Customer Review: Great quality, great price, great comfort
Summary: 5 Stars

I've wanted a good headset for a while now, my cheap less-than-$10 ones kept breaking, had bad quality etc.
When I saw this deal I thought to myself - "Hey, that's a great price. I know Creative do great sound products, and it seems comfortable enough."
So I went ahead and ordered one, and when I got it I was not disappointed!

It was packaged well, so it wasn't damaged in any way by the mail. Also, after sizing it up a bit, I found it to be extremely comfortable. You just put it around your ear in a certain manner and it's very good.
The plush ear-pads and headband velvet are very comfortable, and the headset itself is lightweight. This makes you forget about it being around your head from time to time.
The only noticeable thing is that after a few hours (four or more) your ears get slightly warm from being enclosed in the earpads. That would be a good time to take a break for a few minutes, and you'd be as good as new.

The sound quality itself is by far the best I've heard for this kind of price. Some of my friends have headsets around this price and it's no-where near as good. The bass is VERY good, and it does a good job at differentiating sounds. So you can hear more instruments and at better quality.

You can see they've done some thinking about design. Just little things around the headset. For example, the robustness of the headband. I've tried my best to keep it out of harm's way, but if it does occasionally drop down from my computer desk because I tripped or for whatever reason, I'm always confident that it's whole and in good order.
Another thing is the detachable mic. First of all, it's got great sound quality. Secondly, it's detachable! I tend to like this option a lot. If you're not talking with friends and just want to settle down and watch a TV episode or a film, you simply plug it out and put it aside.
There is also a nice clip on your volume adjuster so you can clip it to your shirt to avoid the wire getting tangled up in your computer chair, and you can turn the microphone on and off from your volume adjuster.
You can also rotate the earpads slightly backwards or forwards if it's not sitting on your ear just right.
Also, you get a cool leather carrying bag with a special pocket for the detachable microphone.

Conclusion:
This is a great piece of headset for any price range, and it's a great deal. All sorts of little traits on it make it all the better compared to other headsets.
My only advice is that you don't try to fiddle with it. As in, don't start testing how robust it is or how far the earpads will rotate, because you'll just break something eventually. Clean it up a bit every once in a while (velvet tends to attract a few hairs from your head or your dog, if you have one), don't fiddle and you'd be happy with this buy.

Final advice - get one of Creative's cheap SoundBlaster sound cards with this, it just makes it worthwhile. It will be an upgrade from built-in audio either way, but with a Sound Blaster Audigy Value or the likes, it won't cost you that much to get even more sound quality.
