 World of Warcraft. I'm pretty sure a couple people play this game, so it makes sense that there are World of Warcraft licensed Blizzard products out there on the market. Now this is a World of Warcraft wireless headset from Creative. See, they've got their Sound Blaster branding on there. They've also got THX certification for this particular unit, and that would be all very fine and interesting, but if it's not a neat product with unique value-add features, then the World of Warcraft label doesn't really do much for it, especially for a headset. I mean, with something like a WoW mouse, for example, where you've got better integration with the game as a feature, then yes, that's definitely very World of Warcraft. With this, we have aesthetics, but we also have some pretty cool features that do appear to be optimized for MMO gamers. So, number one is...oh, okay, there's the headset, but let's do accessories first, okay, accessories first. And if I can get the cardboard packaging out, very nice packaging, very clean, very simple. Okay, back here we have like a pleather case. That's nice, okay, so when you're carting around to Lens, then you'll have somewhere to keep your headset so it won't get all dinged up and scratched up. Okay, here we've got more accessories. Sorry, guys, it's hard to talk while I fish for accessories in the boxes. Okay, I think I got everything down. So, you got a quick start guide. This is a wireless headset, so there is a little bit of setup involved. You've got to charge your headset, download and install software. You also have to pair the headset with your transmitter, and then you can set up the World of Warcraft audio control panel, and last but not least, you wear the headset. Okay, good. There's a little list of all the included stuff, but we're going to go through that anyway, so why don't we just go ahead and do that. So, first we have our carrying case thing. So, let's have a look at this. That's actually kind of a nice little add-on, because I haven't really seen any headsets that come with a convenient way to pack them up and carry them around. So, you've got a little World of Warcraft logo there, Sound Blaster logo on the other side, throw your headset in there, and it does fit, so they did manage to do their due diligence. You know, I've seen worse things on products, you know, than a carrying case that doesn't fit, so that's excellent. We've tested that aspect of this headset, and it looks like you can put your transmitter in there, or maybe that's for your, no, that's probably for the detachable headset mic. Yep. Alright, so what do we got in here? I guess one of the things we're going to find is a detachable mic, okay, so that's nice and flexible, so you can position it where you need it to be. Okay, you've got a little jack there, plugs into the headset at some point, so I'll show you how that works later. Here we have a screwdriver, so that presumably is for the interchangeable lenses, which I will show you in a minute. Here we have a charging cable, so that's just your standard USB, A to mini, whatever that is, it's a 6-pin, it looks like. 5-pin. Okay. Alright, so, here we go, let's go ahead and start taking the packaging off here, taking off all the protective seals and what not. I can't find the USB transmitter, I don't know what happened to it, so, you know what, give me a sec guys, I'll get all this off and then I'll find that transmitter and I'll be back. Okay, so we've got some safety instructions here, so no cars, no motorcycles, never drive or motorcycle, always take your flying griffin, or whatever it is. Okay, then we have our USB transmitter here, as well as the sync key, there's a little LED indicator light, looks very World of Warcraft themed and it also comes with a little thing to attach a lanyard or other carrying strap. Plugs in by USB, as you've probably figured out by now, and what I realized while I was off camera was that this has two pouches, so I'm guessing one for this and then one for like this and maybe this goes in there too, so you have a way to carry not only the headset but also the accessories. We also have an important notice here, please note Sound Blaster, our World of Warcraft, our voice tap, is now known as Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Voice Tap TM, okay, so be very clear, if you're ever telling your friends about voice tap, you gotta make sure you get the proper notes in there, don't wanna do that wrong. Okay, speaking of voice tap, actually let's talk about voice tap, so voice tap is pretty cool, that's one of the features of this headset that is very very relevant, so voice tap is an optional accessory here, let's check out the headset itself here, so right left, there you go, it's gonna look a little something like that, very cushiony, hold on a second, okay you can't hear it, but it sounds really like squeaky in your ear when you push on it like that, but there's a lot of air and foam cushioning in here, very very comfortable, my ears actually hardly even make contact with the inside of the earphone in any way, like whether it's along the outer rims or on the inside where the speaker is, so that's a very good feature for World of Warcraft, cause you know when you're raiding or doing whatever, it takes a really long time, it takes a really long time. You've also got a good amount of foam padding here on the top, once that gets broken in, it's gonna definitely conform to your head and it's gonna make this even more comfortable as time goes on. Okay so here are the interchangeable lenses, so you can see there's like kind of a lion looking dude on there now, and then here there's a little shield guy or something, I actually don't know what that is, I'm sure someone can post a comment on the video and tell Crazy Russian and myself what these are. Okay so there's that, you've also got volume control, so here's volume minus, volume plus, I'm a huge fan of volume control built right into the side of the headset, it's so convenient, oh okay you know I can't hear it, just go like this, it's awesome compared to actually taking your hand off the mouse, because I very much prefer to take my hand off the keyboard, that's my left hand, versus taking my hand off the mouse for game control. Okay here we've got our charging port, okay, cause this is wireless remember guys, but I'm very happy to see a built in battery versus the other way around. We have our mic connection right there, okay, we have a mic mute slash connect button, awesome, outstanding, love it, so the mic mute is also built onto the left earphone so you can easily mute your mic and you know like mom I'll be five minutes for dinner or whatever it is that you need to say. Mom hot pockets! Okay, on off, that's good, you want to preserve your battery life, and on the other side no controls, so this is definitely geared for right handed people, so left handed people will have to you know adjust things a little bit, but I really don't think it's the end of the world of Warcraft. Alright, other features, volume system, interchangeable headphones, detachable microphone, USB wireless, voice effects, cool, so you can morph your voice into different World of Warcraft characters and creatures with voice effects technology, that's kind of neat, and then let's talk about that tapping thing, here we go, Sound Blaster World of Warcraft voice test, oh they forgot the TM, no way, look at that, okay, map your push to talk key or your favorite macro to the optional foot control pedal, keeping your hands free to control the game, so that way you are able to keep yet another mouse binding key free to do something else and you can just use your foot pedal to you know cast spells, you know what, you should bind it to like move forward, right, right, foot pedal, move forward, awesome, right, okay, what else do we got here, the audio control panel, and I think that's pretty much it, so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the World of Warcraft TM-CR headset from Creative, don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos.
