The Roccat Renga Boost gaming headphones certainly have limitations when it comes to bass and design, but they’re still a great budget buy for anyone who isn't an audio geek.

I came in expecting something awesome. ROCCAT products have scored very well here at APH Networks in the past, and I am still using theLeadrwireless mouse as my daily driver more than a year after I have reviewed it. However, after taking off the ROCCAT...

So I have been using the Roccat Renga Boost headset for a while and have found it to be very comfortable, again the double headband design is a favourite of mine so it would take a colossal cock-up for one to fail me.Music PerformanceGrabbing a bunch of...

The Roccat Renga Boost earns points for its low price, comfortable design, and versatility of working with PCs, laptops, consoles, and mobile devices. It's a pretty good gaming headset, but just don't expect the same audio quality with your tunes.

A few years ago, Roccat's headsets were big, clunky and expensive, but more recently, the company has embraced midprice models that have somewhat better sound than you'd expect. That was the case for the $100 Roccat Khan Pro; it's also the case for the...

I have been using the Renga headset for a few weeks now as my daily headset, replacing the HyperX Cloud Revolver. The first thing that I noticed when I put the headset on was just how light it was. It really is a big different from the Cloud Revolver...

On the whole, the Roccat Renga headset is a mixed bag.It is very lightweight which proves useful for extended gaming sessions, and also features open earcups to increase air ventilation during use. However, I still find my ears get toasty after a while...

In the world of audiophile-grade headphones, one of the first buying decisions you'll need to make is between closed back and open back designs. Closed back headphones provide better isolation from the world around you thanks to sealed ear cups, while...

All in all, it seems that ROCCAT have carried forward their previous design with some small improvements, with a much less unsightly black cable now being replacing the previous blue one, and improved sound.The compatibility with several devices...

Roccat manages to pack some refinements into the Renga, even at this low price. The company had to make some compromises, of course, but the comfort and quality of the hardware is admirable, and the audio and mic quality are quite reasonable. This...

The Roccat Renga are one of those great products which does everything well and is better than you might expect given its pricing.It doesn't make for the worlds most interesting conclusion to read. There are no surprise bits of genius, but neither is...
