Cons: Moderate battery life, frail slider joint, short tether wire.

Pros: Easy to setup, decent audio, decent signal range.
Comment:
The HS1200 is a secent headset that works quite well. I am pretty sure my usage would be classed as moderate since I only use them at night to avoid disturbing others in the house. However, the left slider casing broke recently and the audio has degraded slightly since then.Anyone using this headset should not pull on the ear peices to put on or remove the headset, only grab the overhead arch piece that connects them.There is also a weight difference between sides, but that is more annoying then actually trouble.If you would like a slightly more in depth review, check out this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDp87sPjCJY

Cons: The biggest disappointment is that they chinced out on the size of earcups. So prolonged gaming makes my ears very sore.Why couldn't they build it with larger cups? Esp since its the top of the line?

Pros: Wireless with very good range. Sturdily built. If you are tired of your headset breaking every few months this is a switch!
Comment:
Good quality, decent audio.It is a big disappointment to find the earcups do not surround the ear, unless you can scrunch them up, fold them and make them fit in a twisted convoluted fashion. Can you say cauliflower ear?

Cons: Clips on adjustable head band are flimsy and can break. Little bit of tape does the trick.

Pros: Wireless.Very long range through walls in home.Charge lasts long.Long cord while charging.Great stereo sound with.
Comment:
I was given these for Christmas as a gift. I couldnt be happier. This is the first time i had a headset last for more than a year as i usually run over the cord with the comp chair ruining the wire. The long range of the headset allows me to pretty much walk around my house and still hear the sound from the game or music im listening to.Ive never had any problem with this item going out of sync per say as im reading in other posts. Comes with its own install cd with is perfect for volume control and changing your sound settings.

Cons: Doesn't work with Ventrilo, low mic volume, no decent drivers from Creative, huge receiver makes them a poor with a notebook.

Pros: They are a good idea
Comment:
These can't be returned and they simply don't work properly in many apps. Searches on the web and forums confirm that there is no fix for this and it has been a known issue for almost a year!

Cons: Short range, Manufacturing flaws, breaks easily.

Pros: Decent sound quality when it works.
Comment:
The headset will lose sync with the base if left to fully drain (left unplugged or plugged into a system that is powered down), forcing the user to use a paperclip to hit the factory reset button conveniently hidden inside a tiny unmarked hole on the right earcup. (As suggested by Creative Labs support page)For myself and many others, this has resulted in a fancy paperweight after only a few months of gentle use as the workmanship of this button is very poor and it breaks off with very little pressure. Creative labs classifies this as not covered under warranty despite it being an obvious manufacturing flaw that could easily be resolved by placing the reset switch on the outside with the other buttons, or at the very least reinforcing the button with something more than two 1/2mm pieces of cheap plastic.

Cons: The earcups are a little small.

Pros: Fantastic wireless, NOT Infrared.
Comment:
A fantastic product from the perspective of quality and innovation.Notice the metal framework: Most headsets have gone with cheap plastic you know is just waiting to break.The quality of workmanship is very high as I would expect from Creative Labs. The audio quality is fantastic.The only drawback is the earcup sizes. Because the headset doesn't fully enclose the ear, it can be uncomfortable if you are using the headset for hours on end.

Cons: Microphone isn't as good as the speakers, can be a little snug when playing for hours

Pros: Very good sound, quick recharge time, long range, comfortable
Comment:
Purchased this thing for my living room box, which is now fully wireless thanks to this headset. There are other wireless headsets, but most are for cellphones, not GAMING headsets. This delivers what I need : good quality sound in a lightweight, comfortable headset.It charges in just 2.5 hours and the full charge lasts... I don't know how long, which is good, since it means we give up the gaming before it does, but they have been used for up to 5 continuous hours with no sign of weakening battery.With these on, I have gone into my back yard carrying on an MSN audio conversation which was very neat. Distance doesn't seem to faze this thing either.The only weak side of this headset is the microphone which yields a somewhat distorted speech. It's not so much ambient noise which carries through, but a true distortion from the microphone itself, so it seems. But it's not worse than many other wired headsets out there and certainly what is being said by the wearer is well understood at the other end. But it is simply not crystal-clear.For the price I feel this is good value, 4 stars out of 5. I would certainly buy again.
