No matter how good the peripherals are, they can't save the scum technology, but good peripherals can definitely add to the game experience. Recently, Small M began to indulge in PC games, although the configuration of the PC is not bad, but playing games with the stereo is still very hurtful, especially when playing FPS games, even the most basic 'listening to the position' can not be done, simply not too chicken ribs. So the purchase of a headset was put on the agenda, because the budget was not very much, after several rounds of comparison, finally chose the short-term listing: HECATE Wanderer e-sports G4 S Thunder Edition.
The reason for choosing the HECATE Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition, in addition to the fact that this headset is affordable and on budget, has the following important reasons:
HECATE Wanderer is a professional esports audio peripheral brand owned by Wanderer, so it is relatively able to provide more professional and high-quality audio peripherals;
Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition is the industry's first dual-mode ultra-fast Bluetooth wireless headset, with low power consumption, 15ms ultra-low latency, long standby time, no wiring harness binding, more freedom of use;

The headset has strong compatibility, not only can be used with the PC, but also can be connected with mobile phones, iPads, switches, PS5 and other devices, with rich use scenarios;
So, what about this headset? Is it real? Or is it a waste of time? Or follow the little M to see this review!
The outer packaging of the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition adopts a classic black background, and the front C position of the package is a product diagram of the headset, and the overall design can give people a mysterious and sci-fi feeling visually. The upper left corner of the package is printed with the "HECATE" LOGO, the logo in the upper right corner indicates that this headset supports Bluetooth connection, and the bottom left and right sides of the headset are the models and selling points of this headset, through the information on the front of the package we can understand that this headset has ultra-low latency, and supports dual-mode Bluetooth - standard Bluetooth 5.2 and private domain speed Bluetooth.
On the other hand, the back design of the package is obviously much more complicated than the front, because the back is the detailed selling point of this headset, through the information on the back we can understand the characteristics of this headset in more detail, and the selling point information is still marked in Chinese and English, the overall design is very thoughtful, taking care of overseas friends, but also so that people who do not know English can also understand.
The above is a family portrait of the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition, which has: headset body, detachable microphone, charging cable, multi-function adapter, instruction manual and warranty card.
In terms of the shape of the headset, the design of the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition is more decent, still using the classic Ω design, and the color of the whole machine is classic black, low-key and unobtrusive. In addition, the ear cups on both sides of the headset are designed to be unusually rounded, looking very beautiful and personalized, but also have a strong recognition. Little M personally is still very satisfied with the design of this headset, because the design of the ear cups is more unique, so this headset has a stronger three-dimensional feeling after wearing.
The reason why the G4 S Thunder Edition of the Rambler has a distinctive ear cup is mainly because the Wanderer has made a special design on the outermost side of the ear cups. The outside of the earcups are covered by a layer of high-permeable acrylic glass, with black stripes embedded inside and an "H" in the middle, a design that should be derived from the initials of "HECATE". After the headset is turned on, the two sides of the ear cups will emit a faint red light, festive and open, but also give people a sense of excitement and pleasure, the overall design is very clever.
The headset's switch button is designed on the right earcup, and there are also closed microphone buttons and volume adjustment wave wheels on the ear cups, and the volume adjustment wave wheel is usually adjusted by directly dialing the wave wheel. In order to let the user more clearly understand the status of the headset, the pinhole Bluetooth indicator and the closed microphone indicator are designed twice on and off the left and right buttons of the switch. At the bottom of the volume wave wheel, there is the charging interface of the headset, and the interface adopts the mainstream type-C design, which means that we can usually use the charging cable of the mobile phone to charge it.
The ear cups on the left are relatively simple, in addition to an interface that can be plugged into the microphone, there is also a button to switch Bluetooth mode. The inside of the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition is made of skin-friendly imitation leather material, and the interior is equipped with memory foam, which is very comfortable to wear on the ear, even if it is worn for a long time.
In order to make it easier for users to wear, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition adopts a lightweight design, the weight of the whole machine is 270g, even if it is worn for a long time, there is no pressure. At the same time, the head beam and swing arm material of this headset are very solid, and the adjustable angle of the headset size is also very rich, whether it is a large head or a small head, this headset can be perfectly adapted.
For e-sports headsets, it must have the attribute of low latency, after all, in the face of a game where every second counts, only sound, control, and touch are the peak. Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition has built-in standard Bluetooth 5.2, and the delay in game mode is as low as 45ms, which can basically meet the needs of ordinary players.
In addition to the standard Bluetooth mode, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition is also equipped with [Private Domain Speed Bluetooth Mode], self-developed "Flash Speed" flash wireless audio transmission technology, set standard Bluetooth / private Domain Bluetooth in one, if you feel that the low latency of 45ms is still not enough, we can insert a multi-function adapter, open the private domain Speed Bluetooth mode, the delay in this mode is only 15ms, even 20 times faster than the blink of an eye, to ensure that users lose the game, do not lose the experience.
Usually when playing games, you must use the speed Bluetooth mode, because the 15ms speed of speed Bluetooth is ultra-low latency, and the game is more refreshing. The opening method of the ultra-fast Bluetooth mode is also very simple, just plug the multi-function adapter into the PC or mobile phone, and then press the Bluetooth switch button on the left side of the earcup, at this time, there will be a voice prompt inside the headset 'Ultra Bluetooth mode', and the headset will automatically switch to the ultra-fast Bluetooth mode. Here we must mention the multi-function adapter, which is a detachable adapter, after the tail is unplugged, a type-C adapter will appear, the phone turns on the 'ultra-fast Bluetooth mode', just need to plug it into the phone. And through this multi-function adapter, smart devices or game devices that support type-C and USB-A interfaces can be compatible, and it can be said that a pair of headphones can get most of the game use scenarios.
Of course, for products such as headsets, even if the appearance and transmission capacity are strong, it is not as important as sound quality. The Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition has a built-in 40mm NdFeB unit, which has the advantages of a powerful soundstage and a realistic and full sound quality, so the performance in terms of sound quality is quite good. In addition, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition also has a special H+ game sound effect blessing, and through the Wanderer Acoustics Laboratory X PixArt mobile game chip research institute joint special tuning, effectively strengthen the low-frequency footsteps, optimize the high-frequency gunfire sound and other game sound effects, really let the player feel what is called like a tiger.
Through the actual use experience, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition does have extraordinary strength. When playing music, there is basically no sign of confusion between the middle and high notes, the treble has a strong penetrating force and is crisp and pleasant, and the midrange is also very good, full and thick and not messy. However, the strength of this headset is still in the game, with the headset can hear the sound of gunshots, cars, footsteps very clearly, the most important thing is that this headset in the speed bluetooth mode 15ms of the speed of the ultra-late delay is really low, the delay is basically negligible, can be completely comparable to the wired headset.
It is worth mentioning, as mentioned earlier, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition supports mobile phones, iPads, switches, PS5 and other devices, I believe that many people are more concerned about this headset in the adaptation problem, in fact, this worry is superfluous, the Wanderer G4 S Thunder Edition can be perfectly adapted to various devices, and this headset also provides a type-C adapter, the adapter is plugged into the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can also enjoy the low-latency bluetooth mode.
