USB wired headset for calls and meetings
The Creative Chat USB headset connects through a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port and uses 40mm drivers with a 20Hz-20KHz frequency response. A noise-cancelling boom microphone filters ambient noise and swivels up to mute or down to unmute. It weighs 0.45 lb and includes a 6.90 ft cable for desk setups.
USB audio limits and platform support
The analogue-to-digital conversion happens inside the headset, so quality is bounded by the USB audio class implementation and the 100Hz-10KHz microphone response at -42 dBV/Pa. Windows 10 32/64-bit or higher, macOS 10.14 or higher, PS4 firmware 6.0 or later, Switch OS 5.0 or later in docked mode, Android 8.0 or later and iPadOS 13 or later on USB-C devices are supported.
Upgrade from basic headsets or built-in audio
Replaces low-cost stereo headsets that lack a dedicated noise-cancelling mic and hardware mute control. The jump is worth it when you need consistent voice pickup in noisy rooms and want mic monitoring to avoid shouting. It is not for buyers who want wireless freedom, surround sound, high-resolution music playback or a detachable microphone.
