Kave user reporting,e verything is perfect except for its weight, i think the cushion is a little bit too thin and small, that the weight it puts on the head is localized and causing headache, at least for me. Eh how do u tweak to get a better bass? I'm setting the base equalizer to max, rest on low and crack the master volume to max.

Apart from that, it's a fantastic headset! Tested on BC2, vibration doesnt kicks in during mortar strike or tank blast beside you. However, it does kicks in lightly when a chopper hovers near you , sometimes i hope it'll hover longer coz it feels like massaging your head tongue.gif

ah, using X-fi XtremeGamer btw!

actually, there`s a little way to wear a bit lighter

you must wear kave like you wear those clamp headphone, it means you can't you must choose a smaller size instead of big change to wear it tighter, so like that, weight will be distribute evenly.

for those that are using kave and having pain on top of their head, it's because you choose a big size and wear your kave loosely and the weight will be focus on top causing you some pain.

there's one thing as well, kave should be wear like.
1.the top where the cushion is should be in minor front a bit, this is also because you need to point the rear speaker to your rear.

2.don't wear loosely, or you will have suffer some pain on top of your head.

i thought if u tighten it'll be worse? that's why i loosen it afterward so that i let the earcup hold the headset in position and the top doesnt touch my head.

You will need boost your bass level via software, it's included in my X-fi software. Not very sure about other sound card though. The reason you dont feel any vibration is because the default bass is not high enough to trigger the vibration. Set your Kave bass equalizer to max, Rear,Center,Front at about 1/4 to 1/2 level, and crank your master volume knob as high as possible. If there's still no vibration, chances is that you need to boost your bass via software means (i.e:equalizer)
