As the high-end Sound BlasterX H7 headset, the H5 Tournament Edition does offer a comfortable and light chassis, which does incorporate large 50mm drivers. The TE version drivers do feature extra tuning in order to obtain clear and loud audio output, a fact that does not only benefit gamers, but also people who watch lots of multimedia content.
In this article, we will concentrate our attention upon one of the latest gaming headset models from Creative: the Sound BlasterX H5 Tournament Edition. This specific model is practically an upgraded version of the previously launched H5, with upgraded drivers, a new microphone, while keeping the other goodies available to the user. The product is shipped inside a Sound BlasterX themed cardboard enclosure, which does feature the main product highlights on the top cover, along with the compatible platforms; we are talking about an analog Stereo headset, so the list of compatible devices is quite large:

The opposite packaging area does advertise the software BlasterX Lite solution that does work with any sound card/CODEC available on the system and is meant to add extra filters. A more recommended upgrade of this solution is the Sound BlasterX G1 mini USB sound card, which can deliver true 7.1 HD surround sound:
The main headset components are also explained on the bottom area of the packaging; here we will also learn of the product manufacturing date along with the serial numbers:
After removing the two plastic seals, we are able to check out the inside contents:

The bottom layer is holding the accessory box:
The Sound BlasterX H5 TE presents itself with an all-black color scheme and features a durable reinforced aluminum chassis with a low overall weight, for ensuring a comfortable fit during longer gaming sessions:
The exterior portions of the ear cups are covered by a brushed aluminum cover, an aspect which gives the product a professional look:
The rest of the cup chassis is made of light black plastic, while on the top we can observe a grill, part of the audio optimization process:
On each side of the headrest, we can spot an inscription of the respective audio channel, so we would place the product correctly on our heads before use:
