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.
