Good for gaming. The Creative H5 have a great mic, a low latency wired design and a comfortable fit you can wear for hours. They also have a decently well-balanced and bass-heavy sound that should work well for gaming. Unfortunately, they're not the most breathable headset, so they will make your ears a little warm after gaming for a while. They have mediocre software support, and the lack of a wireless design makes them less convenient than some of the other gaming headsets we've reviewed.
