Sound BlasterX H5 Gaming Bundle

These (Sound BlasterX H5) are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. Even after an 8 hour gaming session while wearing glasses, they are still perfectly comfortable. I simply cannot fault them.

One thing I really like about the headset is the headband; it's more robust than it looks, springing back into place after we bend it up so that the headband is nearly flat. Creative did this by using steel underneath the padding instead of plastic. While doing this with other headsets often makes me cringe, the Sound BlasterX H5 happily takes the bending in stride.

The Sound BlasterX H5 isn't the loudest headset out there but it's plenty loud enough in our opinion, especially given how well it attenuates external sounds, and it also doesn't distort a maximum volume like so many cheaper models. Music is handled very well with bass notes that are nice and warm but not overpowering.

Overall, the Creative Labs Sound BlasterX H5 pro gaming headset is exactly what you would hope to get out of an analog, pro gaming headset. They have great sound quality, great construction, and a reliable microphone that actually filters out some background noise.

Creative’s new Sound BlasterX H5 stands as a perfect example of why a proper stereo headset can still compete with most modern 7.1 and 5.1 virtual surround sound models.

It sounds fantastic, nearly as good as my more expensive cans. It’s light and comfortable for multiple hours of wear. It’s durable, with a bendable steel frame. And it has a detachable mic that manages to cut out background noise and capture clear, quality voice.

...the rich details come very useful in FPS games where every footstep matters. The soundstage is also very good and can compare to audiophile headphones. As one of the best all-rounders, Creative Sound BlasterX H5 competes with Cloud II well and if you want to use your gaming headset for music as well, the H5 is the best pick.

The Creative Sound Blaster Brand is back and in a big way. Creative found the cost/performance sweetspot with the BlasterX H5. A worthy challenger to dethrone the HyperX Cloud II as the best $100-150 tier gaming headset.

...these headphones deliver a velvety, maybe more balanced sound that doesn’t overemphasize the low end. And because of the tilted drivers you really do end up with more clarity which I think serious gamers will really like and come to rely.

The Sound BlasterX H5 is an excellent analog headset. It has the look and feel of quality in every aspect while managing to have a great sound as well. Every detail is accounted for from how long the cable is, to the quality of the case so you can easily pack it up and take it places. The only minor quibble I could come up with was a slight lack of crisp in certain high-pitched action sounds, but this is extremely minor indeed considering how great the music experience is. From just a quality and performance standpoint, this unit is a slam dunk.

By all accounts, the Sound BlasterX H5 succeeds on all fronts quite well. It may not boast a wide range of complex (or unnecessary) features, but it provides top quality headset essentials in a comfortable, durable package.

The Sound BlasterX H5 Headset is quite amazing. The complete over-the-ear design is extremely comfortable, I was able to wear them for 5 hours of gaming with zero complaints. The sound was so good I was opting to play with them on even when noise wasn’t an issue.

As far as music and moves goes. Again, the H5 impresses. The headset has a nice chunky sound when needed (for example the rock genre) but detail as required. Movie vocals are crystal clear (again benefiting from that low end clarity we noted) and there is plenty of power to explosions and the like. This continues into the gaming environment where the H5 excels.

Aesthetically pleasing

I love this stand, for me there is no other save place to put my headset on after I'm done using it on my desk. and when I travel and take my headset with me, it goes in his pouch when I'm not using it so no matter what it's always taken good care off

It's ezy to put your head set on and away

Im very much happy with your product great service thank you

Good build and the sound is awesome. Thanks Creative!

Have tested various option and found the product quality is good.

Excellent Sound Card, I am very pleased with its sound quality.

Surprisingly!! great sounding card for games and music. It brought back the confidence I had of creative products. Software worked perfectly with my Win7 64bit :P (which was the main issue I had when upgrading my winXP to win7) had an old Audigy music. Each and every software and hardware provided, worked seamlessly and brought a user friendly 'controllable' environment, yet simple too use. Great Product I rate it as 4.5 stars..lol would be 5 if it was slightly cheaper. :P

What a great card! Fantastic sound quality, works great with Windows 10 preview. Wonderful piece of kit! Great for gaming and great for musicians! I love it!
