and obviously the instruction booklet. There is no CD for the dedicated TAC (Teufel Audio Center) software, which you will find on the website of the official support, with relative instructions for use.
Obviously the installation of the TAC is not mandatory, but the available options are many and of extraordinary utility, albeit useful only with the USB connection, and not with the 3.5mm jack, for obvious reasons. Certainly on a mobile the Teufel CAGE do not give their best, but also why should they? Being a very professional instrument they are designed for a work environment and certainly not for temporary entertainment, although they are PERFECT for Hi-Fi listening, but certainly not on mobile phones.
They are clearly compatible with any device, including the supplied microphone, which is not only removable, but also allows you to listen with headphones, thanks to the dedicated sound card installed in them, and which also allows a Magic Voice function, that is the ability to manipulate your voice to make it unrecognizable or just to joke in chat with friends, but more utilitarianly to disguise the voice in podcasts.
The quality of the microphone is simply crystal clear, and has some possible customizations in the TAC, which can boost any recordings on OBS or in general streaming, but also for simple conference calls. It is also possible to activate the exclusion of ambient noise with a simple click, and I swear to you it is the only perfectly functional one I have ever tried, even in the midst of confusion it seems that you are the only one talking, and without any background rustle. Simply EXCEPTIONAL.
Now let’s move on to the listening experience, the one that shocked me in a thousand and one ways. The Teufel CAGE in the TAC have a customizable equalizer that can be saved in memory, but it does not end there, on the side of the right earphone there is in fact a programmable key from the TAC, for two different types of equalizations, and always from the TAC the possibility of simulating a Surround listening room of various sizes, simulating 360-degree spatial audio.
The difference in settings is incredible, the difference in styles is palpable, and in some cases even frightening, since the pavilions completely isolate you from external noise, so the virtualization of the listening space is incredibly realistic, and gives you the impression of being in real spaces with corresponding acoustics. There is also the possibility of leaving the processor the ability to normalize the audio independently, which it performs in a more than excellent way.
The only very small defect of the Teufel CAGE, is in my opinion a compatibility not yet 100% with Windows 11, in fact a defect has occurred sporadically, and that is sometimes detaching and reattaching the Teufel CAGE with the USB, confuses Windows and sometimes it may not recognize them on the fly, especially if there are open applications or browsers. Clearly Windows 11 just came out and these things can happen until the drivers are updated, so nothing serious.
On consoles it is not possible to exploit them to 100%, but they still remain of an incredible power and reliability, the same goes for the quality of the sound and the microphone.
You can find the Teufel CAGE on the official online shop at a price of € 169.99, moreover currently you can find them discounted by € 30, so you can buy them for € 139.99.
