The latest Stereo Gaming Headset from ROCCAT is named Kulo, is very light (suitable for LAN Parties), and comes with an unique feature: the Automatic Mic-Mute; also, the in-line volume control is very handy. Even if it is an on-ear model, it's confortable even after many hours of use.

On the external part of the right cup, we can find the ROCCAT logo and product name:

 

 

 

The earpieces are padded with artificial leather, with a soft fabric center:

Here is a look on the back of the removed earpiece:

 

 

 

The left cup has the microphone attached to it, with an “automatic mic-mute” mechanism; when the microphone is raised, it will be disconnected completely from our audio system:

 

 

 

 

If the microphone is lowered in the normal talking position, it will automatically connect; this is very helpful, because we do not have to press this way every time we are in a Skype conference the mute button, or lower the microphone volume manually through the Volume Control panels or sound card application:
