Can you hear the difference That's the million dollar question when it comes to this new model in Roccat's RGB-lit range. Boasting 7.1 high-resolution audio support, it can articulate surround sound and sparkling lossless audio at the same time.

When it comes to gaming peripherals, Roccat isn't really a name that I've heard too much of out in the wild. I mean I know of them and have been using many of their accessories for years now, but I still have a lot of friends out there who have never heard of them.

The Khan Aimo is the final piece of Roccat's smart RGB peripheral puzzle – or at least it is so far, anyway. Like their Horde Aimo keyboard and Kone Aimo mouse before it, the Khan Aimo uses Roccat's intelligent RGB system to create a synchronised light show that adapts to the way you work and play,...

Roccat's Khan Aimo headset boasts High-Res audio support and 7.1 surround sound alongside a built-in DAC/AMP combo for £110. The Khan also supports LED synchronisation with other Roccat peripherals which includes the new Aimo intelligent lighting.

Today we're looking at the Roccat Khan Aimo, a gaming headset that boasts simulated 7.1 surround sound, high-res audio support and full RGB lighting. It's also the third piece of the Aimo RGB trifecta , the natural counterpart to the Horde Aimo keyboard and Kone Aimo mouse.

These replace the Roccat Kave 7.1 headphones that I purchased over half a decade ago. There is no array of multicoloured aux cables with the Kahn AIMO, these connect by USB to provide 7.1 sound, albeit virtually.
