Get a competitive edge with Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset. Co-developed with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, this headset is designed specifically for gamers to give them a definite edge over the competition.
Take your gaming audio to the next level. Know where your enemies are at all times. Sound Blaster X-Fi technology delivers flawless audio and positional 3D effects. The Creative Fatal1ty is lightweight and has a padded adjustable headband for a tailored fit. Circum-aural design cancels out ambient noise reception while the microphone delivers clear commands during gaming or chatting.
Simple plug and play technology will have you up and gaming in minutes. Convenient in-line volume and microphone control allow you to adjust sound to your preference. Hear the frag-fest, the symphony, or even your friend that lives out of state, in tones so rich and clear you would swear you are in the same room.
Pros: Wonderful headset, it fits perfectly and the sound quality of the mic is very good. The mic is very flexable and the head can rotate a bit which can make it look like the mic doesn't work, see my other thoughts for how to fix it.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: If your having problems with people hearing you do the following: take off the foam cover, rotate the mic head so the side that has round holes is facing you when you have the headset on, then replace the foam cover.

Great, Durable Headset
Reviewed By: Nickelpat on 8/15/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: The overall sound is very crisp and clear with a nice deep bass, gunshots have a nice pop and music actually doesn't sound bad.
The headset is also very comfortable, I wore mine for hours on end (9-12 hours at a time sometimes) and never had an issue. The velvet earcup and head padding works well and doesn't slip or itch at all.
The microphone picks things up clearly, being you have the wind/breath guard on it. If not it will pick up a lot of unwanted background noise.
Fatal1ty logos are kept to a minimum, with only one of each can and his signature on the left hand side, which is great. Very tasteful design.
In-line volume and mute is always a plus.
Very durable piece of equipment, it lasted me one year and one week exactly. Even then, it was just the left can cutting in and out every now and then. The right can and microphone work fine, this is actually the only reason I'm buying a new set.
The included carrying bag is pretty neat.
Cons: The microphone doesn't flip up at all, although it can be taken off. I found it troublesome at first that I to watch to not knock the microphone around, although I did get used to it.
The velvet on the earcups and headband will, undoubtedly, collect lint and dust after a while.
The clip on the in-line volume island is a bit weak. Mine broke off in the first week or so.
I would have much preferred a braided cord over the normal straight and smooth one.
The cord is a little loose, even new, which, although it's not a real issue, is annoying and made me think it had a slightly lower build quality.
The microphone can be removed, although this may be a pro for some, for me it's just an unnecessary thing and another moving part that can bust on me. I would have preferred a microphone that rotates.
My set makes a popping noise over the microphone whenever I mute or unmute it while my friend's will echo every sound his computer makes while it's muted. It may well be out sound
Other Thoughts: I treated the set very nicely, I only ran over the cord once or twice with my chair and it never was dropped or thrown around. The two plugs took a pretty hard hit from my chair more than once though, they bent a little bit, but plugged it and worked just the same, with no sound degradation.
I'm not a huge audiophile, and I used this for all of sound. Movies, games, and music. I though it's sound great on all of them, the positional sound worked well with games and didn't affect games or movies.
I use no special soundcard, just the onboard with my chipset (Intel x38 express)
Like I said, this set survived just over a year with me, then the left ear started cutting in and out. It's nothing bad and I fixed it by taping the cord up to the earcup, but, I'm still switching it out for a new one. All-in-all, it's very durable.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good Sound and bass. I like creative products and i like this one too. Detachable microphone
Cons: Left ear of headset stops working suddenly. In my view creative is a good brand. But I dont know why they produce these basic mistakes. Manufacturer will not pick calls and their toll free number is waste and the automated message tells to look into the website for information, which it thinks we doesnt know.
Other Thoughts: Every headset cannot work after 3-4 months. Since it is a good brand I thought it would work for a minimum of 1 year. I returned the product. Since I trust the brand i have thrown away the retail box. Finally I returned the product and got the replacement. The customer service is very good. I have faced some problem when I called first time. Since I dont have retail box That guy had given me a creative number to call. I called but no one responded. I hate the customer service of creative. I have lost the trust in creative brand

Great Headset
Reviewed By: on 11/16/2009
Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Very comfortable, the felt at the top and around the ears is nice
Sounds GREAT
The mic is also very good
Cons: The top thing is made out of a cheap plastic (you dont feel it as the felt rests on the top of your head though)
can get sort of uncomfortable after wearing for a while, but all you need to do is adjust slightly
Other Thoughts: Great overall headset for the price
