Test: Rude Gameware - Primal Wireless headset

Konklusion

Det er altid spændende at teste noget der er en smule anderledes, og det må man sige at dette headset med sine trådløse kvaliteter er. Headsettet virker ved hjælp af infrarød, og så længe man bliver indenfor ca. 7 meter af boksen, er der krystal klart signal igennem. Designet virker måske en smule skrøbeligt, men til trods for det, fik jeg ikke ødelagt det under testen. Ved multimedier kunne man godt ønske lidt mere power, men denne fik man til gengæld så snart headsettet var i sit rette element - nemlig spil!

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Vi giver headsettet et 4-tal i denne kategori, fordi det er dejligt at se et trådløst produkt der rent faktisk lever op til det der står på boksen. Det trådløse virker upåklageligt, og det er dejligt at man ikke kvæles i ledningen.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Bundlen er meget neutral. Der kunne måske godt have været lidt bedre beskrivelse af brugen af headsettet, overfor hr. og fru Jensen. X-Box muligheden, samt de genopladelige batterier er et smart trick, kombineret med boksen som lader station, så man ikke skal ud og investere i en million batterier!

Design/Layout - 3
Designet kan virke en smule skrøbeligt, men det virker umiddelbart til at holde. Ørekopperne kunne godt være en smule større, og dække ørerne totalt, men dette lagde jeg nu egentlig ikke så meget mærke til, da det kom til spil. Samtidig virkede de meget behagelige at have på over længere tid.

Ydelse - 4
Headsettet gjorde det ret godt. Der var godt gang i film og musik, men man kunne godt have ønsket en tand til - til gengæld var der rigeligt med knald på spillene, og man kunne orientere sig om hvor lydene kom fra, i forhold til ens egen position. Så her var headsettet meget positivt.

Pris - 3
Prisen for headsettet ligger på omkring 750,- kr. ifølge EDBpriser. Dette er måske lige i overkanten, da der er nogle ret voldsomme alternativer i denne prisklasse, men nu er headsettet jo trådløst, og endda et godt et af slagsen, så vi ender med at sige, at prisen nok er fair nok alligevel.

UK summary

It is always exciting to test something that is a bit different, and one has to say that this headset is just that, with its wireless capabilities. The headset works with infrared, and for as long as you are within 7 meters/25 feet of the box, the signal should be crystal clear. The design might seem a bit fragile, but despite that I did not manage to destroy the headset during the test. When playing multimedia files, one could have wished for a bit more power, but on the other hand you got plenty of this, as soon as the headset was at its right element, gaming.

Innovation/Technology - 4
We will give the headset a score of 4 in this category, because it is nice to see a wireless product actually live up to what it says on the box. The wireless features work very well, and it is nice to not choke on the chord.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
The bundle is very neutral. Maybe the manual could have described the uses a bit better towards Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The rechargable batteries is a clever trick, combined with the box as a recharger, you do not have to invest in a million batteries.

Design/Layout - 3
The design might seem a bit fragile, but it does however seem to last. The ear-cups could maybe be a tad bigger, to fully cover the ear, but you did not really notice this, when you were playing games. At the same time the ear-cups did seem rather pleasent to the ear, even after long time use.

Performance - 4
The headset did quite well. It performed well in both movies and music, but we could have wished for a bit more. On the other hand there was plenty of power, when it came to the games, and it was quite easy to make our where the sounds were coming from, compared to your own position. So in this category the headset was very positive.

Price - 3
The price of this headset is currently about 750,- DKK according to EDBpriser. This might be a bit much, since there are some quite hardcore alternatives in this price range, but since it is wireless, and even a good one of that sort, we will end up concluding that the price is probably fair.
