The wait is over

Uses: Music, movies, and gamesSystems: PC and PS3Pros:-Great sound quality that can be cranked up loud. These headphones drown out the crazy neighbor lady yelling about her lazy, mooching husband.-Comfortable through 3+ hours of use.-Included software provides plenty of sound and voice customization.Cons:-Sound leaks out of the headphones. Your wife is going to hear the muffled sounds of fragging coming from the headset.-Only one system can be hooked up to the Recon 3D at the same time.-Very small delay on audio.Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Omega Wireless Gaming HeadsetI first tried this headset out at E3 and I was impressed with how well they drowned out the sound of the convention floor, allowing me to hear their demo game loud and clear. The sound quality is great, unlike the other headsets I tried out at E3 (Sorry Turtle Beach, don't set up a demo with headphones that cackle and break at every loud noise). The power, volume, and mute mic buttons are all located on the left earphone of the headset. They're fairly simple to press, though you have to be careful which button you're pressing. The wireless headphones are crystal clear up to 15 feet away, but starts to cut out past that. If you're close enough to watch TV/play games, then you're close enough to use the headphones. The microphone cancels out noise that is being sent by the system, so when explosions are going off in the game while you're talking, your voice is the only thing picked up by the mic. There's a very small delay on the audio (1/4 of a second maybe), due to the wireless connection, which can noticed if watching for it, but movies can still be watched without being distracted by it. Charging the headset is easy, you just plug in the Micro-USB cable, and the headset can still be used while charging.Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D THX USB External Sound Enhancer for PC, PS3, XBOX 360 and Mac - SB1300The Recon 3D connects to the Xbox 360 and PS3 through the included Optical and Micro-USB cables. The PC just requires the micro-USB cable. The guide tells you where the audio settings for the consoles are, and what you need to turn on, but a little more tweaking may be needed depending on how your system is currently configured. Using the included software, you can change the audio settings on your PC and save it to a profile, then export it to the Recon 3D and use it with your consoles. I haven't done extensive testing to see how much better the Recon 3D improves audio compared to not using it, and songs playing from WinAMP didn't seem to have much of a difference, but I did notice that playing songs off YouTube sounded better.Tips:-If you get this bundle to use with multiple devices, keep the Micro-USB cords plugged into the systems and just swap which one is plugged into the Recon 3D.-Don't use "Dialog Plus" when listening to music. The option is to allow you to hear dialog in movies clearer, but I've found it causes some fade in/out issues with music.-When using the headset volume controls, feel for the beveled arrows. The power button is flat and glossy.-The power button requires you to press and hold for several seconds. The mute mic and volume buttons are single-press; holding those buttons won't do anything.-Set your PS3's audio input to the Recon 3D. Set the multi-input audio option to off when you want to use the headset and switch it on whenever you want the sound sent to your TV/Speakers.

By Media Man
As a DJ and avid gamer I'm always in the market for new and decent quality headphones. I've had so many over the years I've lost track as to the actual number. There always seems to be something new for PC, gaming consoles and DJing. As I always enjoy testing out new headphones here are my thoughts on the Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D and Omega Wireless Headset Bundle;Pros+ Superb THX/Dolby/Scout sound and noise isolation. The bass is warm and rich, better than the majority of headphones I've owned.+ Set-up was easy for my PC and PS3.+ Respectable wireless range depending on construction of your home/apartment. I live in a three level home and the signal was crystal clear on the second floor with the pc in the basement den.+ Charges quickly and yielded an 8 hour battery life.+ Sits comfortably on your head (comes with a con see below)+ Detachable microphone.+ Headset controls convenient, easy to use and include mic mute, volume and on/off buttons.+ Soft blue lighting on the side of the headset look neat (very Tron-esque) even if it's just cosmetic.+ Can use the headset while it's charging.+ Large ear cups swivel flat.+ Multi-platform use.+ Solid construction.+ Wireless.Cons- Only the included headphones can be paired with Recon 3D currently. I tried two other pairs of Creative Sound Blaster Headsets I own and was unable to pair them with the device.- Charging cable is too short. I have to use a USB extension cord.- No Charging station/Stand.- Earphones are faux leather and don't breathe well resulting in quite a bit of heat and sweat around our ears. Also, if you're a glasses wearer (like me) the headphones can really cause your cause your frames to dig into the side of your head. Rather painful. Unfortunately, this is very common with most over the ear headphones.- Software included with the headset seems more like a gimmick rather than anything useful.- Encountered a few echo and feedback issues while playing some multiplayer PC games.- No case or cover.- Pricey.At the $250 range, the Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D and Omega Wireless Headset Bundle are quite good, especially if you're a big PC/console gamer. Essentially this headset is identical to the Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Omega Wireless Gaming Headset. Thus, you're paying an extra $75-$100 for the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D THX USB External Sound Enhancer for PC, PS3, XBOX 360 and Mac - SB1300. With the higher purchase price I'd still be somewhat wary about purchasing this headset if any of the Cons I listed concern you. Of course, not all of these things will be cons for everyone. Therefore, in the end it's all a matter of personal preference. Despite these Cons it's a very functional and quality headset all around.

Great combo package - Gaming
By vibe-Kraag
After receiving the headset, the first thing I did was try it out on my pc because it had to charge a minimum of 5 hours. The computer easily detected the Recon3D and headset, I proceeded with the installation of the Recon3D software. Everything went fine, easy to install, until I came to my first bug... My friends told me that I was causing an echo on teamspeak. I went further in the problem and tried to discover the cause. Ah, there it is, the installation of my soundblaster Arena and X-fi card conflicted with the Recon control panel. I could not adjust the Recon settings at all, had to turn of the creative console launcher first. After that, everything went fine, no more echo on teamspeak.The next thing I tried was plugging in the headset and soundcard to my ps3. I run the ps3 to my pionner elite sc-27 by hdmi, and then to the Pt-AE4000 for the image. of course, my other headsets I would plug straight in the home cinema front earphone plug to get a nice 7.1 surround sound. How to plug the Recon now... Well I tried both ways, with the provided optical, bypassing the SC-27, and through the earphone jack of the sc-27. I am glad to say, that I had better control of sound through the sc-27, but at the same volume, both sounded excellent. I loved the bass coming from the headset. It is very confortable. In games, the scout mode is a must, sorry can't sneak up on me unless your dead silent now...With 3 possible modes, THX, Scout, or both off, depending on the setup, this headset is a must, I can definately say bye bye Turtle Beach, sorry to have met, happy to part.The only problem I have, and I had wished Creative would have given it to us, is a possibility to charge without using the ps3 or a computer. A 110V plug with USB connection or even the stand from the original package would have been great, and a 25 foot USB cable for when we are out of juice, other then that, this is the best by far headset I have tried.
