Just recently, Creative has sent us one of their peripherals meant to help users which are frequently on calls in different applications such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and so on. The product is a very light USB headset featuring a noise-cancelling condenser microphone but also 30mm Neodymium drivers; unlike previous models we have tested so far, this one is over-ear, which can pose sometimes difficulties to people wearing glasses but let’s not get ahead of ourselves and test out the product first!

The HS-720 V2 headset is shipped inside a compact cardboard packaging; on one of the box sides we will note the main highlights of the product but also its very low weight of about 135 grams:

Moving on, we will note the product specifications, along with the list of package contents:

The opposite side will inform us on the functionality of the in-line remote, but also the list of compatible conference applications:

On the back, we will note the main product features in multiple languages but also the product code name and serial number:

After removing the top packaging layer, we will note an additional cardboard layer in which the headset is held securely:

Besides the HS-720 V2, which is wrapped inside a transparent plastic bag, we will also receive the Quick Start Guide, the Worldwide Compliance leaflet but also the Worldwide Warranty leaflet:

The Quick Start Guide is quite useful because from here we can learn the main product components but also how the remote buttons do operate in calls or when working with other multimedia content:

The headset does come with a simple design when comparing to other on-ear models and right from the start we can note different thickness for the cable on the left and right side of the remote; this was done specifically in order to increase product comfort and make the upper cable more flexible:
