Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset $20 + Free Shipping (expired)

Quote from Deusxmachina : Did two of them break or what?

1 pair got its cord in the vaccum cleaner, the other pair got its cord chewed up by my infant daughter.

Quote from evilmomo : I have owned 3 pairs of these - and every pair the mic crapped out after 3-4 months of use.

Never had a problem with the mics on any of the pair I bought.

Quote from durpy : i've owned these for more than a year and i never use them anymore. the volume setting doesn't go too high and the cloth surrounding the ear part collects lint like crazy

I think the volume setting is relative to your soundcard. Do you have a creative card with X-Fi? The crystalizer is freakin amazing. Yes is does collect lint like crazy, but its on your head, so who cares. Other earphones collect earwax paste on their fake leather padding.

I have no idea if these can be used with a PS3 or XBOX since I don't have either but they use a standard 3.5mm mic jack along side the 3.5 headphone jack. Inline volume controls and mic on/off switch. If either console takes these I can't see why they wouldn't work

FYI, ear pads are a bit itchy. Cheap velour/felt fabric is the culprit. Itching does go away after a while
I don't think they are tight at all and I have no patience for tight headphones

Sound wise they sound like a $40 headset, so they are a good deal at $20 on sale. Some better options in the $40/$50 range

Construction is pretty crappy indeed, but as a gaming headset that shouldn't matter too much at this price range.

I only use them for gaming that requires a mic or voip. Probably not great for music. Sonically they don't have much in the way of separation and sound stage isn't great if you require one. It's not bad for the price, just not something you should expect

Thanks!

Is there anyway to use the mic for things like Skype if it doesn't have a USB? I can't get just standard headphones to work on Skype

Use with Ps3?

got one.. ive been waiting for a headset to go on sale. thanks

In for one. It'll be my first headset

Quote from sticky : Anyone know, Will this headset work with Xbox 360?

The audio will - the mic will not unless you have a Miamp or something like that

these vs siberia steel series neckband?

Thanks, bought.

I would avoid these, they sound ok, but the build quality is crap. A friend and I each bought one of these 1-2 years ago and both had issues with the mic crapping out. My friend also had issues with his computer not recognizing them after 3 months. But who knows, maybe these newer versions are better.

Had a pair for the past two years. Works great, though after about an hour you may want to shift the pads a bit.
Also the cable is a bit thin, I didn't have any problems with it yet, but if you're careful with it you'll be fine.

bought and works great.

make sure you plug in the mic firmly inside

Bought a pair for my brother for Christmas for about $25, I've been waiting for these to drop. He uses them frequently and says they sound good and are comfortable.

I have been waiting for these to go on sale again got one last year at this price,
been excellent, getting one for the wife since her el-cheap-o's broke...
