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.

These sound awful. Initially thought I hadn't plugged them in properly but they are just not very good. I got some beats headphones as a freebie and they are much much better. The only thing these have going for them is that the are very comfortable.

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.

Here you see the latest headphones from Creative Labs, the Sound Blaster X H5 Pro-Gaming headphones. The headphones were recently released at Gamescon in Cologne, Germany. As with music the quality of the gaming experience depends a great deal on the quality of the headphones you use.

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

Plenty of gaming headsets overdose on lights, extra features and superfluous additions that don't actually give any improvement to sound quality, making you question why you've paid over the odds for it in the first place.

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.
