 Customise the audio and ear cup colours with World of Warcraft themed software |
World of Warcraft audio console
The bundled software not only lets you get the audio setup right for you, but also continues the World of Warcraft theme. The control panel is World of Warcraft themed, and enables you to perfect the gaming audio and to change the colour options of the ear cup Glyph system. The software will work with either PC or Mac.

Each ear cup features 16 million colour programmable RGB LEDs to illuminate them in any combination of colours, using the provided software (which itself is World of Warcraft themed). You can keep one particular colour or set the earcups to cycle through a range of a colours. Each headset comes with two sets of Glyphs with Horde and Alliance Logos.
True studio audio experience
THX TruStudio PC is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience found in live performances, films, and recording studios - to the PC. THX TruStudio PC provides the latest groundbreaking technologies that are products of years of collective experience and research by Creative and THX. Together, these technologies deliver the fullest audio experience for music, movies and games, while remaining true to the source and intention of the artists who created it.
THX TruStudio PC Surround
Control the level of audio immersion in World of Warcraft. THX TruStudio PC Surround provides immersion control to enhance the natural sense of audio depth and spaciousness by creating virtual surround sound channels. Stereo content or multi-channel content played over the headphones will sound as if it's coming from all sides while voices remain centered in front and original balance and timbre is preserved.
THX TruStudio PC Crystalizer
Enhance music, movies and games to make them sound livelier. THX TruStudio PC Crystalizer restores the natural audio dynamic range that is lost during compression. This makes game audio sound as good as Blizzard originally intended, adding an enhanced level of realism for all your movies and games.
 Each headset is packed with technology and features a customisable Glyph system with colour LEDs |
Exclusive voice effects from Creative's Advanced Audio FX
Let them hear you, in so many ways! Alter your voice with VoiceFX voice masking technology, to truly take on the role of your World of Warcraft characters. You can talk like a chipmunk, a robot, or a duck. You can even sound like a 5 year-old kid with squeaky high-pitched voice or an 80 year-old man with quivering low-drone voice. Try it to believe it!
Creative ALchemy
World of Warcraft is a DirectSound 3D game, and as such benefits from ALchemy. Creative ALchemy restores enhanced surround sound effects for great gaming. It provides multi-channel audio for legacy game titles running on Windows Vista™. Vista deals with audio in a different way to XP, and as a result certain legacy game titles, that use EAX or DirectSound3D (DS3D), can result in stereo output without any effects. Creative ALchemy is a powerful tool that restores the audio for a DirectSound3D game running on Windows Vista to its former glory - in full surround sound with hardware accelerated audio mixing, sampling rate conversion and EAX effects.
Built-in rechargeable battery
The gnomes have been hard at work. No additional batteries are required and the headset is easily recharged even while in use.
Detachable microphone
Let your fellow comrades hear your commands loud and clear with the detachable noise-canceling microphone which delivers precise speech delivery.
Oversized padded earcups
Settle in for that epic raid. The headset comes with oversized ear cups with soft leatherette padding, for amazing comfort even during those marathon instance clearing sessions.
Bring the same sound everywhere
The convenience of a USB connection allows you take the advanced audio effects with you wherever you go. The enhanced audio features will work with any game and are transferable to any machine. Plug in your headset and enjoy the benefits of enhanced sound, whether you are at home or gaming round a friends. The ear cups are reversible for compact storage, letting you take the headset wherever you go so you'll enjoy the same, consistent surround sound and gaming audio no matter where you're playing.

I bought a set of these in April of 2010, after owning a series of headsets with and without wireless and microphone capability. The main draw of these headphones for me was the comfort of use over a long time, and a mix of wireless capability with microphone.
The headset is absurdly comfortable, the earcups large enough to accomodate the most elephantine ear such as mine. The wireless capability is produced through a USB dongle using bluetooth. It's range is pathetic (around ten to twelve metres before it cuts out entirely. The quality of sound is approaching entry-level bose headsets, or a high-quality Razor, especially noticable in the bass and orchestral ranges.
Sound good? It's very good. It does however have flaws. The main flaw and the reason I bought two (and now use a different set) is that they are built by frail little elves who believe design strength to be some sort of mythical beast that will never visit their little workshop.
The joints between each heavy ear and the bridge connecting them is made out of a few millimetres of plastic that would made a geriatric with brittle bone disease. If you happen to place your headphones on a velvet cushion after use: please ignore my 3-star rating and bump it up to 5. IN ALL OTHER CASES - your headphones will break, they will break if you drop them, they will break if you put them down hard, they will break if you sneeze and they unbalance from your head and land on your lap (another issue: they're badly balanced and will slip unless very secure)
The batteries are a classic example of lithium-ion life issues. They'll do well, but intensive use and extended charging without proper charging practice (fully draining the battery, fully charging every time) you will notice a sharp drop-off around the three to four month mark.
I haven't mentioned the creative sound studio due to a lack fo interest in it: I have a better form of software I use instead. It may or may not have merit that increases the worth of the product.
So let's put this down to specific pros and cons:
+ High quality sound that surpasses usual headphone problems.
+ Great microphone quality and it's a rare joy to have that alongside a wireless headset.
+ Comfortable
+ Excellent noise-suppression, bordering on isolation.
- Poor design means high risk of break and difficulty in repair.
- Extremely limited range in comparison to a RF set: If you want range, get a set of sennheisers.
- Battery eventually becomes a laughable wreck.
Overall, this product is fantastic to a limited crowd of enthusiasts who take good care of their headphones and enjoy WoW.
For everyone else: good but marred by liabilities.

I honestly didn't expect these to be as good as they are! The whole bundle reaks of that "something extra" package. The real gem here is the voice altering software, it's awesome! This has created an excellent atmosphere for my guild and I when raiding as the voices are extremely funny. From the orphan child to the village elder with Mal'ganis and female or male horde and alliance class voices to choose from. The wireless works really well as I can still hear the game over the headset when I've forgotten to remove it when nipping for a bio :-)
Does exactly what I want it to do and a whole lot more, top marks!

Took a bit of a gamble on these after reading some good reviews, i'm glad i did.
The sound quality for playing games is stunning, if your an audiophile look elsewhere, although music reproduction is by no means the worst.
Although pricey, i have been extremely pleased with this purchase, the wireless works perfectly, and i definately enjoy the extra emmersion in games that these headphones provide.
