Alienware has officially entered into the world of high end gaming headphones with the release of the Ozma 7. But are they worth the $199 price tag?
Reviews:
DenGuru: “For audio fanatics, the Ozma 7 might be worth a look. Everyone else, including high-end gamers, will probably miss the microphone a great deal. The lack of a control unit we can live with, but without a microphone the appeal of the Ozma 7 will be limited to a far more select group of listeners.”
Maximum PC: (9 out of 10) “S-Logic did amazing things for Eddie Kramer’s brilliant engineering work on Jimi Hendrix’s Axis: Bold as Love. With conventional headphones, stereo pans seem to go through your head; with the Ozma 7 phones, Jimi’s guitar sounds like its orbiting the interior of your skull.”
PC Gamer: “The set’s sound quality is stellar — crisp and sharp as a Ginsu knife.”
Bottom Line: The sound quality may be “stellar” but as far as I’m concerned, a gaming headset that doesn’t have a microphone should never be plugged into a computer - especially when it costs $199. However, if you are concerned more with sound quality than you are with online gaming, the Ozma 7 may be for you.

Features:
Advanced S-Logic™ Surround Sound Technology
S-Logic™ prevents sound from becoming locked in and makes it seem broad and detached. Directions and distances can be heard and perceived - just like being in a live concert.
Safer Hearing
The Ozma 7 headphones are easy on the ears: The S-Logic™ Natural Surround Sound System allows an up to 40% lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation, thereby reducing the risk of hearing loss.
Reduced Magnetic Field Emissions
The Ozma 7 Headphones have strongly reduced radiation. With LE (Low Emission), these headphones offer a 60% reduction in comparison with ordinary headphones. They are certified and recommended by Technical Surveillance Organizations and Consumer Advice Centers with certified low magnetic field emissions.
Character
These superior headphones are developed from the studio sector and are distinguished by a frequency response especially tuned for DVD. Movie and music enthusiasts are overwhelmed by extraordinary sound that makes it seem as though you are listening to speakers meters away from your head. Demanding PC gamers also appreciate the Ozma 7 Headphones because of the impressive three-dimensional sound effects.
