Introduction

Traditionally a headset is basically a large pair of earmuffs which have speakers in the ears and lots of padding for comfort. Roccat are clearly very good in this field with their recently released Kave 5.1 which was definitely given the thumbs up.

However, a second ‘headset’ was launched by Roccat but it’s not what you might think; instead the Roccat Vire is a pair of in-ear headphones that you would expect to find accompanying an iPod or other mp3 device. So, I’m guessing you’re thinking well how do I communicate in game then? Well, there is a tiny in built microphone on the wires allowing you to speak freely without a bulky microphone in front of you.

But the Vire is not only for use with PCs; similarly it can be used for iPhones, mp3 players and pretty much any sound device that will take a 3.5mm jack. Enough said, let’s take a look...
