"So far it seems to be delivering as advertised. The microphone seems to work pretty well based on use with Dragon software and the headphones are decent. Comfort could be better."

What's great about it: Works good for the money.
What's not so great: I wish it was wireless!

"I found nothing wrong with this headset, good sound, fit, & comfort! The only thing I wish is that it was wireless, I tend to get tangled up with the cord! At least I can hear if the phone rings, or whatever needs my attention while on the pc."

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: everything

"First the packaging was horrible. It was impossible to get out and the paper kept tearing instead of peeling like it should. I put it on and it was the most uncomfortable headset I had ever used so I tried to adjust the arm and it broke right off. Going to return it."

What's great about it: Mute button, adjustable Volume
What's not so great: Cord could be a foot longer

"I was looking for a USB headset for my PS3 so I wouldn't have to keep charging my bluetooth headsets. This was a great buy. The adjustable volume and mute feature allow me to not listen or talk to other players when I don't want to. Also great so no one can hear my conversations on the phone or in the house when I'm gaming."

Piece of JUNK!!!   08/29/2009
By mkgrl from Grand Junction, CO

What's great about it: Comfortable fit
What's not so great: It doesnt work

"I purchased this headset for use with the Windows Vista speech recognition. I plugged it in and the drivers installed just fine. When I tried to set up the microphone and had to say a sentence into the mic to adjust the volume, it would not work. My pc kept saying the computer didnt hear me. I had the volume at the highest setting. I even tried unplugging the headset and replugging it back in. It still would not work. I now have to return the headset and try to find a different one that will hopefully work."

What's not so great: terrible sound and fit

"The sound quality is sooo poor and the fit is terrible. With this headset you have to talk DIRECTLY INTO the mic which is impossible since the mic is way to short. There is no way to have the ear pad actually on the ear and the mic at your mouth at the same time. I will bring it back!"

What's great about it: Great for Voice Comunication.
What's not so great: Not good for everyday use.

"I've bought 2 of these headsets mainly for use with Ventrilo. They work great for that, no problem with computer recognition. They can get a little uncomfortable when wearing them for a long time but nothing to bad.

Main problem with both was the Durability. They don't last long with everyday use. The wire going into the earpiece didn't last to long with my first headset. I had it for a few months and it gave out. My second headset I had a little longer than 2 months and the wire going into the volume/mute control gave out.

If you use this once and awhile and take good care not to yank on the wire; this is a good headset for you. I don't recomend it for everyday use however.

Overall good headset   05/16/2008
By shenmue8521 from New Mexico

What's great about it: Comfortable headset, adjustable mic, great sound quality
What's not so great: doesn't work that great with video games

"I bought this headset to use with my playstation 3. I thought it looked like a great product for a good price. This headset is that product. Just not when I'm trying to play Call of Duty 4. The mic picks up everything that i do. I was turning up the television and people could hear the click from the button on the t.v. I also can't turn up the headset volume to much otherwise the mic will pick up what i hear through the speaker on my ear. If someone says something loud or a gun shot goes off in the game then it goes through my mic like i said something. Not very good with video games. On the other hand people say that the quality of sound from my voice is great. The headset is top notch. Its comfortable and sounds great. If you need a headset for your computer for voice chat or anything else this headset is a good product. If your looking for something for gaming I would not recommend it unless you sit as far back from the t.v. as you can and turn the volume down on the headset. Overall 3 stars out of 5."

By av8r

What's great about it: Very good sound quality
What's not so great: Stiff headband

"I like the quality, but will be returning it due to a poor fit. The headband is adjustable, but very stiff. I can only recommend it if you have a small head."

Nice   01/30/2008
By LilVolume from Cleveland Oh

What's great about it: Comfy, stylish, mute and volume control. Mute button
What's not so great: Socom Combined Assault is no compatible :(

"I bought this headset a few weeks ago and am very pleased with it so far. The ear pad is smaller so it feels really good on my ear. Compared to the old Logitech one I got for Socom. It is amazing, I sometimes forget it's on my ear. The mute button is also good, so when on internet games when I breathe people won't hear that. And the volume control is nice because sometimes I'm watching TV and don't wanna hear people.

This is amazing, and cheap. All better than the old headset I had and the Bluetooth headset I got. I would recommend to anyone who has a PS3 or for computer gaming people. Don't overpay for an uncomfortable headset. Buy this one.

One Downfall   01/10/2008
By Derrek

What's great about it: Very comfortable, Flexible Mic
What's not so great: Doesnt compat with everything

"usb i originally thought would work just fine although this head set is extremely comfortable and adjustable it did not work with playstation 2 discs on a playstation 3 it did work with the ps3 games but i myself am i SOCOM series fan and continue to play the older game until a new release. Without that it was all in all a great purchase being cheaper then the RocketFish adn the uncomfortable over priced logitech"
