(More customer reviews)I spend my time listening to music at the computer primarily to concentrate and/or drown out ambient/family noise.I also play FPS games.These headphones sound just as good as my Sony headphones and seem to fit my head better.I've only had them for a day so I don't know what the durability will be but for the price it's hard to go wrong.
Prior to these I lived in a pair of Sony MDRV6 headphones for about 11 years until they started to disintegrate.My requirements for a replacement were that they:
- should be less than $100
- needed to muffle sound when nothing was playing
- Should be over ear and closed design
- should have a normal 3.5mm audio plug (not usb)
I've bought 4 headsets to replace the Sonys and the HS-980 is the final solution.
First, I had a Logitech Clearchat headset from Best Buy.Fair on the ear design.Lasted about 6 months.
Second, I bought Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000.Flimsy and USB.Good sound.
Third, I had a pair of Plantronics 367 and they don't even compare to these ones.Plantronics way too big.Mic quality poor.Poor sound quality.
Things I really like about these:
- A bonus feature they don't mention in the spec is that the mic boom detaches.
- It's also really nice to be able to fold these flat so that I can put them in my laptop bag.
- They also work well with a normal mp3 player.
- The inline volume/mic control can be clipped onto your shirt pocket or something.
Creative makes great sound cards but has made serious mistakes over the last 15 years with most of their other products (dvd drives, mp3 players, speakers, etc).In this case they got it way right.
