Creative are no stranger to the audio arena. They have been a big player in this department for countless years with the Sound Blaster brand synonymous to high-quality audio solutions for the enthusiast.

Today’s review continues the trait that Sound Blaster carries with it. The Tactic3D Sigma is a success within its own right – delivering great audio quality in the mid-price range.

In terms of audio performance the Tactic3D Sigma delivers rich audio – accurate, precise sound with a punchy bass to compliment. Switching from minijack to USB via the THX converter enables an upgrade to better sound quality and access to TacticControl software – bringing in yet more features to take advantage of. Music and movie audio quality does have its deficiencies, bass reproduction appears to be a little overwhelming at times but remember – this headset is primarily designed for gaming usage.


It’s nice to have the option of being able to use the headset via minijack or USB. The cable is a nice touch too being tangle-free and flat. Priced at approximately £75 inc. VAT (GBP) the Tactic3D Sigma is in direct competition with the likes of SteelSeries Siberia V2 and the ROCCAT Kave and is a great alternative.

The bottom line is: The Tactic3D Sigma is a great looking headset that delivers the audio quality that gamers are looking for at a favourable price.
