The Creative Chat comes with a standard USB adaptor but is natively designed for USB-C. The inline remote also has volume controls and a play pause button for your media which happily works with Spotify or Apple Music while you’re working.īut it’s the generous 2.1m cable that’s the real treat here. Hold the mute button for a couple of seconds and you can hear your own voice played back into your ears. There’s also a lovely bonus feature that lets you check your own levels to make sure you’re not shouting. It even happily glows red when you are muted, just to let you know you’re safe. If you want to speedily mute, there’s a mute button on the inline remote on the cable that comes in handy. The swivel-to-mute mic is just resistant enough to make sure you’re only ever bringing it down when you want to speak, but it’s not the only mic control.

Finding a comfortable fit is easy thanks to all of this sponginess, and it means there’s very little sound leakage if you’re sharing an office. The bright orange accents inside each cup make for a stylish splash of colour on all that black too. The leatherette padding and foam combo feels positively luxurious at this price point, and the on-ear sensation is a gentle hug with no vice like grip. Then there’s those ear cups, which can best be described as cosy on-ear marshmallows. And where many earcups just have a swivel to ensure comfort, the Creative Chat has an innovative ball and socket style joint to make sure that you find the right fit against your ears. The metal headband extenders are sturdy too so it doesn’t ever feel like you’ll break the headset just trying to make it fit.
