Headset Software:
The software of the Sharkoon RUSH ER40 is quite extensive for a headset in this price range. In the main screen of the software, the volume can be adjusted. This can be arranged for the entire headset or per ear. By right-clicking on the speaker or microphone symbol, you can enter other screens of the software.
The options that can be set via these menus are quite extensive. Various menus are available for the speakers, from an equalizer to a virtual speaker shifter. With this speaker shifter, the direction of sound can be changed manually or automatically. In addition, the software works with Xear surround sound. The available options are the Xear SingFX, with which tones can be changed, and Xear Surround Max. With this function, stereo sound can be turned into surround sound.
Headset Comfort:
The RUSH ER40 is clearly designed to be worn for long periods of time. Even if you work with these headphones on all day, they remain comfortable to wear. The ear pads are large enough to fall completely over the ear. As a result, you will not get pain in your ears after prolonged use. Also, the headphones are not too tight around your head, and you do not get pressure spots in the area of the ear cushions. The size of the headphones is good and stable to adjust with small increments. As a result, a good fit can always be achieved.
Sharkoon Rush ER40 Sound and Recording Quality
The Sharkoon RUSH ER40 has no striking sound quality. However, the sound of these headphones is more than enough for gaming and listening to music while gaming and/or working is certainly doable.
For example, the equalizer can be set as desired. Surround sound can also be turned on with the software provided.
