Sades Drivers Is Straightforward

There are so many options for hardware, software and other accessories that you can build a setup thats completely your own and at whatever price range your budget demands.

With the US48 Ive been saving up for computer accessories, I scoured the Internet for headsets that were well-worth the price tag.

Thats how I stumbled upon the impressive SADES SA-903 gaming headset by Shenzhen Sades Digital Technology Co., Ltd.

It also has a vertically-retractable microphone, and an in-line audio controller included along the headsets black-and-blue braided USB cord.

And for those who want to look good while wearing these, the headset lights up when connected to a computer.

The frame is made out of plastic that is light and acceptably durable, but it feels like it can break easily if not handled with care.

And for flexibility, the headband offers nine levels of height adjustment the smallest of which is still a little too large for my head but should fit on most others (considering how petite of a person I am).

The padding makes the headset incredibly comfortable to wear and causes no pain whatsoever even after hours of gameplay.

Installing the drivers is straightforward: plug the headset in first, run the installation from the CD and simply follow the steps from there.

Thankfully, the installer was in English and so was the software itself which includes inputoutput control, a mixer, equalizer control and a few voice morph settings.

You can hear and feel the rumble of an explosion, and when bullets are fired you can tell from which general direction they are coming from.

The positioning is not completely exact but it does give a better sense of space in-game.

A lot of the vocals in my music became overpowered by bassy instruments.

For the price, the sound is great for gaming but if you want something thats both good for games and a variety of music, itd be better to look for headphones elsewhere as the SA-903 is only particularly good for bass-heavy tracks.

But if youre not too picky about having better instrumental and vocal details in music, and are content in hearing strong beats, this should not be a problem.

The quality is as close as you can get to an expensive audio interface plus microphone setup at at least a quarter of the price.

The volume is a little soft, so youll need to speak up a bit because the microphone cant be pushed towards your mouth.

But this isnt too big of an issue since the volume level is enough to be heard and it doesnt pick up too much background noise in a fairly quiet environment.

Although microphone boost is available in the SADES software, I wouldnt recommend using it because the noise does get louder and as a result.

Ive uploaded a microphone test video on YouTube if youre interested in hearing what it sounds like).

At such an affordable price, flaws are inevitable but while the SA-903 isnt perfect, it certainly had far fewer problems than I would expect from one of the cheaper headsets available in the market.

That said, SADES should be a brand everyone should be looking out for.

Decent headphones for us console gamers usually arent this cheap.

Ill be sure to remember them if I make the PC jump this year.
