2. Ozma 7... Yeah, We Don't Know What It Means Either, Continued

As we've noted, the headphones look neither chunky nor large. Indeed, they provide a very nice and snug fit on the head. This is an integral part of the sound quality experience that we will address later.

The Ozma 7 does have two very glaring omissions from its inventory: a microphone, and a control unit on the audio cable. The lack of a control unit is somewhat excusable, although we do greatly miss the ability to control volume levels at will. Without a control unit we're not as inclined to wear the Ozma 7 on a daily basis.

The lack of a built-in microphone, on the other hand, is a near-fatal omission for gamers or office workers who regularly use Internet telephony. Being the company behind some of the most advanced gaming machines, we were quite surprised that a pair of headphones sporting the Alienware logo would omit something so vital to all modern gamers.

The ability to speak to team-mates is so crucial to online videogames that most modern online games come with communications software built-in. But with no microphone included on the Ozma 7, you'll either need a clunky separate microphone set up on your desk, or you'll have to swap out for a different pair of headphones when it comes time to play online.

In the age of Internet telephony, the lack of a microphone can be crippling for even the casual office worker. Here at TG Publishing, we use Skype for most of our internal communications. While reviewing the Ozma 7, we had to either turn away calls, or frantically go scrambling for a microphone-equipped set of headphones when a call was important.
