Summary: The Creative HS-230 definitely targets the affordable audio market that is super easy to use with decent sound quality for its price

Affordably audio!
The Creative HS‑230 is a lightweight no‑nonsense wired headset built for clear communication and everyday use. Its on‑ear design, soft cushions and adjustable headband keep it comfortable during long work calls or online classes and at just over 100 grams it barely registers on your head. The boom microphone is also a noise‑cancelling condenser unit that does a solid job cutting down background chatter and keeping your voice front and centre. F

Connectivity is straightforward as the HS‑230 is plug‑and‑play via a 3.5 mm AUX connection and Creative includes a USB‑A adapter for laptops and desktops that lack an audio jack. Inline controls on the cable provide quick access to volume and mute without diving into software menus.
Audio is driven by 40 mm neodymium drivers delivering clear mids and highs that suit voice calls, video meetings and casual media playback. It’s not positioned as a music‑focused headset but for communication‑first tasks it performs exactly as expected. As a result, Creative markets the HS‑230 as a practical option for work and study and that’s where it fits best and further, it’s light, unobtrusive and easy to slip on and start using with no software, no setup and no fuss.
Final Thoughts?
In Australia Creative’s official store lists the HS‑230 at $49.95 AUD with retailers like Officeworks typically sell it for $49 AUD while Mwave has it slightly cheaper. All in all, it’s a well-designed and comfortable headset that is perfect for students and officer workers looking to access Zoom, Teams and other video conferencing options.
