    hey i watch a youtube video of the Fatal1ty Gaming Headset and i learned that it has the possibility of causing caner in California i looked on the web and i thank its due to the Proposition_65 act thing. is this any thing to be seriously worried about?

    Everything causes cancer. We have electromagnets and waves pulsing through our bodies almost all the time, apparently, both cause cancer.

    So yeah, don't worry about it.

    Homosexuality also causes cancer. Cool.

    I'd personally avoid it anyway. Creative are not a good company to deal with.

    i like creative stuff, the sound quality of its products have always trumped all others and their mp3 players are like the only high quality players that still support drag and drop.

    but i'm not to keen on the head set, my mate has one.
    if your in the room with it you can hear everything they can hear so they might as well have it on the speakers but that also means i get feedback when playing with him is i can hear everything i'm saying his end.
    and his mic is so sensitive that that again i hear whats going on in his headset through mine and i can hear is bad lunged heavy breathing.

    I don't like them because of the noise interference my £150 soundblaster experienced, making it unusable. When I contacted them I first got all the excuses that it was everyone else's fault but theirs, when I got past that they admitted it was a flaw in their hardware, said they knew all about it and that they had absolutely no intention of fixing it. 'We have your money, now fuck off' essentially. I am never buying their products or recommending them again as a result, and a lot of other people feel the same for the same reason.

    hum i thank the warning is because the solder wire inside of it, so as long as the cord doesn't break i will be fine, i saw the same warning on new egg for all of there headphones. and i thank(or at least hope) these will be good ones. they got good reviews, and there suppose to be oxygen free so theirs no static. besides theres are the only ones i could find that are in my price range and that seam good quality. if bad i will just return to amazon

    Breathing kills you, so to make you less likely to die from oxygen will you reduce your breathing?

    yeah yeah breathing kills you, eating something burnt kills, getting a cut kills, every time your cells divide your one step closer to death, but you would do anything to speed that up. you want to die as slowly and as painlessly as possible

    It's California. Their laws say everything causes cancer.

    I bet if you look at the fine print of half the stuff you use daily, it will say "Contains a substance known to cause cancer in the State of California" or something similar to those lines.

    The classic response is "Well thank God I don't live in California, or I'd be in trouble!"

    not if the substance only causes cancer in california (i.e its scaremongering).

    but unless they are genetically different from people in other states wouldn't it cause cancer for all humans?

    it doesnt cause cancer for any humans, they just say it does. Thats why I said 'scaremongering'
