Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset Review

I think almost all of us remember a time - maybe even as recently as last night - when one or more of your family members shouted at you from their beds to turn down your *expletive inserted here* computer speakers. So reluctantly, you had to grab your...

Noise Cancellation for Team Speak and Skype ; 3D Effects When Combined With the Fatal1ty Sound Card Were Amazing ; Gaming Experience ; No Sound Crackle Throughout Each of the Tests ; Price

The Headphone Cushioning Was a Little Stiff to Start With. Possibly After Some Use it May Break in a Little Better

Once again, Creative changed my perspective on a few things. Apparently, my hatred for headphone gaming is starting to wane. The CMSS-3D technology lives up to the Creative standard and exceeds even my expectations and I was trying to set them pretty...

Creative Fatal1ty

Creative's Fatal1ty headphones may not tout any particularly unique or fanciful design features, but they are comfortable to use over extended periods...

Good microphone, comfortable, microphone is detachable and easily adjustable, in-line remote

Audio in general lacks substance, music tests proved these headphones aren't suited to music

Although the sound quality is better than adequate, it's not fantastic. Our main concern is that the audio lacks substance. However, this was more noticeable in music tests than gaming tests, so it's less of an issue here. The microphone is easily...

Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset review

Wendel's ear warmers

Good quality mic ; Mostly effective 3D sound

Not really needed if you have a decent enough soundcard

Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Not that any of us round here really care for Wendell's moniker palstered all over our gear, but it has to be said that the products that bear his name are all pretty good. The Zalman Fatal1ty chassis was a real beauty

Long-term comfort, Quality audio, Handy detachable mic

Iffy aesthetics?

Offering very decent sound quality for a mere £30, these cans punch well above their weight

Creative Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset

They may be extremely comfortable, but there are quite a few flaws in Creative's Fatality branded gaming headphones.

Creative Labs - Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

The chartermark of Fatal1ty, the gaming moniker of Jonathan Wendel, never really seemed to help with sales of associated hardware as far as we could tell, so it was something of a surprise when we picked ...

Not a bad headset, and a good, general all-round package for the gamer to enjoy. The lower price point helps a lot, though.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great after many years. At this price, unbeatable.

Any pair of proper music headphones $20 and up will most likely totally demolish any gaming headset. Gaming headsets tend to sacrifice audio for other features and gimmicks which is why this Creative Fatal1ty competes so well. Somehow the drivers used...

Very very good sound for a headphone at this price point. I bought them for $60 when they were still relatively new almost a decade ago. Very tight and controlled sound. Good mic quality as well which is a welcome addition. Pretty comfortable to wear...

Cheap, skinny cable with no stress relief so they break near the headphone jacks. Very teeny tiny wires inside the cables. Plastic coating insulated so a pain to remove the insulation and make a good connection. A general hassle to repair, but not too...
