"The sheer realism that we were hearing really drew us into the game...the huge impact of bass could be felt with every explosion and burst of gunfire."--[H]ardOCP.com, February 2011
"Creative wins the happy ear award for most comfortable headset."--Game Informer Magazine
"The headset is at its best when it renders nuance noises, like walking, water dropping, or wind blowing. I heard all sounds in rich depth, even while listening to games and movies where explosions, loud screaming, and violent actions are prevalent."--Macworld.com, Sam Felsing, May 7th, 2011
