Not great for those with glasses

Sep 14, 2004 - By Dean Kassmann

If you wear glasses, consider getting a different headset. Because this is a behind the head model, it rests on your ears -- similar to a pair of glasses. If you already wear glasses (like I do) you will most likely find it uncomfortable. The headset does have exceptional voice pickup and sound quality (for gaming) however. It is just a bit uncomfortable with glasses.

Great basic headset, but cuts into the ears

Oct 19, 2005 - By C. Weiss

This is a great headset for the price, but I ran into some comfort issues. This headset wraps around the back of the head, not over the top and there is a groove along the band where the wire connects the left speaker to the right speaker. This band sits on top of your ears and after extended use, the channel tends to abrade the ears. Bummer, cuz it's great in every other respect.

Great sound, inexpensive price!

Oct 28, 2005 - By S. Wen (Walnut Creek, CA USA)

This is my second logitech headset. My first one is a Logitech Internet Chat Headset with item model # 980158-0403. Each of these two headsets has a microphone. The price of this one is a little bit lower, but that doesn't mean this one is worse. In fact, after compared them for a while, I have to say this one has a better sound quality. Maybe just as the description, this one is designed for PC games, that one is only for chat. Maybe, the price difference is because # 980158-0403 comes with four plates with different colors. A brief comparison (0 is worst and 5 is the best) is given as follows:
#980158-0403 #980233-0403
4- 4+ Sound quality
4 4 Wearing comfort
4 5 Reasonable price
4 1 # of colors
4 4+ Overall satisfaction

I think for a headset, the most important thing is the sound quality and being comfortable to wear. I don't care how many colors it comes with.

Highly recommended!

Great Sound Quality In and Out

Oct 5, 2004 - By Benjamin Warriner (Texas)

I was at first surprised to get this thing in less than 24 hours. I plugged it into my PC and used it right away. I was able to hear music from games and people's voices very clearly and the people I talked to said that my voice was coming in perfectly. I just find this works extremly well.

Extreme PC Gaming Headset

May 2, 2004 - By Insolence (California)

I was at the Newegg 2k4 lanparty in Southern California .. they had dedicated systems with the Logitech Extreme for use during the Battlefield 1942 and Call of Duty competitions.. the noise cancelling, ratchet boom mic, sound quality and fit of the headset kicked azz! A lil to get used to on the wrap around but a great additon to any lan bag.
