Roccat Syn Max Air review - the max means it's LOUD? |
|
Here's my review of the @turtlebeachpc Syn Max Air wireless headset. It's comfortable and surprisingly good in a number of interesting ways. Highlights include:
Loud sound (too loud frankly) Deep and plush ear cushions Dual connectivity with wireless and bluetooth at the same time Charging base station for "convenient" fast charging Two volume wheels (one of which is customisable) Removable microphone - NOTE the mic was used for the entire voice over.

Too loud in fact. I'm regularly running volume at around 20% or lower it's that loud. Base station is a faff to dock with and not as user friendly as it should be. Battery life seems really good?! but only 16 hours. Docking helps. Can be wired for charging Two volume wheels are confusing. Volume adjustment is fiddly and feels a bit imprecise. Superhuman hearing is interesting but a faff Find out more: https://uk.roccat.com/products/syn-max-air Specs: Direct wireless connection via USB-A transmitter 2.4GHz transmitter frequency response Audio controls: power button, master volume wheel, mic mute, mic monitor wheel Removable unidirectional microphone Over-ear design featuring memory foam Rechargeable 16h battery 20Hz – 20kHz speaker frequency response 50mm speakers with neodymium magnets Windows® 10 & 11 (software support) USB 2.0 (or higher) Internet connection (for driver software) 🏆Big thanks to my super awesome YouTube members: SirSpawnsALot, Meatykeyboard, Beaster Bunny, JayShank007, Rawrr483, DStarastins, McFarty, Riggsy79, Chief Hao, Kraken Tortoise, Aaron Yarden, Paolo madamba, Space Cannons, Mike S and you? 🏆 Want to send me things for videos or other reasons?
