Title: A perfect blend between Gaming and Multi Media
Review: So I needed a headset for a job I had taken working from home. After doing a lot of research I came over this set. Now, I don’t have a ton of experience with gmaing headsets. I previously owned a Turtlebeach set some years ago and while it was fine and sounded great, it honestly wasn’t very comfortable and I ended up giving to my niece. How far things have come since then! Firstly I love that the ear pads aren’t some nasty, sweaty pleather but rather light, breathable mesh. Secondly they are so light! Despite having LED lighting and an array of feature controls in one ear cup I barely know I have them on. I wear glasses and quite often a baseball cap and with the temporary job I have, I have to wear these for 8 hours a day with only a half hour lunch break in between and honestly I barely know I’ve had them on – which is just incredible. They cover your entire ear and perch gently on top of your head with no overt side to side pressure or downward pressure from the headband. I’ve usually always worn earbuds because of my glasses, over-ear headsets usually end up pushing the arms into the side of my head and hurting after a while. Not these puppies!Now as far as sound quality goes – to me, they sound great. Really deep and rich and bassy. But I’m no audophile. I’m sure someone with a set of Bowers and Wilkins, Bose or Beyerdynamics would have something to say about their sound quality, but for a rube like me they seem great. I’ve started playing Valorant and with the software you can really tune them to bring out those all-important footstep sounds.Mic quality is spot on, I’m not going to overstate it and say it’s far beyond anything you’d expect but sits perfectly adequately at this price point. None of the people I speak to during my job have ever complained at not being able to hear me and none of my team mates in CS:GO, Apex, Valorant, COD: WZ or chats in Discord, Skype or WhattsApp have ever complained about a sound issue. As a bonus feature, the mic is removable.The LED’s in the ear cups aren’t the brightest, my mouse and keyboard LED’s are much brighter, but c’mon… it’s a set of headphones. The colour selection is incredible, though. Full RGB so whatever your set up theme is, you can get your ear cups to match which is a nice touch.Not sure I really like the micro USB connection – can we puuuhhllleeaaazzzzeee start getting USB-C?! It’s a much more solid and reliable connection.Build quality feels really nice, metal and high quality plastics that are matted so they aren’t finger print magnets. Seem like they’ll last a good while. The buttons have a reassuring tactile feel. The only weak spot I worry about is the USB connector, I feel like if they fell and landed on that, you could end up with a redundant headset…. well…. almost…. it does have a TRRS 3.5mm jack connector so you can use them with your phone or whatever, but then you don’t get the lighting or software enhancements. At least they have the option for that if the worst happened.Do I recommend? Well, if you need a headset and have about 60 quid spare then I struggle to think of a better set you can get. It’s really down to you and your budget, yes there are cheaper options and yes there are more expensive options but if I had to make the purchase again I would definitely and without hesitation be looking to get another set of these because between the comfort, mic clarity and sound quality they make a very compelling package at a highly affordable price. In my opinion, Creative knocked it out of the park with these and as the OG’s in PC audio, you can safely assume they knew what they were doing when they put them together.

Title: Great for gaming, movies and music
Review: GOOD THINGS:1. Windows 10 installed it in seconds.2. When connected, other sound outputs (external speakers) are automatically switched off (USB only).3. Light weight, well balanced.4. Comfy and secure fitting, dense memory foam.5. Good quality sound – crisp and bassy.6. The mic now has a removable foam pop filter (but this is not shown on the box or explained in the instructions).7. The Volume control wheel adjusts Windows output volume (USB only).8. It has both USB and 3.5mm analog jack connections. :)9. The EQ button makes a small difference (EQ presets: gaming is less bassy, movies and music are more bassy.NIGGLY THINGS:1. The hard plastic USB cable (if tapped) resonates and amplifies as knocking sounds to the left earcup. A braided or corded USB cable would have reduced this.2. The mic is low output by default. This can be boosted to 80-100% via Windows Settings > Sound > Input > Device properties; or by using the Creative Connect software.3. The Ambient Monitor button just turns off the sound input and lets you hear the mic input. Any normal person would simply lift the headset off, rather then fumbling around for a button to do this.4. You have to install additional Creative Connect bloatware to re-configure it (e.g. change the colour of the LED from red to something else, or change the EQ settings).

Title: Don’t buy this for the mic
Review: First off it’s not a bad set of headphones, they’re sturdy, the sound is great, and the Soundblaster software gives you a decent amount of audio control. HOWEVER, the Microphone is an absolute trash fire, not only is the quality terrible but over Discord I get complaints of people hearing robotic voice feedback, the mic will often cut out, and sometimes the headset will stop picking up voice from Discord altogether. I’ve tossed this to the side for voice comms and decided to repair a 2016 Plantronics 788 headset which is less sturdy and middling sound quality, but still has superior microphone quality and isn’t a colossal glitchy mess, which unfortunately seems to be a theme I’ve noticed with nearly every Creative product I’ve owned.

Title: Keeps crashing out when used in games and with discord/teamspeak
Review: Things started out great , the sound quality when used with music and movies is great , but when trying to use with 3rd party voice chat software and gaming at the same time you get sound lag , glitches and then lose sound on either your game or voice chat , if i paid full price i would be asking for a refund and be more weary buying creative hardware again , very disappointed

Title: High quality headset with fabric earpads and headband
Review: I wanted a headset that could fit me better than the Kingston cloud hyperx, and that used fabric instead of PU leather.Sound quality is good, earcups are big and fit is greatThe microphone works over 3.5mm 4 pole jack & over USB.The extra features (volume control, monitoring, EQ, lights) work when the USB connection is used.Update – Jan 2020Still impressed by these, especially at the price (about Â£60). I have (or used to have) the Kingston Hyperx, Steelseries Arctis 3, Sennheiser Game One, Creative Tactic Sigma and an on-ear Sennheiser PC headset (PC 155?)My favourite headsets are the Sennheiser Game One and this Sound Blaster H6, both for the sound and comfort – have often found it hard to find headphones/headsets large enough to fit my head and ears… these 2 are nice and comfy!You can also unplug the microphone and use them as headphones for a mobile phone etc. using the 3.5mm jack cable

Review: Ich kannte das Headset schon von der Arbeit wo es mir in VCs aber auch beim MusikhÃ¶ren gute Dienste geleistet hat. Der Sound ist super, die Welt wird zwar nicht zu 100% ausgeblendet, dafÃ¼r aber fÃ¼r meine Zwecke gut genug. Das Mikrofon stÃ¶rt ein wenig, wildes Rumgefuchtel sollte man sich klemmen.ðŸ˜…

Review: He adquirido estos cascos recientemente en reemplazo, de unos logitech G432, estuve comparando las caracteristicas, de estos sound blaster H6 los he probado utilizando el software es cÃ³modo y facil de utilizar, como actualmente tengo la targeta de audio soud blaster AE7 estoy utilizando los cascos con esta targeta de audio con el cable jack 3.5 de cuatro polos, en vez de usar el cable usb, que tambiÃ©n es fantÃ¡stico por las funciones que tiene control RGB y el micrÃ³fono exterior para escuchar si alguien te llama o suena el timbre y decir que me ha sorprendido la calidad y detalles del sonido, tanto en mÃºsica como en juegos el sonido en juegos es total y altamente inmercibo en la calidad y detalles, te das cuenta de donde proviene los pasos, cada detalle mÃnimo del sonido y te permite reaccionar rÃ¡pidamente en los juegos, el micrÃ³fono tiene un sonido exelente y nitido se escucha perfectamente, tiene un pequeÃ±o filtro antipop y eso ayuda mucho al usar el micro, los bajos son fantÃ¡sticos, el surround igual de fantÃ¡stico, el sonido es sÃºper realista, e inmersivo, la mÃºsica se escucha igual de fantÃ¡stica, aunque tambiÃ©n depende del formato y la calidad de la mismas, si necesitarÃ¡ otros cascos, los volveria a comprar, estÃ©ticamente son muy llamativos y elegantes y sobre todo muy cÃ³modos, se me ajustan perfectamente al ponÃ©rmelos, son livianos y casÃ ni se notan. Altamente recomendables.

Review: The headset is a proper full package, I have been using it for some months and I don’t have any complaints with it.Pros1. It has rgb lights, customisable2. The sound is better than any other headset at this range no matter gaming or not3. Good for gaming and music4. Mic is extraordinary, I couldn’t believe when I recorded from it, you don’t have to do any thing it doesn’t catch any outside noice so just record it and add it raw no polishing is needed.5. The ear pads are breathable so even if you are using it for long hours ears won’t get sweaty6. It comes with an aux cable and an USB cable, I use it with usb cable it provides much better sound quality than aux cable.7. Mic is detachable

Review: C’est un casque d’excellente qualitÃ©, pour le prix.Pour la connectique de ce casque: mÃªme si il fonctionne en numÃ©rique via le port USB, on peut le connecter via prise jack 3.5mm standard, la connectique lui permet d’Ãªtre utilisÃ© sur PC, Xbox One, PS4 et Nintendo Switch, les cÃ¢bles fournis sont dâ€™une longueur correcte (2m en USB et 1.5m en jack) . les deux cÃ¢bles sont amovibles.Je l’utilise en FPS sur BF5 principalement, c’est vraiment intÃ©ressant ce 7.1 virtuel, car on entend bien les sons, surtout de la direction qu’ils viennent, cela Ã©vite de se surprendre par un adversaire.J’apprÃ©cie Ã©galement la qualitÃ© des mousses, elles ne sont pas recouvertes d’un simili cuir, mais d’un genre de tissu alvÃ©olÃ©, trÃ¨s agrÃ©able.Avec un diamÃ¨tre 50mm la qualitÃ© des basses sont trÃ¨s bonnes.Sur la partie gauche, il y le rÃ©glage du volume, un bouton pour le monitoring, un pour l’Ã©galiseur, un autre pour couper le micro, avec une petite led rouge en bout du micro: Rouge il est arrÃªtÃ©, Ã©teint le micro est en fonction.Le micro est amovible, pour utiliser le casque en autonomie.L’installation du logiciel, permet d’affiner les rÃ©glages selon ses envies.J’ai enlevÃ© un Ã©toile pour le confort, je n’ai pas rÃ©ussi Ã trouver un casque, mÃªme dans du haut de gamme, qui ne me fasse pas mal aux oreilles au bout d’une heure.C’est un achat que je conseille vraiment, rien Ã voir avec d’autres marques dans ces prix lÃ , il est vraiment top !!
