I guess you have to be a die hard WOW gamer to want something like that. On the other hand some of the features sound very cool!

 

[mickey21]

I'll stick with my Logitech G35, thank you very much...

 

[Onyx2291]

If it wasn't so expensive and if I heard it was good I would probably get it if I didn't already have a pair. That thing would never leave the house though.

 

[mtyermom]

Can I get one with the same advanced features but costing less without all the WoW related gimmicks?

 

[lancelot123]

USB? From Creative? So you can't even use these with a nice sound card?

I'll stick with my Sennheiser PC 350 tyvm.

 

[brother shrike]

They actually don't look as bad as I expected, but my G35 headset is perfect and it'd be a little weird to have a headset inspired by a game I don't play....

 

[ominous prime]

Bleh Creative..will stick with the Sennheiser 595's.

 

[cory1234]

Rocat Kave all the way

 

[micky_lund]

cheap

 

[sicpric]

Meh, I'm still digging my half broke, duck-taped together plantronics headset.

 

[vicsrealms]

Thank goodness, as I first read the article's title I was expecting a set of headphones that looked like a couple of Orcs attached to you ears. Thankfully, I was wrong. Still, I will stick with my Sennheiser PC350's.

 

[kelfen]

sounds good but I always question quality with these types of products

 

[falchard]

USB, lol. They don't even look comfortable.

 

[liemfukliang]

Where is X-Fi 2?

 

[jay2tall]

WOW, WOW people will pay anything for anything WOW.

 

[Scotteq]

From Creative, huh?

Well... As long as you don't run Vista or Win 7, and don't dare ever write fixes for their craptacuar drivers (and 'force' Creative to SUE you)... I guess they'll be OK.

 

[monkeysweat]

i wonder if some people think "hey, i'm not quite geeky enough playing wow for 8 hours a day, i need an accessory, hey big headphones that have wow design on it, PERFECT! - MOM!! CAN YOU BUY ME A PAIR??"

 

[theholylancer]

I wonder if vent spamming sounds like the kickass and bubble gum thing is there, all I can think of macroed sounds are the annoying ones rofl

 

[Guest]

Hmmm WoW headphones.... Can I get a pair looking like ..... Troll ears please!

 

[dark_lord69]

HRM... I think I'll stick with my Sony MDR V700 s
They retail for about $150 but you can buy them on amazon for $82.
They are high quality studio monitor headphones that use a 50mm driver.

Most quality headphones have a 40mm driver which will produce less bass and less volume. (I'll pass these overpriced "WoW" headphones)

 

[sliem]

F that. I use my monitor internal speaker. $0. Thank you very much.
If I want a headset, I'd pick one from local for $10-$25, not f-ing $100+.
Rip off.

When I heard WoW inspired I figured they would detect and then cancel out the noise of your friends asking if you wanted to go hang out, leave the house, or bathe.

I lent my Seinheiser headset to my kid, then found myself without a headset when I needed to use one since he was using mine. So without going to interupt his gameplay, I decided I'd hook up an XBox 360 controller + headset up to my PC and see how it works, since I've always found the standard 360 one ear headset to be pretty comfortable. Well, I hooked it up and was pleasantly surprised by it. Since it acts like a USB sound card, it doesn't interfere with your main sound card's output which is a bonus. So you can have Ventrillo working from the controller/headset and your game's sound working via the main sound card. Works nicely, people can hear me clearly, I can hear them clearly and keep the voice chat sounds seperate from in-game sounds.

Also way cheaper than going out to buy a new headset, if you already own a 360. Certainly not as good as my Seinheiser set, but much better than most cheap-o PC headsets for sure.
