ROCCAT Khan AIMO 7.1 RGB Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2018-06-06

After trying the Khan AIMO headset with multiple games such as DOOM, The Crew 2 Beta, Frostpunk and No One Lives Forever, we were quite impressed by the audio quality and bass representation, thanks to the large, 50mm Neodymium drivers. The headset is quite light and easy to use controls are available on the exterior of the right cup as well (Stereo to virtual 7.1 switch, Volume rocker). The built-in AMP/DAC does allow playback up to 24-bit 96 KHz, making it Hi-Res Audio compatible and great for other multimedia content as well, such as music and movies. We can switch between sampling rates from the ROCCAT Swarm interface or the Windows GUI, but after each modification we would also require to restart the applications that were currently using the controller.

A Closer Look Part II

On the outside of each earcup, we will be able to spot a subtle ROCCAT logo:

The earpads are made of memory foam, while the top layer is made of leatherette; the over-ear design helps in terms of comfort especially people that do wear glasses. The large 50mm drivers do have a frequency response between 10 and 40000Hz, an impedance of 32 Ohms and a maximum SPL at 1kHz of 99dB:

On the exterior of the right cup we will be able to spot the Volume wheel, but also the Surround Sound toggle button:

The microphone is located on the exterior of the left cup, but we think that a retractable design would have looked better:

Its body can be adjusted as needed, in order to be heard properly in conferences; speaking of the hardware specs, its frequency response is between 100 and 10000Hz, THD @ 1kHz – 2%, the sensitivity at 1kHz is -40dB, the SNR was measured as 60dB, while the impedance is 2.2k Ohms:

Soft foam covered by leatherette is also available on the headband:

The top headband area does feature a ROCCAT logo:
