It’s back, the marvellous headset that I mentioned in an earlier post, the one that I had such a hard time getting sent. Do I regret taking my time sending it now that it’s back? Fuck yeah. Does it feel good to have it back on my head? Definitely. As I mentioned earlier, the headset is simply marvellous. It’s originally made for gaming, fps-gaming to be more precise, with emphasis on sounds like footsteps and such in the games. This clicked with me completely. I love bass, but it wears me out quickly, and in alot of sound-systems these days the bass is overemphasized to the extreme, or has some other weird distortion that leaves alot to be desired. I know, I know, I could have spent 2500 NOK on a supreme headset like Martin would, but no thanks, this covers my needs nicely (though I really admire Martin for his ability to not only be that demanding, but also being able to spend the cash without feeling any apparent regret. I know I would, but I’m not anything remotely close to a connoiseur).
The downside that isn’t a downside? Originally I bought the version that brought a USB soundcard along, and the one I was returned is the non-USB version. Not that I mind, in practicality the USB-soundcard was good, but totally unnecessary for my needs (something I discovered later, but I wanted to use it for several machines back then). So now I’ve sent a letter to komplett.no detailing their mistake, telling them that it’s ok, but considering the price-difference combined with the shipment cost, the extra price for the headset I’m wearing now is over 200 NOK more than the worth in the shop. Would be nice to get some of that back. We’ll see what happens.
Happy!
Oh, and prepare for being Skyped again, the sound is back, and it’s nice to talk in them again.
