Creative Sound Blaster EVO ZxR

An expensive gaming headset that delivers excellent sound

Comfortable fit ; Clear mic quality ; Enhancing SBX audio processor

Expensive ; Bass-heavy ; Plastic build

If you have more than £200 to spend on a gaming headset these will not disappoint. We just wouldn’t wear them outside of the house.

Creative Sound Blaster EVO ZxR review

An all-round headset offering PS4 audio, NFC, Bluetooth and PC and Mac soundcard.

High tech ; TT pass-through ; Noise cancelling ; NFC works ; Decent sound

No 2.4GHz ; The price!

This is a great headset that does a good job with music, movies and games - it's not for audiophiles but the features on offer make it a superb all-rounder. I like the Creative Sound Blaster EVO ZXR headset more than I was expecting to. They sound...

Creative Sound Blaster EVO ZxR Review

Taking a step up from the EVO Zx, we explore the differences provided by the powerful Creative EVO ZxR and see why it deserves your attention.

High end headsets become a matter of subjectivity and use. Do you love audio? Do you require a product that can provide excellent audio in every aspect of your day to day life? Do you really want to do away with those pesky cables?

Amazing Sound, Built Quality not so much

I would not recommend these to anyone. Plastic is not building material it's for toy's. Did you even test the headband?

The Sound was crisp and clean. they where light weight so they didn't kill my neck after hours of wearing them. Blu-tooth work very well. they where loud if you wanted to pump up the jam.

They broke on the headband on the left side right above were you adjust the position of the ear cup where this piece of plastic is screw-ed in. Both pairs I had broke in the exact same place. so i didn't RMA for a third as i could only imagine it would...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Expensive, badly built, noise cancellation does nothing

Considering the price of these headphones, they fall wayy short of expectations. Should be noted that you can't use the Mic & Stereo output with a computer at the same time, the headset will switch to a mono mode which Windows sees as a separate audio...

- Wireless - Built-in rechargeable battery with USB charging

- The noise cancelation does nothing, I also own some Bose QC25s and there's a clear difference when those are turned on - The large play/pause button is loose and rattles around - The headphone system beeps (like when activating pairing, etc.) has no...

Build quality issues

Good sound quality, NFC makes bluetooth connectivity easy on enabled devices.

The plastic arch that connects the two earpieces together is cracking and pieces of plastic continue to fall off at a regular rate. I have emailed support about this several times over the past two weeks and have not received any response. Sound...

Decent sound, but very fragile

Pretty pricey, but if you are very careful with it, you might get some value. But I would recommend reading or looking at other reviews before deciding.

The sound quality is rather good, and I did enjoy using the android control software. Bluetooth connectivity works well between my laptop and tablets. Noise cancellation seems to be pretty good. ( I live next to a train yard, so there is always a...

Durability. I found that the plastic support pieces between the ear pieces and the headphone have cracked and broke. Even after patching that back together, the battery now seems to not take a charge or last longer than a few seconds.
