![]() (It’s also a little longer than we expected.) I’m happy to report that the 2.4GHz wireless technology works great. The other piece of hardware is the wireless dongle, which features a glowing blue power light and a sync button. The mic is a flexible boom that attaches to this earpiece, and you can quickly remove it when you don’t need it. The left earpiece features nice, clicky buttons to increase or decrease volume that are easy to find without taking the headset off to look at it the power button and microphone mute are in the same area. Other emblems for the various WoW classes and races will be sold separately in the future. The PC software lets you change the color of the lights, cycle between colors, adjust or pulse brightness, or simply turn them off. Detachable Alliance and Horde emblems, backlit with adjustable LED lights, sit on each earpiece (the headset comes with a pair of each emblem). The design is quite good, but features World of Warcraft themes quite heavily. The cans turn 90 degrees so that you can comfortably hang the headset around your neck. After a few hours, you’ll want to take them off just to give your ears some air. They lack the “open air” design of some headphones, which means they don’t breathe and they block quite a lot of outside sound (which is either good or bad, depending on your particular gaming environment). I wear glasses, and I had no issues at all with wearing the headset for hours on end. The closed circumaural cans feature large stereo drivers and very thick, soft pads. Still, the World of Warcraft headset has a solid feel and a relatively light weight for its size–a key component to wearing a headset for long gaming sessions. The build quality is high, though there is a little more plastic and a bit less metal than we normally like to see. Creative did an excellent job on all fronts. A great PC gaming headset should have excellent sound reproduction, a high-quality microphone, good sound-processing features, and a comfortable design. ![]()
