 Nice Job Creative March 9, 2008

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.
Very Nice Product February 5, 2008

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.

This thing is great, very comfortable and convenient. Sound quality is awesome. My only concerns may be the durability of the detachable mic, the arm is flexible and may wear out. Also, for a small woman, the headset is really large, not just in bulk but in fit, I have to readjust frequently. However, overall the product is great and the storage case is a plus. I would highly recommend for any gamer.
Love This Headset! March 26, 2008

I bought this headset and instantly I loved it. They are great for gaming and listening to music. The 1st thing I noticed when I bought this headset was the velvet padded earphones, they are very comfortable even when wearing them for long periods at a time. They have excellent bass response and all my music and games sound great. As for the microphone it is very clear. Also, I really like the detachable microphone so I can use them for music. Anyways this is great deal and all around good headset. If you are looking to spend less then 50 go for these.
Best headset for the money March 26, 2008
Bought this headset on Amazon with 2 day free shipping(yes, it actually arrived in 2 days-thanks Amazon). Very comfortable, removable microphone, gold plated connectors, good build quality. Sounds amazing for the price, much better than my previously owned Altec Lansing 615. I use this headset for everything-music, movies etc. Overall this is an outstanding product. And not just for the games!

The Nintendo Wii goes on sale on Sunday, November 19. Thanks to the inclusion of the simple--but infectiously fun--Wii Sports game, the Wii is the first console in recent memory that lets you have fun straight out of the box. Still, there are a few key Wii accessories you'll want to pick up to maximize your Wii experience--especially if you're buying it as a gift.
Extra controllers: Like all recent consoles, the Wii ships with just a single controller (well, one two-part controller: one Wiimote, plus one nunchuk). But the real fun of the system is playing the head-to-head Wii Sports games such as tennis and boxing. To do so, you'll need at least one extra set of controllers--and again, that's one Wiimote ($28.99) plus one nunchuk ($12.99). The Wii supports as many as four, but just the one extra controller set should suffice--at least for Christmas morning.
Rechargeable batteries: The Wiimote takes two standard AA batteries. They're included--with the Wii, and with the sold-separately version of the controller mentioned above--but avid players may find the juice draining pretty quickly, especially if they keep the nunchuk attached (it draws its power from the Wiimote). Instead of buying an endless stream of costly AAs, consider investing in a set of rechargeables. You can score a charger and four rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries for less than $25.
GameCube controllers: The Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Nintendo GameCube, but there's a catch: to play the GameCube games, you'll need a GameCube controller ($15.99). You can even go wireless with the Nintendo WaveBird ($59.99). If you already have a GameCube, your existing controllers will work just fine--just plug them in to one of the four ports underneath the flip-up panel on the Wii's topside. GameCube controllers should also work with the Wii's "Virtual Console" games--which saves you the trouble of having to buy a Classic Controller.
GameCube memory cards: One other annoyance when playing GameCube games: your progress can only be saved to GameCube memory cards, not to the Wii's internal memory or to an SD card (we're hoping Nintendo fixes this with a future firmware update). Like the controllers, your old GC cards will work just fine--there are two slots right next to the GameCube controller ports. If you don't have any onhand (and you want to save your games on GC titles), you'll need to spring for a $26.90 (2GB) memory card.
Wii Points: One of the big attactions of the Wii is its Virtual Console, which lets you purchase classic games that originally came from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the Sega Genesis, and the TurboGrafx16. By the end of 2006, at least 30 titles should be available, including Donkey Kong (NES), Super Mario 64 (N64), and Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis). To purchase the downloadable titles, you'll need to use a Nintendo currency known as Wii Points (similar to the Microsoft Points on Xbox Live), which currently have an exchange rate of 100 points per U.S. dollar. You can buy Wii Points directly through the console's online store, or use prepaid cards (2000 Wii Points) available in various denominations.
SD card: If you're close to filling the Wii's built-in 512MB of storage with your Virtual Console games, you can always expand your available space with an SD card. Nintendo sells its own, but any run-of-the-mill card will do. Fairly spacious 1GB cards are available for less than $20--even less with mail-in rebates--and they'll work in plenty of other gadgets as well.
Wireless access point: In addition to the downloadable Virtual Console games, the Wii offers online "channels," including news, weather, and even an Opera Web browser (head-to-head online gaming is said to be coming sometime in 2007). You can get online for free via the Wii's built-in Wi-Fi. To do so, of course, you'll need a nearby wireless access point or router. Alternately, you can plug the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any nearby PC on a wired network, and the Wii--plus your Nintendo DS--will be able to use it to get online instead.
Component video adapter: The Wii doesn't have the graphical horsepower to handle high-def graphics, but it can do DVD-level 480p video, which will look considerably better on large HDTVs. To see the Wii's games in 480p, you'll need Nintendo's proprietary component video adapter, which should run about $20. |
