Test: Creative SB Tactic 3D Alpha

Konklusion

Således nåede vi enden af testen af Creatives nyeste headset Tactic Alpha. Som det fremgår af artiklen var det en yderst imponerende oplevelse både hvad specifikationer og design angår, men så sandelig også med henblik på ydelsen. Efter at have afsluttet min test vurderede jeg umiddelbart at sættet ville lægge omkring 500-600,- kroner lejet baseret på samlekvalitet og ydelse. Derfor blev jeg meget overrasket da jeg gik på edbpriser og så at det kan erhverves for et stykke under 400,- Det er simpelthen imponerende.

Innovation/Teknologi - 5
I forhold til at der er tale om et headset, der normalvis blot er baseret på en mikrofon og et par ørekopper har Creative taget det et godt stykke videre. Der er mulighed for analog tilslutning, men med USB-lydkortet har man en del ekstra muligheder igennem den medfølgende software. Derfor 5 point.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
I kassen er der ikke det store ekstraudstyr. Selv softwaren skal hentes på internettet, men det mener jeg ikke trækker ned da man alligevel vil helst vil have nyeste version. Derfor middel karakter.

Design/Layout - 5
Jeg er vild med det simple design, og det faktum at mikrofonen kan afmonteres. Derfor 5 point.

Software/BIOS - 4
Softwaren der er lavet til headsettet indeholder en masse muligheder for finjustering, men det er alligevel ikke noget jeg gjorde særlig brug af fordi produktet virker så godt 'out of the box'. Creative får alligevel 4 point fordi de har gjort en del ud af softwaren.

Ydelse - 5
Som det fremgår af test afsnittet er ydelsen imponerende god. Det er et headset der er utroligt alsidigt og gør det godt over hele linjen. Især musik oplevelsen var helt i særklasse og fuldt ud på linje med langt dyrere headsets.

Pris - 5
Prisen er intet mindre end fremragende. 370,- kr er virkeligt en skarp pris, og undertegnede overvejer alvorligt at købe dette sæt, eller Sigma-sættet der sælges for knap 500,- kr for at få 50 mm drivers.

UK summary

And so we reached the end of the test of Creatives newest headset Tactic Alpha. Asthe test showed, it was a very impressive display with both specifications and design, but definately also considering performance. After the test I evaluated the headset to cost in the 500-600,- DKK range, based on the quality and performance. Therefore I was quite surprised when I went to edbpriser.dk and saw that it can be obtained for a mere 400,- That is nothing less of impressive.

Innovation/Technology - 5
Considering the fact we are talking about a headset, which normally consists of a microphone and a pair of earcups, Creative certainly too it a step further. You have analog connection, but with the USB soundcard, you have quite a few extra features through the software included. Therefore 5 points.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
There is not exactly alot of extra accessories. Even the software has to be downloaded, but I do not think that drags down the score, since you always want the newest version anyway. Middle score seems fair.

Design/Layout - 5
I love the simple design, and the fact that the microphone can de detached. So 5 points.

Software/BIOS - 4
The software made for this headset contains alot of possibilities to fine tune, but that is not anything I used alot, since it works so well out of the box. Creative still gets 4 points because they put some effort into the software.

Performance - 5
As the test showed, the performance is very impressive. It is a very diverse headset which performs well in all categories. Especially the music experience was in a league of its own and on par with more expensive headsets.

Price - 5
The price is nothing short of amazing. 370,- DKK is really a nice price, and yours truly is seriously considering buying this set or the Sigma set, which is sold for around 500,- to get 50mm drivers.
