KLIM Puma

When my old Turtle beach headset broke after some years of use I decided to try and save some money, we all know most popular brands over charge simply for their reputation after all, and I bought one of the cheapest sets I could find on Amazon. They were ok - did the job for a week, until they suddenly cut out and died on me mid game. I realised the cheapest sets were not going to cut it, so I looked for something mid price range and discovered these gems. Oh my, these are far superior to the Turtle beach set I had at well over double this price.The sound quality is perfect, as an audiophile I find it difficult to imagine how these can be topped for gaming (I listen to music with my system, not usually headphones, will certainly have to test these compared to my senheiser cans).The build quality is better than the Turtle beach set I owned, I am seriously impressed by this start up company and their apparent commitment to delivering superior design, quality and innovation to their products.I am starting to sound like a paid advertisement now, which is unfortunate as I received no money, but I am slightly overwhelmed when I receive first class quality backed by a 2 year promise of what appears to be first class service at half of the price of their competitors. In this day and age, this is indeed a very rare thing, so I even looked forward to writing a review about this product and the company.They are absolutely comfortable to wear, I suspect some people may think they are too tight but with some adjustment by pulling the cups down a little further, I find they fit around my ear very nicely and deliver accurate sound for positioning in games. What is more, I can finally hear my team mates clearly again and I am told I am crystal clear on their end. There is always the argument that you need stereo 'phones for accurate sound placement in FPS, well I'm no longer a believer in that either, I have had much more accurate positioning in the last few days with these than ever before using stereo. It is also SO much more immersive, in a dark room at night I feel I am really right there in the action. Just astounding.The design is very interesting, with metal mesh panels covering the LED logo on the side, and although I do look somewhat like a robot while wearing them I can tell that each decision made during manufacturing was for my benefit - the 'squeeze' for example cuts ambient sound to such levels that I missed a package from the postman (I could hear the door with my Turtle beach set).Sound is crisp and loud enough that I find myself turning the volume down a fair bit more than I normally ever have, with the added vibration effect the bass 'kick' is satisfying and actually addds a slightly new dimension to the experience - it is quite hard to explain but it seems to surround the bass sounds with a warm envelope, so that as I was running along the ground or shooting in a game there is a reverberation somewhat similar to a sub woofer although obviously in a localised area. At first it was a little strange and annoying so I kept turning it off, however I now leave it on and am loving it.I don't sit right next to my rig while I play, so I would have liked just a little bit more cord, but it is still more than enough that I can sit quite far from the computer and game without my coolers blowing all over me. The cord itself looks rugged, the braided design will last for time, I am sure. Perhaps one gripe would be the slightly clunky volume control which although works flawlessly with no hiss or crackles introduced into the sound when moved just seems a little bit bulky. I think most sets I have come across have this so perhaps it is intentional to keep this thing alive for years to come. In an ideal world I would have an LED on the volume control to know when the microphone mute toggle is active too. The volume control could be a little higher on the cord so that it doesn't slip off your lap, as others have suggested, but again this is really just being very picky for the sake of a review that might help someone.It took minutes to download and install the drivers, the product looks like it is worth far more money than I paid and the quality of sound is simply astounding. The thing that really sold me on this company is their clear concern for the customers experience, it is a rare thing to back your product for 2 years and I doubt I will ever have to call them based on how rugged these feel.This is the best purchase I have made this year, and leaves me a little warm and fuzzy inside. I only hope I 'need' to buy more of their products in future as the need arises, because I am blown away, and I always like to support good, honest people like this, thank you KLIM! I know you have a tester program and you are welcome to contact me in regards to this if you ever need, I feel like I am going to be using your products for many happy years to come.You need this headset in your lives.

Let's get it out of the way, these headphones are excellent. This is the third Klim headset I've owned over the years now. I've had two sets of Mantis' and now the Puma's. I tend to wear through the pads. Happens with a lot of headphones for me, I don't know why. Anyway...These are a big step up over the Mantis headset and for not a lot more money. The sound is better in my opinion and the vibration effect is amazing. They literally vibrate on your head! It makes the bass sounds (gunshots in games, music and movies) so much more impactful. I honestly thought it was a gimmick when I read about it but its real and really enjoyable and I'm not sure I could do without it now. Seriously, I'm 43 and I was giggling like a schoolboy, it's really cool.Make sure you download and install the drivers. The software isn't much to right home about but its functional and gives you all the features you need. On my Mantis' I needed to use the equaliser to sort out the muddy sounds when they were first connected. On the Puma's had no such issues, of course this is very much to taste so just make sure you get it installed in case you need it.I don't use the mic a lot but I did do a little voice recording to check it worked and I could hear myself nice and clearly (though as you know, listening to yourself is never fun but I can't blame the headset for that).I am really pleased with these. It breaks my heart these don't get more attention for the price they are. They are such great quality at a very reasonable price. In my opinion more people should get these.A final word of warning. These headphones are loud, like REALLY LOUD and there are two independent volume controls. The one on the cable is an inline volume control but DOES NOT affect the volume setting on your PC/Console. That means you can have the volume on your computer or console to the max but turn it down on the controls on the cable. Or you can have the volume on the cable set up to maximum and use the controls in Windows or your console to control the volume. I use the latter setup as I like to know my precise volume levels so I don't damage my ears plus it stops me accidentally turning them up too far. But if you like things loud, well these have volume available, more than I could cope with.That's it, I can't recommend these enough. Well done Klim.

I bought this headset to replace my Corsair one after the microphone snapped off.Pro's;-Very comfortable fit & weight on the head, for me it fits very well-The Vibration feature is superb for added imersion. I play Company of Heroes & a multitude of other RTS & FPS games. You'll find this headset incredibly immersive during big battles & gun fights.- The Microphone does not pick up excessive audio from the background in my experience so far.-Honestly - the audio quality is absolutely on par with the named brand big boys. I have owned a few headsets in my time of PC gaming and this definately sits on par with them in terms of audio quality. Once you adjust the sound settings to your liking you'll be very happy im sure.Con's:- The headset is a solid build however, it is very plasticy for my liking. Like i said it is a solid unit so im sure it will be fairly durable. For this price i cant really complain too much though.- The microphone is very limited in movement compared to other headsets. I believe you can only rotate the microphone away or towards your mouth.- The braided cable likes to loop itself & it doesnt feel like the highest of quality cables so i'm expecting this will be the future problem with the headset.All in all i think this is a perfect headset for anyone starting out with using headsets and gaming & for anyone looking for a decent headset for a low price. I think the audio quality is fantastic for the price & the vibration feature really does add to the immersion of games. I think the build quality could be better & the braiding needs to be better. The microphone will be an issue for some people im sure however this isnt an issue for me.All in all i'd give this a 4/5.

Worth every penny.

Hi guys...I don't want to dwell on the review, let's get to 10 points and what I liked the most:1. Excellent presentation, box and accessories, stylish decals, not too much, not too little here, just right.2. USB you connect it and Windows 10 recognizes it in 10 seconds at most, excellent! thanks KLIM!3. I don't need to install drivers but I want to, but you can install the application to use it from the KLIM website.4. Smell good, new and pure technology :)5. High quality cable design, well designed terminals. [3 more feet of cable would have been great, but I can connect them to a USB extension cord, the cable is just the right length, a little more would have been even better ].6. Mic and headset LED, pure style, quality matte orange :)7. Comfortable but a bit tight as in my case I use them over a hat, the leather perspires a bit but tolerable, comfortable and light.8. Open and soft sound, excess of low frequencies for music that you can control with an equalizer in seconds, the treble is warm and balanced mids.9. The mic is elegant, the sound is clean and smooth, not too much gain but even if you talk loud it never distorts. Apply some extra gain from OBS and a noise gate if you have a lot of background noise, but either way, the voice sounds wonderfully good through this great mic, balanced bass, and extremely well done mids and highs. 10/10 to the MIC.10. Headphones that for quality, performance and cost are a 10/10. If you can get them at $20-$25 buy them, even at $39 they are still incredibly affordable. Thank you KLIM for this excellent product!

Very good sound, perfect fitting the ears..

I freaking love these headphones. Reviews were all spot on, bass is heavy, but still a great product. I saw some complaints about the vibration function and I honestly love it. I don’t leave it on because it can be really disorienting, but it’s a really cool feature to have and turn on or off whenever.For the price these are incredible, I wouldn’t normally give sound quality a perfect score, except that this is only $50. It’s still really good though.I have a slightly above average sized head, the fit is perfect and has plenty of room. They sit snug too.I love the simple design and it’s the main reason I got these, glad I’m so vain because everything else about the headphones was much better than I expected.Update after a year: my cat has knocked my headset off my desk too many times to count and there are no problems. This company gained a lifelong fan, I’ll upgrade within the family (if they keep the simple design hah) when this set dies. the sound quality is still amazing for the price point, you cannot go wrong with this headset.

Wie der Titel schon sagt ist das Klim Puma für mich ein herausragendes Headset.Hatte das Headset schon vor einer ganzen Weile für meine Freundin gekauft, da sie ein neues für ihren PC haben wollte den sie sich in absehbarer Zeit zulegen wollte. Naja, das ganze hatte nu etwas länger gedauert als erwartet. Nachdem sie es zum ersten Mal ausgepackt und probiert hatte wollte ich es auch mal im Vergleich zu meinem Creative Headset testen. Schon von der ersten Minute in The Division 2 an war für mich klar das ich mein Creative Predator Headset gegen ein Klim Puma austauschen muss.Die Tonqualität fand ich überragend. Die 7.1 Funktion des Headsets kam für meine Augen sehr gut rüber da ich selbst das Feuergefecht 3 Straßen weiter noch hören konnte wie ich es wahrscheinlich auch in der Realität wahr genommen hätte und auch die Vibrationsfunktion wusste bei jeder Kugel die das Sturmgewehr meines Agents verließ zu überzeugen.Auch der Tragekomfort wird bei diesem Headset groß geschrieben. Die Ohrmuscheln sind groß genug damit das Ohr ganz hinein passt. Bisher hatte ich das Creative Predator wegen der ovalen Ohrmuscheln da dessen Vorgänger mit runden immer aufs Ohr drückten (Was ich als Brillenträger als extrem unangenehm empfand) und somit nach langem tragen Kopfschmerzen zur Folge hatten. Beim Klim Puma hatte ich dieses Problem nicht trotz langer Tragezeit beim ausprobieren (Glaube es waren so 6-7 Std. am Stück).Zuletzt wurde auch von Freunden die mit mir im Teamspeak saßen die Mikrofon Qualität gelobt welche als recht klar und gut verständlich betitelt wurde was bei meinem Predator nie der Fall war.Alles in allem bekommt man hier ein Top Headset zu einem erschwinglichen Preis. Wer also auf der Suche ist kann sie hiermit beenden und einfach ein Klim Puma kaufen. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall wieder tun.
