Designed in conjunction with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel to perform at the highest levels of MMO and competitive play, this second-generation gaming headset offers extreme comfort for hours of continuous use, clear voice communication, and dynamic, precise sound. CommandSound: Powerful Neodymium Drivers for Precise Sound

When you're in the middle of battle, you need every advantage you can get. Thanks to two large 40 mm drivers powered by powerful neodymium magnets, the MKII will capture every rumbling explosion, whizzing bullet, or clanging sword on armor in vibrant detail. By accurately producing every massive or subtle audio cue, the MKII will give you the edge to hunt down your enemies with ease. The headphones are designed with an over-the-ear fit that provides maximum sound isolation, further enhancing sound quality so that you can concentrate on the gaming at hand. Add the system's audiophile-grade eight-foot oxygen-free copper (OFC) cable with gold-plated stereo mini plug to the mix, and you've got a headset that delivers extreme clarity throughout.

ComfortGear: Design for Hours of Comfortable Use

This review is from: Creative Labs HS-980 Fatal1ty Professional Series MKII Gaming Headset (Black)

I spend my time listening to music at the computer primarily to concentrate and/or drown out ambient/family noise. I also play FPS games. These headphones sound just as good as my Sony headphones and seem to fit my head better. I've only had them for a day so I don't know what the durability will be but for the price it's hard to go wrong.

Prior to these I lived in a pair of Sony MDRV6 headphones for about 11 years until they started to disintegrate. My requirements for a replacement were that they:

- should be less than $100

- needed to muffle sound when nothing was playing

- Should be over ear and closed design

- should have a normal 3.5mm audio plug (not usb)

I've bought 4 headsets to replace the Sonys and the HS-980 is the final solution.

First, I had a Logitech Clearchat headset from Best Buy. Fair on the ear design. Last...
