Inheriting the exterior design of the Wanderer HECATE G4 Phantom Edition, its wireless version of the HECATE G4 S Thunder Edition has finally arrived. There is no doubt that the wireless upgrade has ushered in, and the Bluetooth wireless solution with better multi-platform compatibility is chosen, but in order to cope with the low latency demand in the game, flash Speed wireless transmission technology was introduced for the first time, and switching to this mode can achieve a minimum of 15ms low latency. Much lower than the 60ms, 45ms, low-latency game modes of mainstream esports TWS headsets.
And this flash Speed speed Bluetooth mode, need to be combined with a dedicated adapter to use. Plug-and-play, no manual matching required, as simple and convenient as a 2.4G wireless headset. In this mode, a private bluetooth channel is similarly built, with lower latency and more stable connection. Let's do a simple test to verify it. Using the editing software, select the touch screen point as the beginning, the sound feedback as the end, and switch between different modes for visual comparison.
Test down, the music in the ordinary Bluetooth mode and the game mode, the delay performance is the same (it is only the difference in tuning), the official claim is only 45ms, the same level as the mainstream gaming Bluetooth headset. The ordinary Bluetooth (no low-latency mode) is generally above 100ms, so there is still a difference. When switching to Ultra Bluetooth mode, the delay "visible to the naked eye" is further reduced, closer to the response interval of the external amplifier. Switch from ordinary Bluetooth, the difference perception is still more obvious, and the gunshot should be more followed. In terms of connection stability, the mode switching reconnection speed is still quite fast, and after a few days of use, there has been no drop. Compared with the game-level 2.4G wireless, the partition wall will have a probability of stuttering, and the penetration is weaker than that of the 2.4G solution.
In use, it should be noted that the ordinary Bluetooth mode is not the same as the speed Bluetooth, the former has to be manually matched, and the latter needs to be inserted into the adapter, that is, it must occupy an interface of the device. For mobile terminals, you can also separate a small Type-C adapter, which is also plug and play and smaller. Such a solution in exchange for better multi-platform compatibility than most 2.4G gaming headsets. And the power consumption is lower, the nominal lights off the battery life of 46 hours.
Although it is a 40mm unit with the wired version, the difference between the sound presets is still more obvious. Added two scene modes of music and game, both modes, both of which are more focused on the tuning of the bass atmosphere. Especially in the game mode, the bass will be further enhanced, the overall is very thick and powerful, the sense of blow and roar in the game is stronger, and it is more inclined to the application of the AAA game masterpiece scene.
In terms of appearance, it is completely based on the platform upgrade of the Wanderer HECATE G4 Phantom Edition, except for the addition of functional buttons, the other points are basically the same. Although it is wireless, the weight of the fuselage has not increased much, and it still has a very good lightweight performance of the same level. The size of the headset body is medium, the skeleton strength and toughness are good, the length of the head beam can be manually adjusted, and it is equipped with a pair of round ear cups, which is a frame suitable for medium head users. Lightweight advantage, no obvious indenter and weight bearing, very easy. Of course, if there are movable ear, the fit can be slightly improved. In addition, the wireless did not cut off the lights, its very recognizable and sci-fi sense of the stereoscopic light circle is still in (changed to monochrome), but the lights are fully open, the battery life will drop a lot (turn on the light standard Bluetooth 20 hours, speed Bluetooth 17 hours), fish and bear paws can not be combined belong to yes. The microphone continues the disassembly scheme, with a locking structure, the pickup is still relatively clear, and there is no current noise. In terms of button layout, the volume is commonly used, and the use of the scroll wheel is distinguished from other buttons to facilitate blind exercise, and the above two functional buttons, in fact, there are also differentiation, and the forbidden wheat key will have blind spot assistance, which is very meticulous.
The new Wanderer HECATE G4 S Thunder Edition game headset, the new scene (music, game) sound effect mode, plug and play, novice friendly, the wearing experience and the wired version of the biggest difference is to cut the wire binding. And equipped with a speed Bluetooth mode, compared to the mainstream 2.4G game headset, the latency is not enough for the ultimate wireless game, but in exchange for multi-platform compatibility, better practicality, the focus is different.
