Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MKII

Comment:
Well all I can say is this is the ideal headset I have bought however I have owned all varieties my final 1 was Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset and they perform excellent also but the MKII is far better the mic is Fantastic sound top quality and isolation is fantastic blocks virtually all the outside noise you can actually hear the footsteps when an individual is coming up on you in games, they are Extremely comfortable but the leather cups can get warm when summer is in or when you put on them for a long time. Nicely the only con is I purchased mine from yet another on the net retailer for ๆ.68 and free shipping I wouldn't pay ๟ plus shipping and Tax on these can't see paying more than ๪ for a headset result in we all know they do Break I have however had a headset break on me result in I take actual very good care of my headset and the cords but mic's and speakers do go out I roll up my added cord and have a hook under my desk just for my headset I thought I would attempt the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 1st and when I received them the mic didn't operate which I was kind of happy result in the sound was the worst I have ever had in a headset and that is with the Creative X-Fi Platinum PCI slot not the PCI EX ones so stay away from the Turtle Beach headsets get the MKII you will love them they have gone back up on at the on-line shop I got mine at btw I just got lucky

I dont own these headphones but its just a comment on Creative.They utilized to have Actually Great merchandise. I went by way of a number of audigy cards, not since they stopped operating, but simply because they had been truly excellent. Due to lack of consumer service and support for their products i've stopped buying Creative solutions and have steered away a lot of would be buyers. Their drivers are so freakin old that you can forget about keeping an old audigy card in your windows 7 rig. it just wont work. they never ever update their drivers, and when they do they are all buggy. i lost respect for them and i hope theyre not surprised their small business is going down hill because these troubles have been staring them in the face given that 2006.all i have to say is buyer beware. creative excellent all around is pure garbage. definately not even 50% of what they utilised to be

The most comfy headphones I have ever owned. Excellent sounding headphones for music and gaming. I hear footsteps all about me in BF2 that I never heard before. A huge step up fom my USB headphones. I have them paired with the Xi-Titanium Sound card. A excellent combo. I have only 1 complaint and I did deduct 1 star for this. The cable is very lightweight and the stereo jacks seem incredibly fragile. They are gold plated although, this is a plus. This set would get a tenቦ rating if it had beefier jacks.

Everybody that says these aren't high excellent need to be comparing these to headsets that are 150$+ in value. They're truly excellent. There's a lot of bass but not sufficient to be annoying or uncomfortable. The ear cups go appropriate around your ears and immediately it gets quieter. The cushion on the head strap helps out a lot and I havn't had any discomfort though wearing these for over three hours. The mic could be a bit a lot more responsive/louder. I turned up the mic sensitivity to maximum and nonetheless could barely hear myself when I recorded me speaking. Fortunately in Windows 7 (I'm not confident if it's in other operating systems) there's a microphone boost selection, I have mine set to boosting 20 decibels and there's a little bit of hissing when I'm not speaking but my voice is as if I'm talking to myself. There is a particular feature calls Silencer which is supposed to block out every little thing but your voice but you will need a 150$ Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium sound card to take advantage of that.

Headset has phenomenal sound isolation. you can really get into your game. 1) its not digital.two) poor customer service. Creative has not telephone service selection. IF you need service you have to do it by e-mail and it is 2-three organization days turn about time for every email.I purchased 2 of these and 1 died early on. According to creative's webiste the serial number required for and online RMA is on the box, but their program is rejecting my serial number. I have tried multiple occasions and double checked my typing etc., I've even tried truncating the s/n in case it has additional digits or some thing but no luck...so it will most likely weeks prior to I get this sorted out. There is just no substitute for top quality telephone client service. I have in no way had any complications with creative gear and have constantly been very happy with the high quality of the sound reproduction as properly. Not confident if I will ever use them again based on the lazy cust service setup tho...

Wonderful bass, memory foam, microphone. These headphones are seriously comfy in spite of the weird ear design for them. I loved them until they broke...At ำ dollars it was a complete steal, I had to get them. I can\'t get a hold of the consumer service following a few attempts. My headphones have been broke for about a month and a half and I can't get them fixed due to me not having a serial number. I didn't realize till immediately after I threw the boxes out. I have my invoice and receipt and it's not passed warranty. Due to this I have knocked off 2 eggs. Need a lot more consumer service...

Excellent ear comfort and good sound. Cord is horrible. Make positive the cord is not tugged at all while it's plugged in. Although wearing the headset, I accidently kicked the cord when and yanked the whole wire out from where it connects to the pc, making them useless now.The headband began to hurt the top of my head following a couple hours of gaming. I really liked the overall look and feel to these headphones. It's a shame they only lasted a couple months for me =(

I bought these headphones while at a Lan about a year ago. I used them for the entire Lan and have loved them ever since. They are very comfortable and fit around the ears, so they cancel out most outside noise. My head size is smaller than average (about 7 1/4 or 57cm circumference) but on the smallest setting these fit perfectly. The sound quality is great; however they do not have surround sound on their own, but I have never had any issues while playing shooters. They are very durable; I have dropped them many times and had the cord hook on things so it gets yanked as I walk away, they still work perfectly fine. Once you bend the mic into a normal position close enough to your face it works great. The cord is about 7 feet long I'm guessing so it is also a good size. These headphones are easily worth the money and I would buy them again without any hesitation.

The sounds that this headset offers are a step ahead of my steel series. I would advocate this. Even although Fatal1ty is overrated gamer now these headsets are not. The only con I could feel of would be that I didnt obtain two of them when I got it. When i purchased them they were 100 bucks and I am still not upset by them at all. I just added auzentech x-fi 7.1 burivea sound card and it only amplifies the top quality of sound.

Confortable, clear & crisp sounds, good bass. Cost-effective (find them on sale for ฮ-โ). 6FT cable Music good quality is excellent but not Great. If your seeking for music/dj headphones, this is not for you. It would be nice if they were 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Looking back on my purchase, I wish I would have spent the additional bones for a headset that does music & gaming leading notch.

Snug against ears. blocks out sound extremely well.ComfortableLengthy Cord*Removable MicVery good for music as nicely as gaming Cord is Incredibly lengthy, which can be annoying if utilised to listen to music whilst traveling, but seeing as this is supposed to be utilised as a gaming headset it's definitely a feature rather than a flaw, but nonetheless it can be annoying.Ummm... messes up my spikey hair? Can't actually feel of any actual Cons. I've had these for just more than a year now, and I use them a lot. A lot more for listening to music lately than for actual gaming, and the sound good quality is excellent. I haven't had any extremely high-high quality headphones before these, but compared to the thirty-some dollar Skull Candy headphones and earphones I have they sound noticeably superior. And I haven't even applied them with my new SoundBlaster Fatal1ty Pro Extreme Gamer but <although I'm dieing to see what that's like!>I'm genuinely baffled as to why so several folks are saying these are flimsy in these critiques here; what are these people today doing with these issues, utilizing them to suspend themselves from the ceiling? Jumping on them? Heck, my five year old niece has utilised them a few times and absolutely nothing poor came of it. Mine haven't even chipped, let alone cracked or broken, and I'm not specifically Mr. Cautious myself <total klutz>I would certainly advocate these to any individual. I am quite pleased with mine. Finest headset I've ever owned.

This is a high high quality item from Creative. The MKII is extremely regarded in its class. I get pleasure from the superb sound reproduction and exceptional mic. Audio has superior mid and bass, with just appropriate amount of treble even although I'm not a treble fan. The detachable microphone and fold flat storage are excellent features, but that doesn't make the headphones small. The adjustable headband fits from toddlers to melons. The mic is very clear and the on-cord volume and mic mute controls are also extremely convenient. These headphones are major, rival the size of studio monitors. They are also not the most comfortable headphones as the inside of the ear cups are a thin sheen of fabric more than hard plastic. Putting the detachable mic can be flipped up but it restricts the natural conformity of the ear cups. Because I got these on sale for a fraction of the price, they are undoubtedly worth each penny. Nevertheless, they are not the greatest headphones in the globe and low MSRP reflects that. They are excellent for the sub-100 dollar range but you should pay no much more than half that. That getting said, because this is a headset, you'll be hard pressed to discover a headphone/mic combo that is as very good as these. The MKII series in my mind is the definitive gaming hardware for headsets, and any individual significant about gaming excellence need to put this on the best of their list.

Incredibly comfy (way superior than the old version that I upgraded from immediately after making use of the past two or so years). Takes a little to get utilized to, but not definitely a "con"... You have to adjust your voice level, because you can\'t hear yourself talking with these on (better than some "noise cancelling headphones I've tried out). Some are complaining about the cable length, which I don't see it as an problem. I also use this headset with the Steelseries Xbox adapter, and the extra length is appreciated (plug directly into stereo receiver). When utilizing for PC, I just tie the extra up and out of the way.

Decent sound, not that great but not bad either. The ear muffs do block out background sounds very nicely.Mic boom would remain exactly where you moved it. Picked up my voice clearly with no picking up lots of background noisesLong cord. Flimsy, very flimsy. Had created cracks inside five months where the cradle connects to the ear pieces. Completely broke in less than a year.If I wore it wrong (somehow) it literately felt like an individual had smacked a hammer on the top of my head after extended playing. (Yes, the best of my head hurt that considerably!)Muffs did not have good ventilation, ears sweated profusely during the hotter months.Decent sound, not that poor, but not that excellent either, specifically for the cost. Long cord. This is at its finest a แ.99 head set. If you play in a noisy home or apartment these are very easily worth โ, but not any additional.

everything works as expected. people today say the microphone is low-cost and plastic-y, which it is, but it works perfectly. if you value style and looks more than functionality, dont get headphones with a mic attached to it. the top band does hurt. if i wear them too long it leaves a dent in my head (not just hair, my skull but does go away). the ear pads are comfortable, so im not sure why they didnt use the very same material for the headband.also the wires are really weak exactly where the audio and mic wires join. So my headphones basically are broken now because the wires pulled out at the joint. I accidentally tugged on the wire when pulling my chair out and the audio wire pulled out. It wasnt even that difficult a tug, but yes my own doing. Creative doesnt cover this under their warranty as they say its a normal wear tear, and that there must have been slack due to the lengthy wire ( i tied mine up since i dont like loose wire everywhere). Im going to attempt to call once again to see if I can get a unique rep that may well help me get them replaced.I would rate this greater if creative would be willing to support me out...its only been 2 month, they shouldnt be that fragile. :(

nabbed this headset while it was on sale, great buy, i necessary a worthy headset, and this was 1 of my very first choices. Have been extremely satisfied and haven't had a challenge with it because then!*great sounding*very suppressed, can barely hear anything outside of the cuffs *high good quality not a powerful surround sounding headset, but who can truly tell? The sound is still great

Comment:
Extremely comfy and covers entire ear (especially my elephant-sized ones); wonderful surround sound; detachable mic; volume and mic controls on clip on. Your ears will sweat if you wear them lengthy sufficient; cord is shorter than my previous set so standing up to stretch could be a issue. Got this at a incredibly great sale cost...sufficient for me to snatch this pair up despite already getting a nice headset - they had foam padding so with this pair, I replaced my tired, sore ears for sweaty ones.

Comment:
Comfort, sound, cost. What else? I have worn them for many hours at a time, hardly knew they had been there except when I would move and wire would move on shoulder. None These are excellent for the cost.

Comment:
These are fairly great cans, they are comfy and really good in the bass department, I don't think I have anything that will distort these unless I crank the bass on the eq to ridiculous levels. I'm not certain why men and women's headsets are breaking so rapidly, I've nearly had mine a year and pack it in my backpack to go to school with and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, I've also dropped them (on carpet so far) and tugged the cord by leaving the headset on and walking away. Removable mic, so I can wear these out with out looking to silly. The mic is also incredibly clear, friends have commented immediately after switching to this headset, even without having the silencer technologies.Extremely nice padding, I have big ears and the pads wrap around them nicely. I do locate my ears tend to go outwards additional than other people and it still fits just perfectly. $$$ I wouldn't spend 100 on these per say, picked them up during a shell shocker deal about ุ.The headband does mess up my hair, generally have to rinse with some warm water to stay away from seeking like i have a hairband in my hair, but i figure any headset will do this... so no egg reduction I bought two since I read so several critiques on them breaking or getting flimsy, but they ought to seriously manhandle their headsets, its not reinforced steal guys... its plastic stop thinking you can just maintain stretching it without it breaking. Anyways, these appear to be uncover so I just gave em away to a friend whose headset broke, and he looked at me like I was crazy for just handing them over lol.I was playing some electronic music and the had the bass up so high that my headphones were literally shaking on my head lol.Yeah creative drivers suck... get the pax drivers or one thing on the creative forums, that's what I had to do to get my sound cards working again...I play RTS and FPS, far more so RTS and I like to listen to music and play at the similar time although doing so, and contrary to other gaming headsets these are good to just listen to music to.Purchased fiveǟ񳏊 and utilised each and every day given that :)

This headset has great sound. The noise cancellation is rather good compared to what I am applied to. The volume and mute switch are located correct where I would want it. The head set is not reversible. I like becoming able to change what side of my face the mic is on. That's the only factor keeping it from five stars.

Superior-Sound Good quality is Wonderful. Really good bass, Wonderful for gaming, chatting, or music and movies.-Mic is very good, very clear. Adjustable and detachable-Ear component can fold Bad-Can get uncomfortableNow for the huge drawback that makes these not worth the funds.AMAZINGLY fragile. The chord is thin. Tiny. and the durability is horrible. I had a buddy of mine who had a pair of these, He liked them, I did too. Bought a pair, shortly afterward his broke - The fragile super thin wire had pulled out of the splitter - with relative ease. Much less than two months later mine did the identical thing. I keep them at the laptop or computer and take incredibly good care of my equipment, on the other hand with wires this cheap and thin it is inevitable. You will not get your warranty honored, and like a fool I bought an additional pair. 5 months later the similar factor has happened. Only took them away from the personal computer a couple of times to hook up to laptop. Very bad style. Do not buy these, You'll have to maintain purchasing a pair each and every couple of month - its the wiring. And creative has HORRIBLE customer service, practically non existent. They do not honor their warrant. These are Designed to break.

They hug your ears with sound and comfort. These are some of the most comfortable and best sounding headphones I've ever owned, and finding it at a severe discount for the duration of a sale was fantastic. The microphone feels truly flimsy, but it's worked quite nicely so far. If you don't get this and you want headphones or even just want some headphones, you will really regret it.

Good headset superior sound. Comfy on the ears. Immediately after a month and a hlaf of use the jacks fell off the cord. Soon after long use the top of my head hurt. *chuckles

Amazing headset. I shopped for some time for these. I lastly made the selection on the MKII Pro set and was blown away. Comfy (although a small adjustment at times is essential). Pretty excellent construction. Though,...... I have to have had a set with a weak connection at the junction. I reached back as usual and unplugged the jack and found that the wire removed itself at the junction for the microphone extension. I attempted seeing if I could reconnect these headphones (as I have with more affordable pairs) but come across the wires are too fine. I was given an RMA for my headset. Soon after four weeks, I received a replacement that was nowhere near the high quality of the product that I had bought. I am, at this time, a small upset with their RMA procedure and all the time I have been spending on the phone with them these past two days. I really like EVGA. Their support has been amazing,...but Creative is at the other finish of the spectrum. I have been put on hold (calling from cell - working with my time, as I can not appear to access their menus working with the keys on my two household phones). I get placed on hold for five - 10 minutes although they "check on it" and find I invest at least 15 minutes on the telephone as a result (this is a LOW estimate to be courteous and NOT seeming to exaggerate). I shouldn't have to invest so a lot time on the phone to get a replacement product of equal good quality. It is a 99.99 headset and they apparently feel that the 39.99 pair will suffice me for RMA replacement. NOT!! They once more have told me they will call back (I had to call them nowadays following they told me they would call me this morning,.... YESTERDAY). Atrocious support of item. I have utilized so a lot of Creative goods in systems that I develop,..... it appears that they had been a small a lot more customer oriented at 1 time.

Has very good sound so far. Hurts the leading of my head after wearing it for 15+ minutes. Think the padding on the leading component isn't sufficient or something.
