For those few people who just don't “feel” the bass normally

We've seen our share of unusual products, even wrote about many of them, and Rosewill's new invention definitely fits in the “weird” category. At least we think so.

The company's new headset, called RHTS-8206, moves. That's right, depending on the music and game sounds being produced, it will vibrate.

The purpose of the vibrating feature is to enhance immersion, but we can't help but feel that having those cups on your ears start trembling can have different effects.

Then again, one might say that all products do different things for different people, so this isn't such a big deal.

Spec-wise, the Rosewill RHTS-8206 generates virtual 7.1 surround sound from its large, 40 mm Nd-Fe-B magnetic drivers.

Highs should be played free of distortions, vocals will ring loud and clear and bass will feel deeper than it would otherwise. At least, this is what the company's press release claims.

Anyway, the CM6206-LX chipset runs everything and the frequency response is of 0 Hz-20 KHz for the front and center headphone drivers, 20 Hz-20 KHz for the rear driver and 30 Hz- 15 KHz for the subwoofer.

In that same order, the headphone input impedance is of 64O ±15%, 32O±15%, 32O±10% and 8O±15%, and 8O±15%, respectively. Similarly, headphone sensitivity is of 88dB±3dB, 88dB±3dB, 117dB±3dB and 89dB±3dB.

The feature list goes on with circumaural ear coupling, an USB cable 6.6-feet in length (2 meters), a weight of 0.99 lbs (0.44 kilos), microphone impedance of 2.2 KO, microphone frequency response of 30 Hz-16 KHz and microphone sensitivity of -56dB±2dB.

Finally, the ear cups have soft cushions and can fold flat, at 90 degrees, for easy transportation. The price is of $60, apparently. That's 46.34 Euro, according to exchange rates, but if Rosewill does send the RHTS-8206 to Europe, the tag will probably be closer to 55-60 Euro.
