They are junk, don't waste your time and money, broke in less then a week, very cheep made.

 

[InnocentCriminal]

These are for the people that have WoW t-shirts, mugs and ball purses.

 

[crow1001]

Embarrassing TBH, and expensive.

 

[JTS]

It would be even better if Creative announced that they were going to release fully working drivers for devices they currently have.

 

[Sir Alex Ice]

Don't even bother, insanely expensive, crappy made INMHO. The only selling point is the WoW included in the name.

 

[Reefer86]

i saw these awhile ago, you have to watch the video tho if u find it, made me laugh hard at the sales points.

o yeah u can get a footpedal that you get the use with the headset to turn on / off voice communication........a footpedal LOL! basicly a push to talk button but a footpedal..wtf

 

[Delta6326]

i do not play WoW but the red one looks cool, but overpriced. im sticking to my Sony's they rock.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

That has to be the GHEYEST use of WoW for marketing. Why would I pay that much when a logitech for 25 dollars can give me what i need. I dont even use the headphones, my sound is routed to desktop speakers; which just leaves the mic to use

No F**KING DOUBT!!!!!

 

[Mike0409]

Might look cool, but i'd rather wipe my ass with them. I'm done with creative's crappy products and shitty support, had nothing but problem's from them.

 

[Sasqui]

Didn't Eric Cartman wear these? Oh wait, his were working so I guess not.

 

[fenurch]

Seen these a while ago on their website.
Don't play WoW and never will and these headphones look terrible.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

For the very off chance that you need a way to ensure you never get laid.

The foot pedal actually makes more sense than these junk headphones

 

[my_name_is_earl]

It look pretty. Hope it doesn't sound like cr@p! I needed to upgrade my all too static Steelseries 5H. Also, I can live without the led, just make the sound quality clear and strong.

 

[Scheich]

All this hate.. Whats so bad about a company that made very good products 20 years ago ?

 

[TAViX]

LOL! That's the worst joke I've heard from Creative recently. With that kind of price, I can buy some real PROFESSIONAL headsets, that, except for the useless fancy lighting, provide 1000000x better sound than those CRAPS!!! Creative, a big FAIL this time!

 

[z1tu]

my sound is routed to desktop speakers

That's a fancy way of saying "I use desktop speakers"
