What's great about it: Sounds great, rich clear mids and bass, crisp treble.
What's not so great: Flimsy mic, weak thin wire that shorts out in 3 months.
Short and sweet review here. The speakers sound amazing all around, and nobody ever complained about how I sounded, they said the mic sounds just perfect. However, this thing is clunky, cheap plastic, the mic is flimsy, and I only had the headset just over 3 months (about 15 weeks exactly) before the thin low quality cord got a short in it at the base of where it comes out of the left of the headset. Now, the sound only comes out of the left side unless I pinch the cord a certain way.
I have never stressed the cable or applied any tension at all, as the cord has always had several feet of loose slack since my head is 2 feet from the jack where I plug it in. Next time I'm choose a different brand, as Plantronics products seem to pride themselves on lightweight thin plastic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Productes great "noise" while it last.
What's not so great: Not for long hours, cable messes up right side.
I had this product for about 1.5 month it is great at producing clear music,game etc.. until the cable knots up. It somehow makes the base of the cable loose (?) and you can't hear on the right side after a while.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Sound quality is average, tight on ears
If you're looking for a headset for under $80 with decent sound, this is probably worth your time. However if you've spent much time with true gaming headsets, this won't sound great, and may cause you some slight discomfort at first due to the size of the earpieces. In general you get what you pay for, but this unit is worth twice the price.

What's great about it: Sound, Flexible Headset, Adjustable sound volume rocker with mute mic button, Comftorable on Ears after long use
What's not so great: not the greatest looking but hey get the job done and better than most 100 dollar plus headsets
The headset sounds amazing. I was originally using Razer headsets but they are uncomfortable on the ear. So I decided to pick these up today and they feel great and sound better. I will be sticking with plantronics.

What's great about it: Quality & Price
What's not so great: Nothing
I just got this headset to use for voice recognition on my laptop and so far it works great. The mic is plenty sensitive enough and the headphones sound great. When it comes to listening to music they're a little on the boomy side but still not all that terrible for the price. Remember if you're a gamer you get what you pay for.

What's great about it: Excellent comfort, stunning sound quality (music AND video games)
What's not so great: Nothing as far as I can tell; the in-line volume knob is a bit fumbly
After a previous set of Turtle Beach Z1's snapped in half, I was looking for a good headset that would match, if not better the sound quality in the Turtle Beaches and be significantly more comfortable. After spotting the Gamecom 307's in the lower price range and having experience with Plantronics products before, I took a trip over to BB to buy a pair. After getting it out of the box, the one thing I immediately noticed was it's comfort. These headphones are some of the most enjoyable that I've ever worn on my head, and as a very heavy PC gamer, this was an important thing!
Next, I tested listening to some music with them. The sound quality is FANTASTIC. Not only did it blow the Turtle Beaches out of the water, but it almost matches the headphones I use specifically for listening to music. The bass is very distinct and the overall music quality sounded great.
Finally, the ultimate test, I loaded up some very sound intensive videogames that would normally rely on location of sounds to be able to play correctly (Counter-Strike: Source, Call of Duty: Black Ops, FEAR, etc.) and once again, sound quality was stunning. Firing sounds are crisp and clear, and the positional audio drivers built-in to the headset worked amazingly. I would absolutely recommend these to someone looking to purchase a headset but is not willing to drop the $90 for a fancy set. Why blow that much money when you could have a great product at $30?
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Plug it in and it Works right out of the Box!
What's not so great: Getting used to hearing yourself...
It works like a Champ with Windows 7 64 bit, which is what I have! Comfortable to wear and mic is not in your face as a distraction! If you can not type fast then the Plantronics GameCom 307 is the way to go! You have to get use to hearing yourself with them on but you can slide tthe right ear muff off to hear normally and it works just as well. So if even remotely interested go ahead and get this and you won't regret it!!!

What's great about it: Price, design, audio quality
What's not so great: Not good for people with big heads, size of parts covering the ears is a tad too small
Let me just get the bad thing out of the way, if you have a big head and kinda big ears like myself, I implore you to find something else. After prolonged use, these headphones can result in tenderness of the ears and a similar sensation on the top of the head.
That out of the way, everything else is great. Audio's nice and clear, fabric on the headphones themselves is nice and the mic picks up everything... A little too much sometimes.
For 20 bucks (30 regularly) you could not do better as far as I am concerned, but if you are like me, pay the extra 5 or 10 bucks and get a bigger or different designed pair. Otherwise, props to plantronics for making a solid PC gaming headset at a nice beginner's pricepoint.

What's great about it: Booming bass, clear mic
The bass really comes out nice in these headphones. The mic is also clear (some of my gamer friends say they can hear me breathing through my nose). These do get a tad bit uncomfortable if worn for more than a few hours, but then again, I do have big ears :) Overall, a very nice product.
