2 out of 5 stars Microphone is pretty much useless.   November 21, 2008
The sound on the headphone is decent, especially considering the price.

However, I've been trying to use these with Ventrilo and other voice-chat programs and the microphone is barely audible. I've turned up all the microphone settings both in the system control panel and on my sound card's control panel without any luck. No-one can understand what I am saying unless I really shout into the microphone and even then only occasionally.

I tried to see if Logitech's website had any hints but they don't list this product on their site. In fact, it looks like they're trying to pretend they never made this sorry excuse for a microphone headset.

If you want to listen only, these are probably fine. However, if you want to be able to use the microphone, you shouldn't consider this product. Choose something where the company's website AT LEAST admits the product exists.

The product works well, seems like a good value for the price. The only drawbacks I see are, 1) It doesn't hook up through USB, and 2) The fact that it fits around your ears can cause some discomfort if worn for extended periods. Other than that, the sound quality is great and the mic is durable.

For the amount that I paid for these units I think I got more than what I paid for
Thank you



2 out of 5 stars Not good enough   November 7, 2008
I bought this for playing World of Warcraft and I'm going to have to get a better headset. This one is comfortable enough for extended play, and the sound quality is good, but the primary reason I bought it was because I needed a microphone as well for talking with my friends while playing. The microphone is either not sensitive enough, or the arm is too short - but whatever the problem is, my friends tell me they can barely hear me even when I have the settings up to full.


2 out of 5 stars Uncomfortable   October 30, 2008
I was looking for a headset to use with skype. The sound quality of this headset was great. However, after about 30 min of wear, the fit was quite uncomfortable and the minimal adjustments it allows didn't make it any better.
