I love this because there is an unspoken code at work: 1) Headphones covering one ear, I'm busy, but you can talk to me for important things; 2) Headphones covering both ears, I'm really busy, I will look at you funny when you surprise me by tapping on my shoulder; and 3) ear buds that no one realizes you are wearing, they explain every detail of whatever they came to discuss and then are frustrated when they have to start over.
Sometimes I wish everyone better understood that both ears covered means I'd rather NOT have to listen to you right now. lol

Great sound quality stands up to many other big-name brand Bluetooth headsets. Bright, crisp sound with good bass, not overpowering or muddy. On-board controls are convenient. Discreet microphone still picks up your voice clearly. USB connectivity enables many cool features on your PC, and sounds awesome. Custom EQ, and even voice changer in Creative's desktop app. Light weight for hours of steady use, but does not feel cheap or fragile.
Not the most comfortable ear cups; The padding is thick, but a little stiff, they are on-ear, not around-ear. Ear pad material is soft, but can cause sweat. I recommended against using the standard headphone jack, because no features are enabled this way, making the sound very basic. There is no PC app support when using Bluetooth on a computer, so wireless on your PC has no extra features.

During my first month of use, a small metallic piece on the right side of the headset moved out of place or broke. Now my right headset creaks when it moves. Kinda annoying, expected more for the price. Im in teh process of RMA. Sound quality for games is good, but I didn't notice that much different from their older model. It is extremely uncomfortable to wear for long term. If you have big ears, don't buy it. I was expecting comfortable headsets as in reviews but its not. I like that you can answer calls when your watching a movie using the headset and it automatically pauses the movie too. the USB cord seems alittle thick to use, but does seem to be more flexible over a period of time.

Decent headphones in which I would not spend more than 80$ out of pocket. I had gift cards so I used it towards this. Great for gaming but terrible for active use. Bluetooth cuts in and out at times. Wired quality is great. Squeaks a lot when I wear it not sure if screws were tightened too much during manufacturing. However, since my experience with best buy is definitely the worst ever, I would never see myself purchasing anything from best buy again. Customer service could not offer me any assistance with my purchase.

These are a great headphones that are durable, loud and have lots of bass. Good fit with good portability and sound controls. These headphones are truly unique and worth the buy. These might not be the cheapest headphones, but they do last and work great.

I bought these on clearance. Not knowing much about Bluetooth I thought they would be wireless. Well, they are for everything except my computer. The Bluetooth works well with my phone. I was heard clearly by the person I called. I played music through my phone which worked awesome! However, when trying to sync with my PC there were no compatible drivers. So I need to connect via USB for my PC.

Sound quality was awsome!! Power button and skip buttons way to small have to take off headphones just to find them and very hard to press. Wireless Bluetooth was awsome although audio doesn't quite match when watching video

These headphones have amazing sound. They work well with all of my devices. I was a little frustrated with the pairing at first but it was my fault because I didn't read the instructions.
