Specification and features area are all laid out here.  From the flexible steal headband to the inline remote control.  Images of the package contents and the specifications are present as well.  Of note is the inline remote.  A common feature on all of Creative’s headsets, this one has an extra feature not seen on Creative’s lower priced units.  You have your standard volume control and mute switch.  There is also a switch for play/pause and to answer your phone!  If you’re playing one of the great gaming apps on your phone or just listening to your soundtracks, you can always pause and answer that call from the boss!

Both end caps on the box have additional goodies about the H7 Tournament Edition.  Right side gives us plenty to think about for software upgrades.  The XPlus Configurator lets you download custom presets right to the headphones without the need for software installation on-site.  The BlasterX Acoustic Engine lets you fully customize the Creative Sound BlasterX Pro-Gaming H7 Tournament Edition Gaming Headset your way!  As an eyeglass wearer, I appreciate that Creative is working hard to develop headsets that are comfortable to wear.  Lightweight steel headband and memory foam cushions help create a comfortable fit that doesn’t leave me with indentations from my eyeglass arms.

The left panel expands upon the H7’s many upgraded components.  New sound drivers, upgraded and removable mic, a sleek new look and programmable sound signatures are all expressed in more detail here.
