Customer Review: Great sound, crap mic.
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, let me first start off by saying this headset was great at first. This is about 3 - 4 months in, and the microphone stopped working already. Also while talking on vent, the mic and sound would start freaking out, and making others and myself sound demonic. While it may be funny sounding to them, and everyone laughed. It was a pain in the ass to have to unplug the headphones constantly and plug them back in. Then restart the programs that wouldnt automatically adjust back. I would recommend getting a nice pair of headphones seperately, and a mic seperately.
A plus to them, they were very comfy.

This USB gaming headset is the best I have ever tried. Installation was fast. Instructions were somewhat vague regarding installation-required software, but still very easy. Sound quality is amazing. Controls are very easy and responsive. The microphone works fantastic- no fading or echo whe speaking.And I especially like the longer cord.Customer Review: Dont buy it from this seller.

I've been buying gaming headsets for over 12 years and these are by far my favorite. The light weight build makes it easy to wear them for long periods of time. The sound quality is on par with much more expensive headsets. They are durable and comfortable. Great product!Customer Review: Distorted Audio in WoW
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought I was going to really like these headphones. The Microphone was responsive and clear when using Ventrillo. The sound from the headphones also sounded exceptional. One huge problem though, I bought this headset to use while playing World of Warcraft. The first time I used this headset while playing WoW the sound and mic worked brilliantly. Then after a couple of hours into it, the audio became all distorted and jarbled. I was in 25 man Naxxramas and this was a huge issue, I tried unplugging the headphones to get audio but unplugging the headphones, just caused no audio to play at all through my normal speakers. I had to restart the game to get the audio back. I read several posts that there was a possible bug while using ventrillo and playing WoW but Creative's latest drivers and firmware was supposed to fix the issue. Well I already had the latest drivers and firmware installed. I thought maybe it was just a fluke. The next day I played without using Ventrillo and sure enough, after a couple hours of playing, I again got distorted audio. I emailed Creative's customer support and they told me to download and install the latest version of ALchemy. Well guess what, I already had it installed. I thought that if I unistalled all the software and drivers and reinstall my problem would be solved. That didn't work either, the next day, after a couple of hours of playing, I got the distorted audio again. I tried all the tips on the WoW forums and nothing seemed to fix the problem. I decided that I would stop using the headphones after that point. So after I uninstalled all the Creative software, guess what? No sound at all when playing Wow from my computer speakers. The Creative software had somehow corrupted the sound from World of Warcraft. I was about to pull out all of my hair. I tried the Blizzard repair tool and that didn't work. After messing around with the registry and trying various other things to get the sound to work, nothing did it, the sound was broke in WoW but all the other audio would play from my computer. My only other option was to do a clean install of Windows. Sigh...that fixed the problem. Luckily for me, Amazon has a great return policy and I have already been refunded my money. I am now anxiously waiting for the Logitech G35 surround sound headset to come out.
