Creative Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset HS-800 (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Looked around for a long time and I was really overwhelmed with all the reviews. One writes Top and the other flop. For years I had a Sennheiser PC 161 and was very pleased. It has held at least over 6 years before it got wobbles, which after 6 years was ok for me.

Since this time I had not so much money on my PC and have upgraded recently and the market is flooded of cheap headsets, I've resorted to Creative. Have it now for 3 days in use and am very satisfied. While the earcups have a comic forum, but I'm starting to get used to it. Also listen for the music gives me the headset. But I also have a sound card with headphone amplifier in it. It is the Asus Xonar DG and am very satisfied of her sound.

The headset sits quite well, even though I have a good-sized head. The processing is sufficient for this price class. The detachable microphone is nice but I'll let it always tuned. The voice quality was described to me in the TS as well. Even games should be treated with the headset without any problems. The volume control and mute the microphone could be better processed. Hope I get there is not as fast wobbles. The cable is long enough to connect the headset to the PC behind.

When wearing longer, I noticed that the headphones a little Knackgeräuch of itself is when you move your head. Therefore, a star deduction. Does not interfere directly if loud music or playing games but when it is quiet, it sucks a bit.

Per
+ Price / performance very good
+ Good sound even in music
+ Good microphone
+ Long cable
+ Ear cushions are very soft

Contra
- Removable micro is meant nice but you do not need
- Volume control and mute Micro does not look very stable from (hope there is no wobbles)
- Now and then a crack, which did not happen through the headphone itself, but because of the plastic.
- Form of earpads quite small. For smaller woman ears but if you have something bigger ok, then it may be because what press.

Therefore 2 star deduction. It's a shame, but not everyone has so little ears that the headset sits perfectly. Even eyeglass wearers may have problems. Although I am also one, but I have a spectacle me very slim arms.

For the price I am pleasantly surprised. A headset of Phillips, which I bought recently, is already defective, although it was more expensive than this.

For music fetishists however, it is not where my slightly higher claims are also satisfied with the headset. It's a good all headset !!

Edit 31/07/2013:
Headset far as good and sound really great for the price. However, the cable a little annoying, the twists repeatedly even though I always seeing to it that it should not do.

edit 03.08.2013:
So now I am a little annoyed by the headset. As written before, the cable twisted constantly. One can unravel it and extra careful that it does not twist and few days later clutter has again (see photo). That alone would be a reason for me to give it back and therefore I give the headset only 2 stars !! Schade Creative: /

Edit 04/10/2013:
I now have the Sennheiser PC 320 bought and am much happier with. The 30 I had to save myself for the Fatality -.-
