In this unboxing gallery, I feature photos of the World of Warcraft Wireless Headset by Creative Sound Blaster. The front of the box covers the basics.

Read my Geek Gifts 2010 review of the World of Warcraft Wireless Headset.

There is a little more detail on the back, including the interchangeable ear cup lenses, control panel software, and optional push-to-talk foot pedal.

Underneath that cardboard is where the headphones sit held in by plastic wrap and a triangular piece of cardboard. In the box shapes at the top and bottom of the headphones are the other various components.

Inside the box are the headphones, a pair of ear cup lenses for each World of Warcraft faction, a prying tool to remove the lenses, the USB dongle, a USB charger cord for the headphones, the detachable microphone, a quick start guide, and a handy carrying pouch.

Within the software, you can alter the color emitted by the ear cups to virtually any color under the rainbow. I could not be a self-respecting member of the Horde without using a red color behind the Horde lenses. Also, the volume controls are built into the edging of the left ear cup.

The rest of the controls are located on the outside of the left ear cup. From the left to right: power button, USB charger port, microphone jack, and (barely visible) microphone mute / wireless pairing button.

The first screen within the software contains the color selection options. You can choose the color, intensity, and pulsation as well as set a timeout on when the light turns off.

The ability to alter your voice to sound more like your character would be great for role players or anyone wanting to annoy their Guild Leader.
