Creative Technology has just launched the new Sound Blaster Blaze V2. The Blaze was already a decent and surprisingly affordable gaming headset. However, the Creative Sound Blaster Blaze V2 looks to be even better!

Sound Blaster Blaze V2

The Sound Blaster Blaze V2 looks smart enough with an all-black theme, complimented by plush premium velvet padding on the circumaural earcups and headband. This slim and light design means that the headset weighs just 187 grams, which is going to raise the level of comfort during those long gaming sessions.

Drivers

The headset is equipped with a set of precision-tuned 40mm FullSpectrum Neodymium drivers. Creative say they’ll “deliver impactful bass and crisp audio designed to create an exhilarating experience.” and I don’t doubt them. Creative are my favourite audio brand, and the Sound Blaster name has been around for decades and has never steered my wrong in the past.
