Takstar headphones... a new religion...
« on: December 21, 2000, 03:21:00 PM »
Well yesterday I got my new Force Feedback Takstar headphones.  I was totally blown away by the absolute immersion they give you, the FFB feature is more of a base/strike/shock emulator, its hard to describe but when in my 51 the throbbing and humming of the engine really emerses you in the whole flight experence, it doesent feel like the headphones are shaking, it feels like your whole body is being rumbled about. this is the most amazing thing i have ever experenced in the sound arena of gameing.  I used to have a $1000 Bose acoustic waveform system that i used both on my comp and tv but now i only use it on the TV because it doesent come close to the level of...depth these $40 headphones gives me, plus the neighbors are no longer woken up at 3am by same kinda hellish Rogue Spear frag fest.  I cannot describe how these thing feel its one of them gotta be there things but this is the best $40 I have EVER spent!  If your in the market for new speakers or sound upgrade of any kind, you should seriously give these puppies a look.

Thanks for the link,

The web site says that the phones work off of the games force feedback output.  I thought that aces high did not support force feedback, or has that changed?

They can use force feedback for games aswell, but also the have a ffb circut for the BASS as in that rumbleing of the engine translates to rumbleing of yer head.  I love them, i dont even have normal spearkers or my bose hooked up anymore, they are all i want or need.
prz, are you referring to Roger Wilco?
i use it with the phones and a mic and it works just fine...if thats not what ya mean please elab.

Looks like there's no microphone on the headset.

nope, but if you have a normal little mic like me all ya got to do is get an arm for it and mod it a bit and ya can attach it to the side where it swings down like a normal one, not a big problem, I used a coathangar and some electrical tape and some superglue and it looks quite nice.  I took extra time to make it look all nice, if my gf EVER gives my digi camera back ill post a pic of what i did.
