Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma USB Gaming Headset

Hidden deep inside these goofy gaming headphones is a good pair of cans for music listening. Read on...

Pros: USB, detachable cord, sound quality, comfort, durability

Cons: Braided USB cable transmits sound to the headset. USB DAC is of modest quality. Requires some modification to get the most out of them.

No other headphone has surprised me in the manner that the Tactic 3D managed to.    I originally purchased them because I needed headphones to do a Skype interview, and I wanted something kind of ridiculous because I was going to be on video. The Tactic 3D seem like a perfect choice, with flashing LEDs on each ear cup.   When I first hooked it up, I installed the...

“ Bought this headset nearly 5 years ago, great bang for your buck, although the mic broke about 2.5 years after use, and the cable broke now after nearly 5 years. Very comfortable supra-aural, open design, easily wearable for hours at a time. ” --mueslo

“ its good if you only want to use for game audio and not game chat. I like it myself i use it for xbox 360, but is also compatible with pc for pc gaming. I believe they can work for ps3 but are not chat compatible and that is because they have to be plugged in to a xbox 360 controller in order to use game chat on xbox 360, but does not apply to pc that's just how voip works on a xbox 360. So...” --Full Grizzly

“ For some time, I'd been looking for a decent all-rounder headset that I could use for both gaming and for work, as my job requires VoIP calls. Previously, I'd been using a Turtle Beach (D)PX21 headset for this, but didn't want to purchase another after its earcup snapped off due to the mediocre performance while playing music. I'd tried and returned the Razer Tiamat 7.1, and most recently...” --Runefox

AGAMA A-500 Vibration Gaming Headset

“ These are THE BEST you can get for under 20usd, the first time I used them I thought the sound was boring, but after some EQ'ing and tweaking with my Asus Xonar DG they sounded brilliant, the bass is kind of distant but acceptable, highs are distant but acceptable too, mids are little overpowered but that is nice for gaming, my only complain is that soundstage and detail are very low,...” --wphantom

“ I've had these headphones for a few months now and don't really have very many complaints. It's got a good, crisp bass response. I can wear these for hours without having my ears sweat or get sore.   The virtual surround sound is less than satisfactory. It seems like all it does is get rid of the bass and make the treble higher pitched. Also, there is interference when using certain...” --2005chuy

Razer Electra Essential Gaming & Music Headset (RZ04-00700200-R3U1)

“ These things are HUUUUUUUUUUGE for what they have underneath. It's probably an overstatement because this monster of a headset isn't all it's really cut out to be. It's produced and advertised by Razer as a "Gaming Headset". In that assumption alone there's already a misleading information. For a pair of cans to be a gaming headset they need to have good output sound as well as good input...” --elm4171978

“ First, a necessary disclaimer to tell you that I've never owned any other headsets or headphones prior to these. So my review is perfect for the newbies. Additionally, I've owned these headphones for several months (I've lost count, but I bought them around September).   Pre-Setup The Vengeance 2000 comes with - The Headset - Wireless Dongle - Dongle Platform - Charging...” --Steamedonion

“ Do not get this headset unless you are considering amplifying it. It sounds bad without an amp.   My Experience: These cans sound nice when amplified/ bad when not amped. Good highs, okay lows, overall pretty good sound. They are closed and will block out the outside world. I have worn these for up to 6 hours at a time and still found them comfortable.    The mic...” --Th3 James
