Overall, the SADES SA-903 Stereo 7.1 Sound Effect USB Gaming Headset is a superb choice for those on a budget. (I’ve uploaded a microphone test video on YouTube if you’re interested in hearing what it sounds like). Although microphone boost is available in the SADES software, I wouldn’t recommend using it because the noise does get louder and as a result. But this isn’t too big of an issue since the volume level is enough to be heard and it doesn’t pick up too much background noise in a fairly quiet environment. The volume is a little soft, so you’ll need to speak up a bit because the microphone can’t be pushed towards your mouth.

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 microphone is surprisingly very clear. If you you’re on a budget and need a good microphone paired with a decent pair of headphones though, the SADES SA-903 should is a strong competitor to other headsets out there. Specifications and product description included. But if you’re 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. For the price, the sound is great for gaming but if you want something that’s both good for games and a variety of music, it’d be better to look for headphones elsewhere as the SA-903 is only particularly good for bass-heavy tracks.
Fixing the equalizer settings couldn’t do much either. A lot of the vocals in my music became overpowered by bassy instruments. The positioning is not completely exact but it does give a better sense of space in-game.įor music, however, if you’re looking for overall clarity in what you hear, the SA-903 is not for you. 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 strong bass and low-mids paired with the virtual surround sound are perfect for gaming.
#SADES 7.1 INSTALLATION SOFTWARE#
Thankfully, the installer was in English and so was the software itself - which includes input/output control, a mixer, equalizer control and a few voice morph settings.Īs far as sound goes, after testing the headset for almost a week, I’ve got to say that I’m dazzled by how great the sound is considering the price-tag.
#SADES 7.1 INSTALLATION DRIVERS#
Unfortunately, the instruction manual provided only comes in Chinese with several pictures for demonstration, but after searching online, I found an English version on the SADES website (Click “Operation manual of gaming headset” on the left side). Installing the drivers is straightforward: plug the headset in first, run the installation from the CD and simply follow the steps from there. And for those who want to look good while wearing these, the headset lights up when connected to a computer. It also has a vertically-retractable microphone, and an in-line audio controller included along the headset’s black-and-blue braided USB cord. Priced at US$41-45 (shipping included), the SADES SA-903 houses its own dedicated external sound card and provides sound drivers, to give users a powerful virtual 7.1 surround sound through the headset’s stereo speakers, enabling wearers to hear the action from all directions. That’s how I stumbled upon the impressive SADES SA-903 gaming headset by Shenzhen Sades Digital Technology Co., Ltd. With the US$48 I’ve been saving up for computer accessories, I scoured the Internet for headsets that were well-worth the price tag. While playing Titanfall with a friend last week, I finally decided it was time for me to get a gaming headset because first of all, my friend was complaining about the background noise from my desktop mic, and secondly, the headphones I was using was more suited to music-listening rather than gaming.
