 My favorite headset yet! April 28, 2008

I've had a lot of headsets, a lot of headphones, and a lot of microphones.
As far as computer use goes, this headset is my favorite. The USB technology is great because it delivers pure digital sound in one connection and one wire. My computer (Windows XP) instantly recognized the headphones and they began working.
One great thing about this headset is that if you want to go back to speakers, you don't have to swap the 3.5mm plugs; you just unplug the headphones and it defaults back to the speakers, and when you plug the headphones back in it switches back to headphones.
The inline volume/mute is useful and it's digital rather than analog.
Now about comfort: these headphones don't look as comfortable as some of the really big cup earphones, but trust me they are far more comfortable. Not only are they soft and plush (leather), but they are so light it's easy to forget your wearing them. I can wear these for hours on end without any discomfort.
On the sound quality: probably the best sound quality you can get for a headset (phone/mic duo) under $100. Because they are USB, the signal is digital rather than analog and there is NEVER any type of static or popping etc. The mic is noise canceling (background noise no longer a problem) and the headphones are very clear and have pretty good range for what they are.
Overall this headset is more what you'd expect to pay around $70 for. They aren't as good for music as my Skullcandy smokin' buds headhphones which I use to listen to my iPhone, but they definitely get the job done for Gaming, Internet Conference/Calling, and General Use (Casual Music Listening, Narrating etc.) for desktops/laptops. Audiophiles definitely won't care much for these because they aren't amplified or high definition, but the casual user will definitely enjoy these headphones.
I also have the Panasonic RP-HTX7PP-K Retro Style Monitor Headphones and the sound quality is about the same, but the comfort and convenience of built in mic makes this headset better.
 Excellent for the price February 14, 2008

Hooked this up to my iMac and had it configured in seconds. Build quality is surprisingly good for the price. There is padding on top but it lost one star because it could have used a bit more. By moving it around a bit on the top of your head it's fine but it you leave it in one place for more than an hour it will let you know. I've place orders for 2 more for my family.

After reading some reviews by other users, I decided to go with the Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset, which I am really pleased with the purchase.
It is truely plug-and-play, instantly recognized by Windows XP and work right out of the bubble pack.
This headset is sturdy and the quality is above-average. There is no static when using Skype.
I have been using it for multimedia as well, work just like a traditional headset, the sound quality is clear and dynamic.
Good value for money March 7, 2008

I have no problem with this USB headset. I have a big head and the headphones fit in nicely. The sound clarity is good both from the microphone and the audio headphones.
The only reason i give this product 4 stars is the fact i still use my Sony headphones whenever i am not voice chatting as their performance is better as headphones over these.
Pretty decent headphones April 23, 2008

These headphones do not work extremely well with Skype on a Mac. It is simply impossible to get the audio loud enough without making changes to the system audio settings.
The headband is tight on my large head. It puts enough pressure on my ears that my ears hurt where they are pressed against the arms of my glasses.
The audio quality coming out of the speakers as well as the quality of the microphone are both good. People on the other end of my skype calls tell me I sound great.
I would recommend these headphones for people who have the patience to change system audio settings on a Mac or for people who don't wear glasses or have very small armed/stemmed glasses.
