I bought this headset to replace my trusty Altec Lansing headset which finally stopped working after a couple of years of daily use and abuse. I have to say that the design of this headset is truly great. From the looks to the in-line control to the USB adapter. All the pieces seem to be carefully designed to maximize style and functionality. The behind-the-head design is favored by many people because it's extremely comfortable. The ear pads move in many directions to adjust to your personal needs. The microphone is chromed and moves up and down, out of the way. The in-line controls are extremely handy, and work well. The quality of sound was truly amazing for a headset of this kind, and the people I was speaking to said I sounded crystal clear. They could not hear any of the background noise (and even music) I had going on in the room. Now, despite the praises, I ended up returning this headset. I needed a headset I could use for 6 hours straight and still be comfortable. This isn't it. I'm aware that this is a "laptop" headset and thus is probably not meant for extended use sessions, which is why I'm rating it at four stars. It's very comfortable for a short period of time (couple of hours tops), after that... not so much. In conclusion, great headset. I couldn't have asked for a better one as far as design and quality goes. It's worth every penny. It just wasn't the most comfortable headset I've worn, and that, in the end, was my priority.
What's great about it: Great design, amazing sound quality.
What's not so great: Not so comfortable after a few hours.

These headphones have great sound and have lasted me longer then any other pair I've owned. I've had them since march of 2007 and normally I got through a set or two a year. However there is a on going issue that is posted all over the Logitech boards of the mic not working if you need to use the supplied USB adpater. I'm a gamer and as long as I need to use the usb adapter that is supplied with this unit, I cannot use the mic for voice chat. In game, Ventrilo etc. The analog connections work flawlessly for this. But if your getting these to share between a desktop and a laptop, you may want to keep looking or just buy two (different) headsets.
What's great about it: Light weight, comfortable, have lasted over a year

I bought this Logitech Premium Notebook headset just 10 days ago and I love it. I like the way it feels on my ears rather than ontop of my head but it can get uncomfortable after extended use (4-5 hrs) or as least it did for me. I actually bought it more for the dual use of USB port and plug in capabilities than for comfort and style. It comes with a rather big bulky carrying case but its bendable enough I was able to put it in my laptop case for easy travel use. Volume setting are much better than my previous Logitech headset purchased 5 years ago.
What's great about it: Stylish
What's not so great: Can get uncomfortable after extended use.

This headset was well worth its money. Every time I used it, no matter what program, everyone said they could hear me loud and clear. I was also able to use it on my mp3 player very easily. It did start to hurt around my ears if I wore it too long, though. But then again, I used it for 5-6 hours a day with my job.
The really bad thing about it was about a week ago, the part where the mic is attached to the headset popped off and no longer worked. I pushed through it until just recently. The left ear of the headset didn't bring in sound anymore. There was a short in the wire. I have to throw it out now.
I still liked this product and think it's a pretty good buy.
What's great about it: Great sound and microphone
What's not so great: Hurts after a while and breaks somewhat easily

I bought this item as a new headset, used primarily for gaming on my laptop. It is by far the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I gamed for hours and did not get any discomfort from wearing them. They are non-intrusive to to wear and I often forgot that I was wearing them. The sound is really good considering the type of headphones, but it could have a little more bass capability.
The microphone boom is located well and is not in my peripheral vision. They are completely adjustable and were easy to get positioned correctly. The back strap does not actually support the headphones, which was nice since it does not rest on the back of my neck like other sets do.
Another nice feature is the carrying case which comes with the product. I travel frequently and have a bag full of things. Previous headsets (even "laptop" headsets) have only had a way of folding up, but not a protective case. The case is rugged and I think will stand up to the pounding in my bag.

I've purchased two of these. I wasn't impressed either time. The first pair I thought was just a fluke and exchanged it. Now the second pair is doing the same. - The microphone will fade out into usage ability(slowly becomes disfunctional). I can't even use the mic while gaming now, because for the people to hear me faintly, I have to press the mic to my mouth and yell....LOUDLY. As well as the earpieces start to become very loose on your ears and will no longer snug/adjust to your ears. Over all, I don't recommend this product, especially for the money. I'm giong to by a more traditional, sturdier headset from here. I was very disappointed with this product.
What's great about it: It's light weight.
What's not so great: The wiring guage in them are too small, thus feedback is lagging.

I bought it in December and two months later I had to KRAZY Glue the so called Adjustable earpieces. I mainly purchased this expensive headset for its stylish look. Besides the fragile “Adjustable earpiece” I love the product, it does deliver high quality audio. Thinking in buying this, Two Words, Krazy Glue. Will need it.
