel any heavy object on our head as the cushion surrounding the headset was comfortable.
Software:
To start using this headset you must first install the software given by Ozone Gaming for the headset.
Installing this software is pretty straightforward and fast. A small audio application icon will appear on your desktop once its finish installing. You can change audio settings, customize your audio experience and also enable virtual surround sound in that application.
The Verdict:
From the test runs that we in FM did to this headset, we would recommend you (users) out there to get one of this baby for yourself. If you are looking for a reasonable gaming headset we would strongly recommend you getting the Ozone Rage 7HX 7.1 Surround Headset.
For now, this OzoneGaming gear is not directly available in Malaysia. It is still a new brand that is developing fast in the European Market. We assume that this products will be directly sold in Malaysia maybe sometime next year. If you cant wait to get one of them right now, you can always go to their website at http://www.ozonegaming.com/ to make purchase. Couple of headsets are also sold in Ebay and Amazon.
The Price range of the OzoneGaming Rage 7HX is about $90 to $100 (price in USD dollars – about RM280 to RM300).
