Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MKII

Comment:
Really comfortable yet to have any problems immediately after two-three hour gaming sessions.I Love the design incredibly clean and good.The ear cup material feels very good,It does not make my ears sweat compared to some of the other cheaper headsets.Potential to fold the ear cups flat for storageSound quality is fantastic,Noticeable upgrade from the Logitech set i was employing The only con that i have with this set and it is a minor a single.For the cost of this and design of this headset it would have been nice if it had Xfi built in.I know the reduce cost fatality's have it built in but this gorgeous headset does not.If it had the Xfi built in this would be a strong five star from me .This might not be a problem for some that use sound cards,but for ppl like myself with on board sound it would have just been a great added touch .Nevertheless a great headset

First, the most important distinction amongst three.5mm and USB headsets is that the latter bypasses your sound card and makes use of its personal drivers. Seeing as I recently bought Creative's Fatal1ty Titanium Series sound card, I wanted to take advantage of it. This headset caught my eye with 3 functions, that when paired with my sound card, seemed to set it apart from the competitors. In a sentence, the Crystallizer is WOW. This is where the headset shines. Seriously, I'm no audiophile, but after enabling this feature my music was crisp and wonderful. The bass is great, with only minor fraying when the music got actually loud, but that is uncommon. With out it, the sound was fantastic, but not adequate to get me to switch from my Computer 151's. Voice FX is a exciting little function that warps your voice, but I haven't seriously utilized it. The headset is pretty sturdy, I haven't had any drops so I can't genuinely comment on this. You gotta give your head time to adjust to the headset, but when it does, you hardly discover it. I would like to address some of the complaints/comments I located about the net regarding this headset. Very first, the common consensus from forums and casual buyers was that they hated the headset, despite critics giving it high marks. Common complaints are that the microphone sucks, the sound good quality is sub par, the headset breaks simply, and that the three.5mm connectors split over time. Right here is what I identified although, the majority of these customers do not pair this headset with the Titanium sound card, which dulls its edge over the competition and for the price you pay, there is too considerably tweaking / setup involved in order to get this headset to operate accurately. This comes from my observations that most customers returned their headsets a couple of days immediately after use and the reality that they never ever pointed out they had the sound card in their comments. My conclusion: Unless paired with the Titanium sound card, I'd go with a competitor's headset. Nevertheless, soon after some tweaking, I Enjoy my MKII. Anytime I read customer critiques on goods, I'm looking for data that will support me decide whether to buy a the a single I had in mind or assist compare alternative to weigh out my alternatives. Taking into consideration most critiques / feedback are by average buyers and not critics with years of audio encounter, I look for common pros and cons that repeat themselves. With that in mind, I hope I did my best to give a fair and truthful judgment on Inventive's Fatal1ty Series Professional MKII Headset. PLEASE NOTE! If you are operating Windows 7, be confident to download Inventive's new drivers for the Titanium sound card and the MKII headset, if you own them. With no them, the Crystallizer and Silencer will not work! I can not pressure this adequate. For the initial week of owning this headset, I received noise in the headset from specific games and the microphone was a mess. On the other hand, with the new drivers, almost everything resolved itself and I'm extremely pleased with the item.

A standard headset with in-line controls Don't bother spending a hundred bucks on this thing. You may as properly buy a headset with digital surround, unless of course you'd rather continue working with analog sound... The only purpose this is so costly is mainly because they know men and women are willing to invest so a lot income on something called "gaming headset" rather than just "normal daily headset". If you want a fantastic deal on aswm headphones examine out Logitech's G35 or G930. My buddy has a G930, it is amazingly comfy and sounds excellent, not to mention customizable keys on the side are fairly stellar.

Does a decent job of blocking external noises. Voice was fine.Newer huge budget movie sounded fantastic. Sound terrible. The lows are overpowered and quite quite muddy. The highs are clipped and sound like listening from a bucket.Older movies suffer from the challenge. Newer movie tested sounded significantly greater because they tend to be much more balanced to the lows.If I hadn't paid the sale cost, I would return them, but they are suitable for 1 of my sons - they don't know any superior.If you want clean, well balanced sound... seriously - appear elsewhere. Best pad is a bit hard, possibly softens with time. They can get comparatively loud with no distortion.Played CSS with ingame voice and employed a Ventrilo server for Borderlands.Watched Matrix for older film, watched Star trek (the new one particular) for a newer encounter. Star Trek Was substantially superior encounter.Listened to high 鵀k) VBR and CBR MP3, and some Ogg for music testing.

1- Extended cord that can go behind my corner desktwo- Extremely great audio with on-board three- Doesn't have a hockey puck sized volume control4- Got it on Sale5- Detachable mic? 1- Plastic feels cheep2- Must be produced in America if it isn'tthree- Cable loses flexibility it seems right after time4- The noise suppression/comfort foam is wearing out a bit and makes it possible for far more noise in5- Have to have a haircut to make the Foam to genuinely work at all i appears These issues got close to breaking on every single side exactly where the headband splits like a Y to each and every side of the ear cup. Instead of writing a horrible evaluation and going OMFGONOZ!!! i discovered some anything referred to as a "Wal-mart" and grabbed some "Super-glue" and fixed them.Also the notch selector for head size wears out a bit and so i had to take them apart and re-seat it i guess.

Sound High quality is great , it assists me game longer and i can concentrate spatial sounds greater. Modular mic is very cool. None

Awesome headset they seriously although about almost everything.Sound excellent and quite good locational for fps shooters. Really comfortable. you have to play close to with eq settings to sound regular it has a bit of too substantially bass of course dependent on what your playing or what music your listening also obnoxiously extended cable i just use a cable turtle This is an remarkable headset good for all close to use

Comment:
They fit my head pretty snug. Not too heavy on the ears and the rubber padding on the ears seems to lock anything about you out so you can focus on the game at hand. Absolute negative sound high quality. Initial off there's way also significantly bass on these points that it muffles out every little thing elseWhen listening to music watching videos on youtube and so on there is a super annoying buzz every single time sound reaches it's height.The worst factor tho is that when I have the headset at one hundred% (like I often do for games/music) there is a continuous buzz that comes thru this headset so it's impossible to appreciate something on these. For the cost of these factors it need to be one hundred% wonderful sound and no difficulties....Stay AWAY FROM THIS HEADSET!!!!!

Excellent Sound, Long Cord. The plastic connection that secures the band to the speakers, is seriously weak. I would not suggest this piece of junk to any individual. You are superior off acquiring a affordable twenty dollar 1 and expecting it to break like this a single did. Bottom line, Inventive scammed me! Creative scammed me!

Fairly descent sound high quality and mic.Great volume handle.Fits nicely Not as comfy as i expected! will hurt following prolong use Feels quite great and comfy when you first put it on but following about 3-four hrs it will start off to hurt your ears.

Got it on sale from retail price tag ๳ to ฮ. Blocks off outdoors sounds and can listen to Anything IN-GAME! Noob feel I'm wall hacking or something hahaha. But on a serious note, this is the greatest headset I've purchased out of 20+ other brands out there. Soft on the ears and it feel as even though its massaging my ears as properly. That's a plus when playing a game. Cord is pretty lengthy and has an adapter to the mic plug. Also the headset pivots which is pretty awesome. The mic piece appears a little flimsy but I don't truly require to adjust it 24ǝ so its whatever. Not truly a con due to the fact it demands to be adjusted towards the user's content material. This product is a have to have! Wearing this headset tends to make me really feel like a pro.Counters-Strike Supply!- NeLLy! // Viet|NT|StyleZ

They have nice sound high quality and feel fantastic on your head but that is about it. Oh yeah and they toss a good carrying bag in that just about no one will ever use. Mics sound canceling properties had been so excellent that you had to either yell or have it right on the tip of your lips for it to record properly replaced it right after a handful of months since even at full output folks couldn't hear me well on ventrillo. Secondly the pieces holding the earphones on are extremely extremely thin plastic which breaks with normal use. A couple of months following i bought them cracks began forming on the plastic piece holding the earphone on and just right now i lastly had 1 snap all the way off when i picked it up :X. If your going to shell out this type of funds for a headset contemplate something with a tiny superior construction. This is almost certainly the final time I will be going with a inventive headset this is the second set that's gone out on me in the last year and a half and they aren't precisely inexpensive.

Comment:
it is just ok soon after getting this for awhile (approx 4 months) the place exactly where the wires separate (small inline splitter) for the mic and the headset - the headset wire separated from the splitter and the cable is so low-cost it appears it is going to really challenging to make any type of repair. I didn't even make an attempt to have it warrantied mainly because after reading the other evaluations I'm assuming creative won't replace this as they are going to blame this on abuse.

Comment:
quite comfy headset. didnt have a break in period. was comfortable from the initial time i put them on.great noise cancellation...this may possibly be a dilemma as if you're carrying out anything you wont be in a position to hear folks speaking to you....not a challenge for gamingsome men and women complain about flimsy mic...and i would say it stays in spot for me. no one particular in vent complains about sound going in and out... it doesnt print cash or grant wishes got these for ๛ with โMIR.DEFFF worth their value so its a steal if you find it at a lower cost.

Comment:
Extremely ComfortableGot em on saleExcellent Excellent sound for the costWorks fantastic with Vent and TS Only one color All round excellent item. After I purchased these I recommended them to other people who have also purchased and are equally satisfied.

Comment:
the sound excellent is pretty good i consider it is much better than some other headsets out there tho it could be far better. the reason i took two eggs is for the truth that the mic doesn't pick up my voice even tho i speak loud and others with this headset have stated the identical factor the other explanation for the egg deduction is the comfort level is less than desired. my ears get hot and after 1hr they start to get soar superior but not for the cost

Comment:
The headset was comfortable and had excellent sound. May use it for future use as just headphones. After one month the headset dropped off my desktop Computer falling onto carpet possibly two feet down. The microphone snapped in half and when I went by means of a 1 week process with Creative to attempt and get it warrantied I was told that it is not covered as its "normal put on and tear" or neglect. Also contacted Newegg who would not do anything as physical damage is not covered under their warranty leaving me paying way also much for 1 month of headset use.

Comment:
I bought this headset to replace yet another affordable a single, and was I surprised at it. The sound good quality is very superior but not audiophile level, but I'm not genuinely an audiophile so it performs nicely. Also, even though it doesn't actually matter to some, these appear good too which is a plus. The mic is not very sensitive which can be a hassle with the gain boosting when you're attempting not to get a lot of static, but simply worked around. Worth just about every penny.

-Very great bass sound good quality. -Mic has extremely clear sound and only really slightly picks up the wind noise from my fan pointing directly at me.-Comfy ear paddings in fact go around my ear nicely and are incredibly good even although I wear glasses-The pads are massive sufficient to provide a good level of noise isolation-I enjoy the three.5mm jack, no drivers necessary -The treble good quality does not match the bass high quality. If I were to rate bass quality as outstanding, treble good quality would be normal. This isn't bad for regular men and women, but if you're an audiophile you won't like it.-The ear pieces swivel really freely. This I see as a weak point in the headset because if handled incorrectly, the ear piece could easily swivel also substantially and break (i.e. you can't take these off with 1 hand). I study a lot of evaluations ahead of getting these and a lot of men and women mentioned that the connection to the headset was fragile and broke a lot. I consider this is since a lot of men and women didn't read the directions. In order to put in and remove the mic you should ALIGN THE Modest TRIANGLES. This little point may be causing folks to complain about mic breakages.Overall it's a satisfactory headset with wonderful bass and passable treble. You just have to be really gentle with it (i.e. generally take away with two hands, follow directions for mic, and so on). Take care of it and it will take care of you.

-Comfy-Great highs and lows-Excellent mic, no complications acquiring it operating-Noise cancelling when employed with the matching Fatal1ty Pro card -Getting it on for longer than two-3 hours can get your ears a Small sore... but that's expected. two-three hours, like, come on.

Great sound, greater bass than most headsets.Mostly flexible microphone. Comfy ear pieces, with highly adjustable ear pieces. Plastic tip of mic broke on initially obtain from only setting them down on a desk.. Returned to buy place and replaced under warranty.Within a month, the right ear had broken the plastic connector that connects to the headset to the assistance band. If you infant, shield, and otherwise treat anything you personal as if it had been created of porcelain, than you might advantage from these, but for the value, I was not happy with the make top quality.

Great for gaming. Alot of bass. Can extremely simply hear footsteps on cod4 over my x11s. I can't think about these cranked all the way, I have them at a quarter turned up. Primarily comfy. The top rated band could be a bit wider and/or much more padded. About the ears they are very comfortable. And I am deaf to the outdoors globe when I have them on. Like I talked about, and I saw in other testimonials, the prime band can be type of annoying. So in terms of comfortability I give this headset a 4Ǜ. Almost everything else is fine, such as around the ears and so forth. Not as comfortable as my turtle beach x11's, but certainly a sound improvement. I bought these when there was a 25$ coupon and a 50$ mail in rebate. All together I got this headset for 25 bucks which is an absolute STEAL. Now, for it's total price I don't believe I would have went for it. The Logitech G35 is a tiny bit a lot more than 100$, so if you're going to be spending that much cash there are superior selections. Possibly if this had been 70 bucks it would be a better deal.

Excellent sound top quality. Died although just sitting at my personal computer. One moment there was sound, the subsequent almost everything went dead. Tested it on numerous other devices and none worked. I'd expected more out of a ~๖ headset. Final time I'll spend that a lot for anything that won't final a lot more than a handful of months.

Quite comfy on the ears, doesn't really feel like your head is becoming smushed.Mic is incredibly clear, quite responsive, and I have been informed that it sounds considerably better then preceding ones I have owned. The leading of the headset (the bar that rests on leading of your head) can be a small uncomfortable at times, specially immediately after extended use. Can be avoided by merely turning the headset, so the headset rests at a diverse spot on your head. I bought this headset when it was on sale for a delicious ษ, or about that. Seeing as my old 1 broke, that was the greatest deal I could even picture obtaining.For the original price range although, there are most likely far more comfortable headsets, but if you don't encounter discomfort with them, and like great sound/mic good quality, this headset is a very good pick.

Incredibly very good sensitiviy and range. These phones had been obviously rated correctly. This is a massive problem in the audio industry and only a correct audiophile could know or comprehend this. These phones can easiliy reproduce 20hz to 20Khz at 100db with zero distortion with a excellent sound card to back them up. Any headset or speakers need to be tailored to each and every person taste. These headphone offer smooth response in the high end, clean midrange and a lot of low end bass for even the severe bass buff. All at the similar time no matter what level your listening to.Create excellent has been talked as a con. Well if you throw them about I am certain you can break them. There are various swivel points to make positive the fit nicely. These are extremely great as noise cancel headphones as nicely.The pads are really comfy and the cord is a lot lengthy. The volume control and mic is convienent and operates extremely well with noise nevertheless following one particular year. The mic is very clear as I have been told. The cost unless purchased on sale. Totaly worth โ. Not 贄.The mic effects advertised right here is not. You ought to have an X-Fi soundcard. For that reason any mic with that soundcard can do the effects. Which by the way are essentially cool.BC2 I have this matched up with my X-Fi titanium card. I am tryng to make a point right here. Don't get cheap speakers with a weak amp and don't get a great amp with affordable speakers. If you do. Don't expect miracles. As far as people today breaking them....really come on. You just spent alot of cash on these. Take care of them. If you get mad although wearing them don't throw them off or yank on them at the cord. Don't let your 2 year old get to them or your dog. These are built a lot fantastic and offer exellent sound when matched up with a fantastic sound card. As far as positional audio. They have 2 drivers folks. Most do. Its not going to majically make sound come from the front or rear with out some sort of fake computer software. Thats how they get wonderful sound out of tiny 40mm drivers. Assume about it. How do they get 7.1 headphones. Had been is the center speaker? How about the .1(subwoofer). Most of the time they are USB mainly because they use software to produce the effect.
