T160HyHax! 5/14/2013 1:39:16 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5THE BEST HEADPHONES!!! Pros: I own second pair of this headphones, it was painful to find them online, now they are available again on newegg! I've tried many headphones (e.x. Astro (is good, but requiters an extra sound card that supports Doulby techs), TurtleBeach - horrible mic and design!) excellent mic (silence technology) Good sound quality Excellent for FPS games! Solid surround experience. USB. Very soft Cons: Not really durable over 1 year!))) Manage to break on me once (but no doubt I'm a hardcore gamer, I play 5hr+ a day) Other Thoughts: Hope they started to sell them again! Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 7/26/2011 1:02:38 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome Pros: Had it since Feb 2010 and still working fine with no issues.

THE GOAT 2/26/2011 6:28:23 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5I love these things Pros: Sound is great, support is great too. I had a problem with my USB basically falling apart. I use these a lot and headsets aren't very durable to begin with. Anyways, creative was easy to work with via email and within a couple weeks I had a brand new pair! Thanks Creative! Cons: They did break, but I have never owned a pair of headsets that didnt. It happens. Other Thoughts: I think my next step is wireless, if it weren't for the usb cable, I probably never would have had them break in the first place. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 2/23/2011 8:15:01 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Awesome, some issues Pros: -Awesome Bass -Flexible and versatile -Comfortable Earmuffs Cons: -Cheap/Terrible USB connector -Top of the headset is uncomfortable, leaves an imprint on the top of your head. Also pulls on your hair, can create migraines. -Terrible cord, it gets twisted so easily Other Thoughts: Only reason I took an egg away is due to the headset being uncomfortable, other than that it is a great headset.

DasBoomstick 2/8/2011 7:28:10 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 1/5Awesome while it lasted Pros: Amazing sound quality for the price Very comfortable (I game for at minimum 4 hour sessions, never makes my ears sore) Great microphone quality All in all a great headset Cons: Very, VERY flimsy. The USB connector broke on me within 2 days, had to fenagle the connector at an angle just to get it to connect. Been putting up with it for the last year, and it finally completely quit out on me. The internals of the connector are shoddy, the problem, come to find out, was with the souldering on the chip. It came completely undone. I love the sound quality but looks like this is the last creative product I'm going to buy until they upgrade their manufacturing standards. Did you find this review helpful?

Gut 1/28/2011 2:48:40 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Spend the extra 30 for 5.1/7.1 Pros: These headphones sound extremely good! Great bass, decent highs. A very good balance for listening to loud music. Cons: -1 Egg for it not being a true surround headset. In my opinion a waste of a good X-fi chip. Other Thoughts: This is what you need if your onboard sound is a problem. Mine was extremely quiet. This headset has its own sound card with its own louder volume. That was a plus for me. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Steve 1/22/2011 11:54:50 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Ouch Pros: AMAZING sound Great Durability, has lasted a while Great microphone sound Pretty much a great headset if you can get over the fact that.....CONS Cons: No comfort AT ALL in the top part of this headset. Notice it's thin? Well it is, and it LITERALLY wore a spot down into my head....now I have a deep imprint in the middle of my dang head. If you can get past this then it is a fine product Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 1/7/2011 11:50:02 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Awesome Headset Pros: They sound awesome. I also love how much bass these things produce. I am on Vent all the time and I can always hear everything very clearly and I always sound super clear according to friends and guild mates. Cons: I hate the drivers.

InAdaYz 1/4/2011 7:45:25 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Headset that blows competition away - 2nd purchase Pros: Sound quality beats all others. My son broke my first pair, so I bought some famous ninja turtle brand. That was a mistake. I immediately purchased these again. Bass is nice, virtual surround sound is awesome, and mic is great with the option to cancel background noise. They fit comfortably on my head and around my ears. Cons: Made of plastic that a 2 year old can break,,,but, it is your own fault for leaving them out for that to happen. Other Thoughts: I would recommend these to anyone. Virtual surround sound is great for games such as Battlefield 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops, Left for Dead 1/2. You will not be disappointed with the quality at this price.
