Sound BlasterX H5 Tournament Edition is a good, minimalist attempt at an affordable gaming headset. But you're probably better off spending a little more for Creative's higher end model.

Comfort; Durable; EQ frequency designed for games; Tight directional mic

Low mid bump; Disappointing bass response; No digital audio

Our experience with the Creative Sound BlasterX H5 was quite positive, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. If you prefer a neutral sound and would rather manually adjust the resulting acoustics through an equalizer, try Creative's Sound BlasterX H5 out for yourself.

Patented ear piece and frame suspension; Great comfort & fit; Good mic quality; Superb audio experience

Price; Only one-year warranty

I love these headphones. Noise cancellation is good and you feel immersed in your music or game. I took the analog version, so I can use it on my cell phone, computer or PS. I used to have a USB/analog, I really don't like those. Too many cable and the USB cable is always a pain at the end.

These are a fantastic set of headphones, easily the most comfortable I've ever used. I wasn't familiar with the brand beforehand, but they definitely seem to know what they're doing (where gaming headsets are concerned anyway).

This product is a waste of money. I am never buying from HDE ever again.

The headset is super light and comfy. Seals out external sounds very well. Bass is tight and punchy. Not all is completely rosy however, as some sounds (such as some cymbals) seem over-stressed. This was a great deal when it was on sale for $110.

Sound quality; Bass; comfort

Occasionally high pitched sounds are over stressed; could use more clamping force

I have reviewed so many headsets in the past month alone. Audio can really be so different to the person that your asking. Everyone hears sound differently. Gaming headsets can be critical when it comes to just the right moment, for that perfect defeat of your enemies.

Headsets are devices I've avoided most of me life. Being a PC gamer, it seems odd to say this. On the other hand, when I would try a headset, I would find them, hot, uncomfortable, and lacking the type of sound quality I've come to expect from a good pair of book shelf speakers with a quality...

Nice gaming Aesthetic; Quality Construction; Very Comfortable; Excellent sound and mic Performance

None

Worth every penny I paid.

My wife only lets me use headphones so I started a search; First bought Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset; Liked them and tried several others but always went back to Creative; For several years I used them and noticed the Creative Sound Blaster Inferno.

There are some very important features that every gaming headset should have and at the top of that list is comfort. Some may argue that sound quality or features are what define a gaming headset but, if the headset don't fit well or becomes uncomfortable after a short time then it isn't very good.

Comfortable Headset; Lightweight; Good Sound Quality; Detachable Microphone

PC audio plugs are not well marked; Speakers are quiet and require more volume
