Exclusive Voice Effects from Creative's Advanced Audio FX
Let them hear you, in so many ways! Now with Creative's exclusive Audio FX technology, you can talk like a chipmunk, a robot, or a duck. You can even sound like a 5 year-old kid with squeaky high-pitched voice or an 80 year-old man with quivering low-drone voice. Try it to believe it!

Creative ALchemy
Creative ALchemy restores X-Fi enhanced surround sound effects for great gaming. It provides multi-channel audio for legacy game titles running on Windows Vista™. Vista deals with audio in a different way to XP, and as a result certain legacy game titles, that use EAX or DirectSound3D (DS3D), can result in stereo output without any effects. Creative ALchemy is a powerful tool that restores the audio for a DirectSound3D game running on Windows Vista to its former glory - in full surround sound with hardware accelerated audio mixing, sampling rate conversion and EAX effects.

Premium comfort
Designed for comfort, the cushioned earpads and light, flexible headband reduce listening fatigue during intensive gaming sessions. The Arena headset is designed to meet the needs of even the most competitive gamer. It features a lightweight, flexible headband that reduces fatigue, and ergonomic, cushioned ear pads that remain comfortable even during extended gaming sessions. The contoured ear cups also provide great sound isolation, so you can concentrate on your gaming.

Detachable microphone
Let your fellow comrades hear your commands loud and clear with the detachable noise-canceling microphone which delivers precise speech delivery.

Bring the Same Sound Everywhere
The convenience of a USB connection allows you take the advanced audio effects with you wherever you go. Plug in your headset and enjoy the benefits of X-Fi enhanced sound, whether you are at home or gaming round a friends. The ear cups are reversible for compact storage, letting you take the headset wherever you go so you'll enjoy the same, consistent surround sound and gaming audio no matter where you're playing.
