With our brand new Syn Max Air now out in the wild, consumers and reviewers have been putting our wireless headset to the test. As far as gaming headsets are concerned, this one is one of our best and the second in our new Syn Air range.
ROCCAT’s Syn Max Air is for PC gamers who want it all – comfort, performance, and style. The Syn Max Air features a lightweight design, cooling gel-infused memory foam cushions, and comes with a rapid charge docking station. Stellar Wireless technology and Bluetooth provide all the connectivity, and large 50mm Nanoclear™ speakers deliver immersive 3D audio.
So what do the reviews say about our small but mighty friend? Here's a round-up of the reviews for the Syn Max Air.
Syn Max Air Review Round-Up
Saving Content - 5/5
Saving Content have given the Syn Max Air a perfect score, awarding it a 5/5.
"I think it’s finally happened, I’m in love with a headset that doesn’t have me tethered to a mix amp or wires, and ROCCAT makes a very compelling argument with the Syn Max Air. It’s a powerful headset where the audio is the forefront of what it does best, providing an excellent soundscape in addition to long-lasting comfort."

techradar - 4/5
Tech review giant techradar have given the headset a solid score for its balanced sound, comfortable fit and the addition of the charging dock.
"So, naturally, you’re getting a good soundstage with good sound imaging. Testing this on games and movies, we felt a lot of the characters' movements and the individual elements. At the same time, because of the way the ear cups are designed with thick ear foams, the drivers are a little deeper in and farther from your ears, providing a performance more akin to a massive hall or theater experience instead of an intimate venue. This is a plus when you’re playing a game and want the feel of being in it. The Superhuman Hearing boost in-app also enhances critical sounds in your game."

Popzara
Popzara enjoyed the Syn Max Air so much it awarded it an Editor's Choice accolade, most notably for its surprising sound quality.
"I was even able to hear low sounds I couldn’t previously pick up on some of my other headsets in games such as Destiny 2 and Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, and even previously sounds and instruments in some of my favorite music playlists. I also love how there’s four preset EQ options to cycle through that will fit whatever you’re listening to."

Gaming Trend - 8/10
Gaming Trend compliments its purr, that being the superb sound quality that has only grown on them with time.
"Back to the audio, this headset features super crisp sound that certainly measures up to its peers and the Turtle Beach name. You may have seen our review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and if it’s not obvious by now, I play a lot of it. With the new Modern Warfare II still having pretty loud footstep audio, I was at an advantage constantly, especially when the Swarm software has a Footsteps Boost option for the Superhuman Hearing provided. The spatial 3D audio is on point, giving you a crystal clear experience.
This was the case whatever platform I moved to, and with different games in play, such as Gotham Knights where I could hear the bad guys approaching from behind when engaging multiple in a fight. You know that I had to also give some time over to music, and the Syn Max Air gets two thumbs up from me in that category, with the 50mm drivers putting in work with some nice bass. If there’s a selling point for this headset (and really any headset), incredible sound is probably the best one to have."

GStyle - 8/10
GStyle found that the Syn Max Air was big competition for even their favourite headset...
"I found myself swapping between my Astro A30 for SYN Max Air often which says a lot about this product. I can’t deny the quality this brings, and it gives me great assurance that Roccat knows exactly what the players need, and I will urge all to keep an eye out for them."
