Creative pumps out $99 HN-900 noise-canceling headphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesCreativeHN-900
Fact: not everyone's willing to pay a premium to enhance their personal listening experience. Fortunately for those of you who like noise cancellation and a flush bank account, Creative's just taken the wraps off its $99 headset that'll do the trick.

Razer Tiamat 7.1 gaming headset delayed again until February
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesRazerTiamat 7.1
Razer's Tiamat 7.1 gaming headset was already running late, and now it's been pushed back again. The company puts the delay down to its "relentless pursuit of quality," and promises shipments will be made sometime in February. To make it up to customers who've been waiting for their chance to listen to Modern Warfare 3 in true 7.1 surround, Razer is giving away coupons for a free t-shirt and flask, along with free shipping — though it made the same offer last time it delayed the Tiamat. Alternatively, a host of simulated 7.1 options are available for those tired of waiting.

Samsung isn't letting CES go by without introducing a few new accessories for its mobile devices. A pair of Bluetooth headsets are on tap, the HM1800 and HM6000 (the latter of which boasts a pair of mics for noise cancellation ) but, oddly enough, it the company's "your sound" wired models that are getting the bulk of the attention. The EHS-60, 63, 70 and 71 all offer a twist on the wired stereo headset model. The high-end 70 and 71 are crafted of aluminum and include welcome features like anti-tangle cords. The most interesting, though, are certainly the asymmetrical EHS-63s which feature an in-ear bud for higher frequencies and an open-air speaker for low-end. Check out the PR after the br...
