Creative Sound BlasterX H5 Gaming Headset Review

Getting back to overall comfort and styling the H5 features an oval shaped over ear design.  In the center is a full range 50mm driver and is also uniquely tilted to create a mini acoustic chamber to minimize resonance within the earcups. 

Simply put, they have positioned the speaker to better match the profile of your ear to give you more direct sound into your ear holes.

The area behind the speaker is also large and sealed to better enhance bass response when paired with a headphone amplifier like the Creative BlasterX G5.

As with most gaming headsets the BlasterX H5 comes with a removable microphone and cable lead and connect to the left side of the headset.

The main audio is a 4-pole 3.5mm cable with inline controls for volume, microphone mute and play, which can also answer your mobile phone.

Along with the main audio lead you get an extension splitter with headphone and microphone jacks.  This allows you to connect the H5 to your PC or any other device with dual connections.

The removable boom mic features a noise reduction feature so that your voice can be heard clearly even in a noisy room.  It does with this two microphone inputs which are both shielded by a foam windsock.  The mircphone itself can be moved into any position for the best clarity.

Both of the audio connections are styled such that when connected to the H5 headset they look to be a part of the design.  This might be a minor detail but speaks to their attention to detail when designing the BlasterX H5 Gaming Headset.
