Creative Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Wireless Headset

Hi everyoneWhen i first saw this at the blizzard store i wanted to buy it immediately, but they don't sell it anymore, then i got here and start searching, like with all my other electronic devices i like to read the comments and reviews to see if there is any problems with the product, or any usage problems that can occur, this item have quite some bad reviews, and when i start to see what people was saying about it, and what the good reviews said, about those other reviews i was kind of confuse on what to think about the headset, i almost give up on getting one and start looking for another.Well the thing is that knowing how careful people can be with their stuff, and how well people use them, i though well this people are just been too harsh on the product, and the stuff they complain can easily be fix or overcome, guess what, i was right, people who complain about the mic don't know how to configure it right, or have some other problems somewhere, i guess i got the lucky one from the lot cause mine work perfect since i got it out of the box, i just have to adjust the volume level cause yes, the micro is sensitive, but if you put it about 18% like it said on the creative page, guess what it work just fine, and micro sound quality is very good, no complains from any friends or guild mates, used ventrilo, and didn't have to change any settings, the sound of the headset is really good, i mean, is a headset, not a 5.1 surround hd system, and with the settings of the software that comes with it, the sound improve even more, love the glowing lights and how you can customize them, although i have them mostly off to save some batteries, ohh the batteries, they are great, i charge them and forget i was wearing the headset, i start to use it at 7am, and at 7pm they discharge,so that's like 10 hours, they say it last 9 so..., well guess it kinds of goes that long without the lights, they are comfortable, but whatever you were in your head for more than 2-3 hours is going to start to bother you at some degree, so i just take them off for a couple of minutes and that does the trick.About the material and how breakable it is, well i was well aware of this before i bought it, so i was prepare for it to break if i look at it from the reviews here, well i don't have a big head like most of the persons that broke it, so i don't have to be adjusting the headset, the material that show when you pull it to make it longer it does seem delicate, but nothing that been careful don't resolved, it is plastic after all, and is not a toy, so the careful part should go without saying, guess some people complains about this because of the price they were expecting something else or something like that, cant really tell, but for me its just fine, works like a charm, i play wow so for me it looks great, although you do look like you are either flying a yet plain, or doing the traffic at the control tower, but hey it is not a fashion accessories, and it does it works great.about the wireless, well it works really good, my house is made on concrete so it doesn't go that far, but i get to go to the bathroom and still hear it, if you are near you pc and by near i mean on the same room, you shouldn't have any problems with it, i also have a wire less keyboard, and a wireless mouse, and a wireless router in my room all very close to each other,like within 2-3 feet range or so, so with the headset it would be 4 devices that work with different transmitters/receivers cause is not a mouse/keyboard combo, they are separate, the headset works just fine, i did notice my mouse was not responding right, it was acting like it had low batteries, change them did solved the problem so i check the wireless receiver, since i had the headset receiver and the mouse receiver one next to the other i guess that was the problem cause i moved the mouse receiver to the ports in front of my pc the problem went away, and everything works just fine now, also there is a thing call wireless channel if you have problems after doing something like i did you can try change it on the other devices, don't know if you can do it in the headset.The buttons are OK, but i hope they would be on the side instate of the bottom part.I'm quite happy with mine, for me it worth its price, and i'm also glad i didn't pay attention to the bad reviews, i give it a shot to judge for myself and the results were great, hope this help you decide when your shopping for this headsets

First off I used to play with a logitech headset for raids and had major ear pain after the first 6 hours or so. I wanted full over-the-ear headsets and saw these so I went for it. The major selling point to me was not the color changing earpieces, it was the comfort and light weight. The voice changing ability is really good and pretty fun.Comfort (+)/(-)This is both a pos and a neg to me. The headset is super comfortable and does not press on my ears too hard, so it makes wearing them for long periods effortless. Where the neg comes in is the cord itself. Due to me losing communications during some epic 12 hour raid, I felt the need to purchase the corded version of the headset. I did not want it to fail when we were fighting some boss so I opted for a failsafe version. Bad idea, the cord is thick and covered with a mesh, cool looking but remains kind of stiff all the time. 2nd one is by far the worst. The cord connects to the headset's LEFT side. All of the controls are on the left side, and the mic is on the left side. I am right handed as I assume almost 90% of the population is. Which makes this really difficult to have all of my USB being on the right side of my computer and the cord being on the left. My only suggestion is to replace the cord with a light weight miniUSB cord and it would be much easier to turn your head.Sound (+)The sound is fantastic. Both WOW, DA:O and other games sound wonderful. The bass is deep and the highs are nice and crisp. The ear pieces do a great job of muting all outside noise and this means you can enjoy it without cranking up the sound too much. Music is also really good in these.Setup (+)Its very easy to set up on both PC and Mac. I tried both and each one is cake to do. You can change the color of the ear pieces, adjust the EQ, set up keybindings and more in the included software.Fun (+)When raiding it is fun to do voice changing antics. Especially after a wipe or when someone has to bio for 10 mins. Its great to have something to goof off with during those downtimes. The voice changer really does change your voice, not only in pitch but also moderation and speed. The result is several voices can sound like someone else and not sound comical. A few are downright silly, but there are ones that enable you to sound like a completely different person. Use at your own risk :).Integration with voice servers (-)Quite often I would break up on voice while using this with Vent. This happend on a few servers so I cannot blame one type vs another for the breakup and when I switched back to my old headset it went away. I think it might be the software layer between the headset and vent. I was unable to replicate it but it was intermittent at best.Price (+)/(-)I think the corded version is the price the wireless version should be and the corded one should be less. It is a great headset without all the fun features, but not a stellar set that requires the premium tag IMHO.Overall synopsis:If you did not have a headset and needed one to pick up this would be a fine set to get. If you like gadgets and other fun features get this set but get the wireless version. It is very good quality and I have no complaints after 2 months of owning it.Thank you for reading my review.
