Creative is not a known brand, eh? As for them being wired, they have better sound quality than the vast majority of over-ear Bluetooth cans, for sure.For those that are not randomly hating with misinformation, these are pretty good closed back cans, and are great at this price.

these headphones were quite popular back in the day as they are a rebadged version of the denon d1001.

MSRP was $100 for them or ~$70 during good sales.

Creative is/was a well known company in the world of PC audio. Maybe they were before your time or you weren't into PC audio. shrug

I bet 50% of us OG slickdealers had creative soundcards in our first home built PCs.

The previous version of this headphone was THE $50-100 headphone to have 10 years ago along with Philips X2.

I guess not everyone is up on technology. Creative Labs made the better iPod back in 2006 with the Zen Vision M.

Still do! Wanted to use onboard motherboard sound for headphones but wanted separate audio outs for a 5.1 system, so I added a Creative Labs Audigy FX PCIe and it has been excellent.

Absolutely, this is famous Foster made Denon cans rebadged by famous Creative as famous CAL!
I still have original one bought who knows how many years ago - I remember I just added some little sound damping Polyfill material inside cans and replaced cable with high grade one. This one is second gen - SE (Second or Special Edition?) which tuned little different with more bass I guess. But i prefer original classic tuning.
But I guess some are too young to know about Creative and CAL! and maybe even Denon! shake head I remember that time - these HPs where big deal when Costco started selling them for 50.

I love the msrp prices on woot. They probably go out of their way to find the highest and the most unreasonable price to make the sale price look like a deal. This is not a known brand and it's wired. Why in the world would anyone pay 60 to get this new?
Creative not a known brand? LMAO kids these days...

And yes, no so long ago these were in fact $60 headphones, and very popular ones at that. You can hit up CamelCamelCamel or Keepa for price history, and Head-Fi or similar for reviews.

Nice find op. This was $20 a few weeks ago when posted it. Better at this price.

It's ok. Not super tight but not super loose either in my opinion. My head is fairly small to average sized. The cushion on the top though felt a bit hard, so I might get a head band cushion or something.
