Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS

By Don Labriola (pcmag.com)

The X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS ($280 street) targets hardcore gamers. In addition to an I/O drive, it comes with 64MB of X-RAM designed to improve the sound quality and performance of compatible games. This is a feature worth having if you're into high-end ...

Enormous feature set. Stunning audio quality. Outstanding interface. Can restore badly recorded or compressed content. Optional MCE-like interface with remote. Flexible I/O box fits into a 5.25-inch drive bay, plus 64MB onboard RAM.

Expensive.

The Fatal1ty adds 64MB of onboard RAM and an I/O breakout box to the basic X-Fi platform. Although these features make a superb board even better, you'd need to be a serious gamer to find them worth the extra money.

Simply awesome

By Gordz (newegg.com)

This headset is; really amazing.

Probably the best headset I've ever owned for the price, this is my second purchase of this headset in these last two years. My last pair only broke because of how extremely rough I was with it, they went absolutely everywhere and I dropped them almost ev...

The only thing I could possibly think of would be I would like a bit of a longer cord, it's fine where it is... but if I want to have the wire go around a few thing into the back of my desk I'd feel cramped

Hooray!

By Noustigres (newegg.com)

Overall a great headset for its price range, nothing flashy but that just means it isn't bloated with useless junk.

Wonderfully comfortable. Wore for 3 hours as soon as I got it and they just feel better as I start wearing them in. Sound quality is what you expect for this price. Microphone quality is stellar! Volume and microphone switch is small and doesn't weigh dow...

Aesthetically, they look kinda odd. Remind me of a bug's carapace. Which if you don't care about that kind of thing its ok. I also really don't like logos but both are completely opinionated. I have a small/normal sized head and these do feel slightly snu...

finally, a decent headset with a mic

By an_audiophile (newegg.com)

Don't let the marketing throw you off. I would recommend something cheaper if it could also sound this good and perform as well, but I just don't think it exists. I demo'd a pair at blizzcon 2008 and that's how I knew what I wanted. I thought Logitech cou...

Fits snuggly and comfortably around my massive skull. bass is nice, and finally the sound is good in a headset that includes a mic. Works well, I have had no problems with it. I would swear it is 5.1, but it's actually not
