First impressions of these PS3 gaming specific headphones are that this is an impressive but if audio kit. The quality 'resident evil' themed packaging suggests a high quality contents, and we weren't disappointed.These headphones are well manufactured. Light and precision made, no effort seems to have been spared.
They are well crafted.
Smooth audio control sliders (one for voice, one for game) make inplay adjustments simple and smooth. With even a little clip added into the cable to attach the sliders to your clothing.
The ear areas also boast snug fitting and well stitched muffs, all colour coded (of course) in the Resident Evil style of red and black.
No worries either in the length department... With over 4 metres of cable, there's plenty distance between you and that PS3 console at the other end of the room.
Attached to the gaming headphones is a bendable metal stalk mic which can be twisted into any shape or direction you like really. Basically, a mic to suit every position preference.
The head arch attached to the cans is if course expandable to fit most averaged sized craniums, although you may find these a snug fit if you answer to the name 'Lurch'.
![Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Stereo Gaming Headset [Review]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tB7AK8CQQPwW4aVtXsCh1E3zOEWDtdMlth_gNS4MSxEcToB2if5t4Hz91LDeP4k0jyJ8xypFCqqeR4d6dcdI7fIF5faaVHyT10oj91MgAveYvRdmXtuDrVW4KVyDf9XeOQhfY=s0-d)
True to manufacturers "4gamers" promise, the "quick and easy" plug and play connection was just that, quick and easy. Two connections require plugging into your ps3. One acts as a bridge between your HD in cable and the headphones, the other a USB which resides in one of the front PS3 ports, and you're done.
Set up within the PS3 audio settings area was also straight forward and well documented with the inbox instruction booklet. Two clicks (enable audio accessory area for one) and it was game on.
To demonstrate the flexibility of the headset, we chose Battlefield 3 rather than the branded Resident Evil theme (it's fair to assume you might want to use these with more than one game). The resulting audio experience is awesome. Switching the audio to super stereo, every small background detail is captured by these babies. Ok, they're not wireless, but who cares when it's as easy to set up and with such great audio results as the CP-CAP2 stereo gaming headset.
Changing the audio balances of both voice and game audio 'ingame' couldn't be easier and smoother. And with a handy voice 'mute' button on the sliders, you can feel free to let rip a burp from time to time without your online brothers in arms recoiling in disgust in the other side of the online world.
As a final comparison, we compared the audio quality to that of a pair of standard Sony £90 cans. The audio on the CP-CAP2 isn't quite as deep, but then again, the weigh and cost only half as much.
The bottom line is that if you want quality, quick hassle free audio headset gaming at a decent cost without the grief of having to charge a wireless headset every night, then this beauty does the trick. For once, we have a product that performs as well as it looks.
Featuring:
Retail approx £45 UK
Pros: - Quick set up, no charging requires, smooth controls, very lightweight, great price
Cons: - Little lacking in bass, those with very large heads may find these a little 'snug' shall we say.
