Excellent headset with a few minor issues.
(4 out of 5) by Ryan Kneer on Aug 8, 2007 (Dayton, Ohio)I bought this headset for two reasons: its good reviews and its price.
The reviews were well-deserved, and the price was right. Its design makes it comfortable, attractive, and easily adjustable. The microphone is excellent -- I'm even using it for some amateur acoustic guitar recording until I can justify purchasing a nice condenser.
However, I still have some small problems with it. Its cord, at around 6.5 feet, is a little short for my purposes, but it's nothing crippling. Also, the sound isn't quite as "bassy" or "full" as I'd like it to be, but it is by no means low-quality -- especially for the price.
All said, this headset is a little gem; it is excellently priced and well put-together.

good quality for the price
(4 out of 5) by bbv on Feb 22, 2008The mechanical design and the build quality are very good, not something you would expect from a $20 piece. The microphone quality is excellent, sound quality is good. However, the headband-headphones plastic joints are too loose, and you can't really adjust the length (size?) of the headband -- it is always at the maximum. It is not because my unit was faulty. I disassembled these joints to check -- it is by design. For me it is not really a problem, I would put it to the maximum anyway. But if you have a small head, you better try it first. But overall, I would highly recommend it.
P.S. Since it is NOT a USB headset, it is supported in Linux out of the box (many USB headsets have exotic built-in soundcards).

headset
(1 out of 5) by L. Shahriyari on Dec 23, 2008The main problem is that, I cannot fix the position of microphone to each position that I want. The other problem is that I cannot fix the position of headset on my head, it isn't flexible.

These honestly are the best Headsets i've bought ever.
(5 out of 5) by A. Bullen on Nov 21, 2008 (Middletown, Delaware USA)I purchased these over a year ago, and since I got them out of the packaging they were an amazing headset. However recently the wire has broken (clearly it was my fault). I am doing a little searching but ultimatly i think i will purchase these ones again, because they really are a good headset for me. They are all that I ask for.
