Introduction

I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works. CaseKing is the official distributor of Kossart in Germany.

Kossart is a relatively new company on the gaming headset market. The Kossart h50 I will be reviewing today is their first attempt at making a good bang for the buck headset. Compared to most new headsets the Kossart looks pretty old school, but don't let the design fool you this headset is all about performance. What sets the Kossart h50 apart from most of the midrange headsets on the market today is the fact that it’s bigger and constructed in an old fashion. The h50 features ear cups that completely cover your ears and help to block out outside noise.

The no nonsense design of the h50 is very appealing because you get a lot of headset for the money. The Kossart h50 will set you back around 59.99 €, which isn't so bad for a midrange headset.

Specifications

• Technical specification:
• Frequency response: 10 - 20 000 Hz
• Sensitivity: 97 dB ± 3 dB
• Impedance: 60 Ω
• Plug: Straight 3,5 mm (gold plated)
• Cord: 1,5 m
• Weight: 410 g

The specifications are pretty standard when it comes to a pair of midrange headphones. The only thing that's a bit surprising is the high impedance rating of the drives.

The Package

The package that the h50 arrived in is really colorful compared to what I'm used to. One of the aspects that Kossart puts much emphasis on is the fact that the headset is ergonomic and thus comfortable to wear. Just by looking at the package it becomes clear that this headset means business. The only points that Kossart tries to promote with this headset is its sound and ergonomics which also becomes very apparent once you see the headset.


On the back of the package all of the specifications for the headset are listed. I think that a little slip up occurred when making the packing for the product because the impedance rating listed on the back of the package doesn't match the one they listed on their web page.

Besides the headset you also get a black imitated leather bag which is very suiting for this no nonsense headset.
