CREATIVE 70GH013000001 Sound Blaster Tactic3D Omega Wireless Headset (Black)

First of all when i got them, i spent several hours just to sync the headset to the basestation, i needed to contact Creatives support to do it, it wasnt fully explained in my manual.

When i finally got them up and running i found the sound to be great.

After a while i heard an irritating *pulsating* low-frequent sound, i read from other reviews that the logitech g930 had this issue.
I just couldnt stand it, so i swapped usb ports, plugged out the other soundcables, changed sound options etc.

Finally i found the problem, its the led light from the earcups that got this noice!
The earcups have a *pulsating* light, luckily in the drivers that you download for the headset, you can change the light to pulsate slower/faster and to have more or less light.

I turned it off, and the sound dissapeared, if i got low-light and no pulsating, its ok, i barely here it.

The charging cable to the headset is very short, maybe 20cm. And the basestation is permablinking even when the headset is off, just a waste, hope it wont break.

For me the volume buttons on the earcups just moves my windows sound bar like 1% per click, and i cant click and hold. 10-30 clicks every time you need to lower/higher the volume is pretty much a joke.

Battery life is not great nor bad, its ok, if i still were a "pro gamer" it wouldnt last the entire nights, never. Also need to plug in mini usb every time you charge.

As you can see, ALOT of bad things actually... and i didnt even tried it for consoles.

+ Great looks and comfort.
+ Great sound
+ Wireless ofc :)
+ Fits great with my Razer Lycosa keyboard and my Razer Deathadder mouse :)

- Install
- Volume controll
- Noice from earcups - need to lower the really nice blue lights to get rid off
- Blinking base station even when headset is off, need to plug out the usb..
- price is high for all negatives.

Great headset if you get used to the negatives and use it for max 5-7 hours per day and can control the volume some other way than the headset.

Had ear force previously, these dont compare, wish i had had bought ear force again. Not as comfortable, fidly to charge and not as easy to operate on head, sound isnt as good either not enough options

These really are a must-have if you're a heavy user of PC entertainment media - I've actually binned my speakers in favour of wearing these whenever Im at my machine: Theyre wireless so you dont feel "bound to the desk", and theyre not anything like as heavy as I imagined from the robust looking images.
Yet robust they are - lovely build quality and very nicely designed - they dont look cheap or cobbled together at all.
The sound is perfect - crystal clear and a full, rich, 3D sound with minimal leak; so if youre using it in a room where people are sitting it wont irritate them. I also found they handle sound from music and movies beautifully (I was very impressed that when watching a stand-up show, the laughter track wasnt shrill as it was with my other earphones) - And I found I could actually use them on lower volume too and still get perfect sound quality - so its better for my ears in any case!

The microphone I found a bit useless for me and cant really comment on its performance, as I never use it; but the great thing is it can be unceremoniously torn off, so you dont feel like some sort of co-pilot.
And the stand is non-invasive when not in use, and holds the headphones securely and neatly when you want to hang them up. Charging is of course an essential activity with them being wireless, and again - fine for me as use was long enough to watch a movie, or listen to an album; but I think during abuse testing I got a maximum 6 hours use before needing to recharge them - so if youre a marathon gamer you probably would want more life between charges (and the charging takes a while too)

The star however is dropped for me because I could NOT get them to work using my xbox. Tried all sorts - no joy. As most of my gaming is xbox based, and they claim to be xbox compatible, Ive had to drop a star from an otherwise perfect bit of kit: so if youre a PC gamer I cannot reccomend enough: if youre a console gamer, unless you have better luck than me I would avoid.
