 Comfortable Headset/Mic with great sound October 9, 2006

Excellent sound from the built in DSP - Almost as good as my 5.1 surround speaker setup. Crystal clear reception from the mic on the other end based on feedback from others in-game while listening to me talk. Headset cord length more than adequate. Very comfortable ear foam - even after hours of gameplay.
Some people have reviewed this item and claim to have had trouble with this headset. Specifically, they can hear sound fine, but the mic seems not work in games but works fine in windows. This is just plain false - the same thing happened to me initially. This is a USB headset and you have to realize that most games are designed to search for your sound card or mobo's default mic as opposed to the headset's mic. The reason being, that many people like to have a separate mic only for talking but want to hear the game sound on their PC speakers. Obviously, if you are reading this, you probably want an integrated solution like I did.
Here is how to fix this: Go into Control Panel / Sounds & Audio Devices. On BOTH the Audio and Voice Tabs for the Sound Recording and Voice Recording menus, respectively, you need to UNCHECK the Microphone and Line-In boxes on the Properties tab for your sound card or mobo's onboard audio. This will force the game you are playing to then default to the next available mic which will be on your Plantronics headset, and you will be golden! By the way, I informed Plantronics of this fix because they were unable to help me (but their customer service is top notch, FYI).
Terrific Headset! December 10, 2005

I am an avid online FPS gamer and needed a good headset with a great mic. This one fit the bill perfectly! The DSP feature is outstanding. I don't waste mony on expensive computer speaker sets (I rather spend it on Hoem Theater speakers) but I know quality when I hear it. The soundqaulity on the GameCom Pro 1 is excellent. I can enable all the 5.1 channel effects in my games and the DSP take care of the rest. This is also true for watching DVDs and listening to music. True aduiophiles will enjoy the quality of this headset. It is also relatively comfortable if you are going to be using for extended periods. I've worn it up to six hours at a single stretch and it sill feels comfortable on my head and against my ears.
Players report that my mic is clear and crisp and very little white noise filters in. The adjustable mic boom places it exactly where I want it and doesn't shift or fall over time.
IMO, you can't buy a better gaming headset than this. Incidentally, I bought an extra one I was so pleased with the first.
 They're great, bud did you know... July 13, 2007

Here's a quick money saving tip. I bought these to replace my dying Plantronics DSP 500's. I contacted plantronics and they indicated that the GameComPro 1 is the exact same headset as the DSP 500, just with a different silver paint job. No enhancements, no updates, same exact set.
Save yourself some money and go with the DSP 500's. You can get them on clearance at http://www.plantronics.com/clearance for about half the price of the GameComPro 1's. Both are fantastic headsets.
Good Headset, but. . . October 16, 2005

I ordered the headset from Techdepot (Office Depot) through Amazon. The headset was available at www.techdepot.com or through Amazon.com. Ordering through Amazon was cheaper, even though it actually came from Techdepot.
The headset sound is good, and my friends tell me the mic works well.
The headset is a USB headset. I had not used a USB headset before and had not considered that when I plug in the headset it would alter the settings on my PC. Unlike a "normal" headset with a mic in and audio out jack, when you plug in or unplug a USB headset, you may find that you have to change the settings in your audio properties or have to start or restart your program before the headset will work. This is a bit of an annoiance. Except for this issue, the headset works great and sounds great. Just consider that you need to plug it in before you start your game or communication program.
Great Product October 17, 2005

I tried the logitech usb 300 headset before I purchased this one and I was not impressed. This headset not only works better but the microphone pickup is a lot more sensitive so you don't have to turn your mic volume up all the way.
