CLEARER, LOUDER, HARDER, BETTER! The Sound BlasterX H5 radiates with comfort in every element of the design. It's made up of reinforced steel headband and aluminium architecture.

Special Edition
Stand Out from the Rest, with Sound BlasterX H5 Special Edition
Specifically designed for our pro-gaming teams, the H5 Special Edition is distinctly branded with a BlasterX label on both side-plates.
Fans could use this chance to take their loyalty to a whole new level. Every time they put them on, it's a way of showing their appreciation for great sound and comfort, and what they consider as the ultimate weapon for their gameplay!
Design
Engineered to be Lightweight, yet Durable
Designed with a durable steel and aluminium architecture, the Sound BlasterX H5 is light to wear, and bring around, yet tough enough to maintain its structural integrity from everyday wear and tear.
Tilt Driver Design
The Sound BlasterX H5 is designed with a tilt driver implementation that creates a mini acoustic chamber to minimize resonance within the earcups. The result is that you experience extra clarity across the frequencies and better sound separation where every detail heard is crisp and clear.
Audio Performance
Responsive Audio Cues for High Performance Gameplay
Experience your game the way it's meant to be heard. The Sound BlasterX H5 is equipped with large, responsive 50mm FullSpectrum drivers that deliver astounding sound.
Rated at 118dB/mW, the Sound BlasterX H5 is among the loudest gaming headsets of its class. Feel the tremor of every bone-shattering explosion and hear the rattle of gunfire in your gameplay, like no other.
Dynamic Sound Signature
The Sound BlasterX H5 comes pre-tuned out of the box with a dynamic sound signature 3. What this means is that we tuned this headset to not overemphasize on any particular frequency domain. The end result is a solid and natural sound for enhanced clarity and precision for gamers.
Hear Only Your Voice
The detachable noise-reduction microphone filters ambient sounds so you can be heard clearly, even in a noisy environment.
When you're not gaming, detach your microphone from the headset and you'll get a pair of compact headphones that's ready for great music on the go.

REVIEWS
GadgetViper
These (Sound BlasterX H5) are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. Even after an 8 hour gaming session while wearing glasses, they are still perfectly comfortable. I simply cannot fault them.

One thing I really like about the headset is the headband; it's more robust than it looks, springing back into place after we bend it up so that the headband is nearly flat. Creative did this by using steel underneath the padding instead of plastic. While doing this with other headsets often makes me cringe, the Sound BlasterX H5 happily takes the bending in stride.

The Sound BlasterX H5 isn't the loudest headset out there but it's plenty loud enough in our opinion, especially given how well it attenuates external sounds, and it also doesn't distort a maximum volume like so many cheaper models. Music is handled very well with bass notes that are nice and warm but not overpowering.
