Creative Chat USB Headset Feature 1

Communication

Converse Clearly

The Creative Chat USB headset ensures clear quality and reliability with every call, made possible by a noise-cancelling boom microphone that has the ability to filter out unwanted ambient noise in loud environments. This allows you to focus better while capturing your voice effectively, so you can be heard clearly for an uninterrupted call experience.

Creative Chat USB Headset Feature 2

Mute / Unmute with Ease

Don't get caught fumbling your way trying to mute or unmute yourself in a meeting. Simply pull the rotatable microphone down to unmute, and push it back up to its original position to mute. The swivel-to-mute function is easy to use and you will know exactly when you are muted. Alternatively, the Creative Chat USB also comes with a physical mic mute button on the inline remote to toggle between mic mute and unmute.

  • Muted- Solid Red
  • Unmuted- Led Off

Creative Chat USB Headset Feature 3

Hear Yourself Accurately

People have the tendency to speak louder than usual when they can't hear themselves; we know because we are guilty of it too. With the built-in mic-monitoring feature, press and hold to hear yourself clearly without the constant need to raise your voice. Speak as you would naturally and with confidence in any other calls with Creative Chat USB.

Creative Chat USB Headset Feature 4

Communicate Smarter with Smartcomms Kit

For Windows 10 users, you can download the Creative app and access the all-new SmartComms Kit!

Simplify the way you communicate with the help of a suite of smart communication features specially designed for online calls. With features such as VoiceDetect, which automatically detects your voice and automatically unmutes the mic as you speak, and Noise Clean, a feature that aptly cancels out any unwanted static background noises (The Noise Clean features work best for static background noises such as fans, air conditioning, air purifier, humidifiers, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, electric shavers, and even lawn mowers) during online chats, enjoy more productive and less disruptive calls with just a few clicks of a button.

Super Easy Setup

Plug it in, download, and go. The Creative Chat USB lets you communicate smarter in 3 easy steps:

1. Plug in the Creative Chat USB to your Windows PC via the USB-C port.
If your computer only has USB-A port, don't worry, we have also included a USB-C to USB-A converter for your use.
2. Download and install the Creative app onto your Windows PC.
For new users, start by creating an account with us.
For any existing users, you may sign in via any accounts you have with us, like your Creative store account, or other software accounts (e.g., Sound Blaster Command or Sound Blaster Connect).
3. Go to the SmartComms Kit module and make sure that it is switched on.
And voila, you're done!
To make further adjustments or control each feature individually, access the Advanced settings inside the SmartComms Kit module.

Guide to Smartcomms Kit's Advanced Settings

Advanced settings allow you to access and control each feature according to your environment and preferences. For example, you'll be able to set how long it takes for your microphone to be automatically muted after you've stopped talking, or the level of background noise reduction you want on your outgoing audio (what others hear).
