 Affordable, High-Quality Headset with Microphone May 14, 2006
David Bennett (Ohio, United States)

I bought this device for recording podcasts and chatting with my friends on Skype, Gizmo, and Paltalk. I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the headphones and microphone.
First, about the headphones: They are quite comfortable (for me at least), and produce a nice, bass-rich sound. The volume control is nice, because the last set I bought produced sound that was way too loud, and I would get a shock if I didn't lower the volume greatly when switching from speakers to headphones. This set produces a more even sound.
Second, about the microphone: I am very pleased. This microphone puts my older microphone (a Labtec microphone from 2001) to shame, and saves me from having to clean up my recordings in Audacity to get rid of excess hum and noise. I was impressed that the noise-canceling feature really works well. Also, I can talk using a normal, conversational voice and the microphone picks it up clearly. The microphone can be adjusted up and down, and toward and away from your mouth, making it very easy to find the best location for the microphone in relation to your mouth. The sound quality is so excellent that as soon as my friends heard me talk with this microphone, they wanted one. I gave them a link to this product and they will order it soon.
Overall, I couldn't be more pleased. While I haven't compared this headset with other headsets, I can tell you that for the price, the quality is excellent, and I will be recommending it to all my friends as an affordable, high-quality headset with microphone.
 uncomfortable to wear August 15, 2005

I thought by the picture these would be more comfortable than other headsets I've owned, but no, they're almost as bad. The padding is minimal, the ear piece is way too small, and the piece that touches your ear is very hard. I like the in-line volume control but that's about it. I don't use the mouth piece for anything so won't comment on that. I bought them to listen to audio on my PC hoping they'd be comfortable for at least an hour's worth of wear, but they're not.
Yet another electronic gadget to add to my junk box.
 Not Very Durable March 3, 2007

I purchased this headset for use flying online with MS Flight Simulator. It was a good headset to start with and had very good sound, however I noticed a problem with it right away. The earpieces are fairly hard and pretty small making it uncomfortable to wear after about an hour of use. I was constantly having to rub my ears, but that problem didn't bother me all that much.
What bothered me is the extremely short lifespan of the microphone. I purchased this headset in January and the mic died at the end of February. Not a good product by my standards. It seems to be a flaw with the boom joint as it seems to have a loose connection in it. I wiggled it and was able to get the mic back for a few hours, but it once again died on me and I haven't been able to recover it since. I've given up on it. Time to purchase a better one!
do not buy this if you have only a "line-in" port (as on a Mac) June 27, 2006

The reason so many people are having problems with the microphone is that they are plugging the microphone jack into their computer's line-in port. A line-in and a microphone-in port are different, even though they look the same. The mic-in sends a lot more power over the cable, the kind of power required to power a microphone that is not self-powered--like this one. Yet Many computers, including all Apple computers, have a line-in but not a mic-in port. This means you will need an adapter that provides power via usb, like an iMic--but for that price, you'd be better off getting a usb headset in the first place.
Bottom line: check your tech specs. If you have a line-in and not a microphone-in port, DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY. If you have a mic-in port (many PCs do), you'll be fine.
Besides, they're uncomfortable.
Good Audio - Very Uncomfortable June 15, 2007
Natalie Stark (Terre Haute, IN USA)

My husband bought two pairs of these, one for each of us. Before opening the second package he had me try his on since he felt they were uncomfortable after a short time. At first it seemed alright except the ear pieces didn't fit quite right on my ears. The sound put my regular speakers to shame and I was very impressed by the tiny details I've been missing in my World of Warcraft music. However, after wearing them for a short time, they became uncomfortable on my ears and also where the band sits on top of my head. Although the audio quality is excellent, I would not recommend these for any hardcore gamers that plan on wearing headphones for extended periods of time for voice chat.
