Customer Review: Nice Job Creative
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those headsets that you hear about then decide, "Hey, I'm gonna buy this cause its a good deal!!" Seeing this headset for 39 dollars really made me buy it. Before I had spent a long time deciding on the brand and what type, then I saw this am impulsively bought it. Afterwards I had second thoughts, but that quickly changed.
Opening the box, the packaging is beautiful as is the headset itself. The color scheme and decoration is wonderful. Of course, I could care less as long as it sounds good. I work a lot with sound... From having a 2000 dollar sound system in my car, to buying a Bose speaker set for my TV. I bought this on a wim, so I didn't think about spending much money. Plugging it in, and pulling the headset on I realized two things. One, the volume control and mic on/off switch was perfectly placed. Its far enough down to be out of the way, but close enough to be in reach all the time. Two, how my ears fit into the muffs. My head and ears are larger then normal so comfort was important. I started off playing various types of music. These headphones really handle well. Unlike other reviews, I have found the volume very adequate. The highs are high, mids are clearly distributed, and the bass low and precise. Playing games was also enjoyable. The headset performed well with explosions and shots going off. I was very impressed by how well it responded overall.
The mic was pretty good as well. Overall, I was impressed. In games, I never had anyone tell me that my mic was fuzzy or distorted. Voice recordings sounded very good as well. I use Skype on occasion, and this is where I found trouble. Some of my voice was distorted when I did test calls. Also, it sounded pretty muddy on the Skype recordings. I am almost positive that this was a Skype config error or a Skype error in entirety. I love the detachable mic boom, because it gave me room to move and if I just want to listen to music it works beautifully.
Comfort is another area. I can't however, speak to much for others because I have a big noggin. Putting on the headset is comfortable and my ears fit well into the muffs. I cannot speak very accurately about comfort over long periods due to my uncommon head size but.... I can say that it does irritate me slightly. It actually feels good to take the headset off every once in awhile to let the ears breath. Although, I have to say while playing I experience no discomfort and actually forget that I'm wearing a headset. Not the most comfortable thing when taken off, but overall not as bad as some.
Overall this headset is worth every penny. It delivers clear sound and mediocre comfort. I mostly bought this headset for sound quality, so, I was very pleased with my order. The microphone is more then fine for me, so all works. I would highly recommend this headset because of the price, quality, and looks. Good work Creative.
Customer Review: Best headphone!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this today at a store not on amazon just because I wanted to have it right then and there. I wanted this headset because my boyfriend has the same one. Which I have tried before and the sound is amazing. We both play games online and you can hear glass shattering and bullets firing, footsteps,etc. As for comfort it's great! It doesn't hurt my ears and I also wear glasses so it doesn't bother me at all. It cups the ears and is tight for better sound quality.I didn't get the one with the USB adapter though. I would rather have the regular plug on it.It comes with a detachable mic for when you just want to listen and not talk on the mic.The mic is also great and you can be heard loud and clear. Creative also made a sound card "Creative Fatality X-Fi" which I was thinking of buying with this headset. But JUST the headset alone IS GREAT!! If you want to get the sound card too it would be twice more instense. As I tried the headset with the sound card at the store you can hear the bullets flying by and bullet shells dropping etc. So I basically can hear eve-ry-thing. But like I said the headset alone is a GREAT BUY!!!!!. I would recommend it to other gamers or anyone that just wants a good headset for a great price.Customer Review: Very Nice Product

These headphones are of excellent quality. Despite some previous reviews, the volume is excellent. There is a built-in volume and mic on/off switch on the cord, which is quite useful.
These headphones do a good job of centering all sound to you, rather than to everyone else in the room. I can listen to loud games, without bothering anyone else nearby.
Although I am not a very big music critic, these headphones don't distort the sound as some other gaming headsets do. The quality is actually quite nice.
The microphone is longer than some others that I have seen, and it is removable. It does exactly what it says, blocks out other sounds (including the sounds of what you are listening to). The cord is also plenty long.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
Customer Review: Great product

I bought this headset for $44 with free shipping from Amazon, and I received the package before the estimated delivery date.
The headset is very comfortable and it works great. I am playing Need For Speed Most Wanted, Doom 3, Prince of Persia 2008, Quake 3, and the performance justifies the price.
Also, to the people who complain about the picture of Fatal1ty on the box, quite honestly, that's a whole lot of nitpicking. I thought the package was very slick (not that it really matters).
Voice chat works great, and I have no complaints about this product. Of course, this is not a high end product, so don't expect too much. Having said that, I love these headphones and I recommend them.
Customer Review: Great Headset!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried a few other headsets and was very disapointed till I bought this headset, it is great. I would recommend this headset to anyone, it's comfortable, great sound quality through headphones and mic. Microphone can be unplugged from headset when not in use so that it is out of way, the in line control for volume and mic is slender and not bulky like alot of other headset's plus it has clip so you can attack it to your shirt.
This is a great buy and well worth the money.
