Home > Consumer Reviews > Hama PC Headset CS-453 with Microphone

I use this headset with Skype on a PC, and so far there I can find little fault with it.

As mentioned in another review, the mic is not that flexible, and the shape means you can only wear it one way round - i.e. the mic has to be on your left side, it can't be on your right.

but then, for £7, what do you expect? You expect to be able to speak through the mic and hear through the headphones. And that's what happens. Simple. Sound quality to the headphones is good, and no one has ever complained about my voice quality.

I really liked this headset. I was expecting some thing "cheap" but I was really surprised with the quality and the clarity of the sound. The microphone is great too. Nothing to get in your way.

I ordered this headset wanting a quick fix for my old headset due to the cable snapping. Upon recieving the hedset I was very suprised to find that the head band and microphone mounting is very well made and sturdy, it is very comfortable to use and the sound quality is superb allowing for great gaming use or just for listening to music. The microphone is very clear and doesnt pick up too much unwanted background noise. The one small complaint I do have is that the microphone is not very adjustable and it has a habbit of springing back into its old place which is a bad thing if it is too close to your mouth but it is a small nit pick considering the price. I would recomend this item to others for gaming use as I have tested it on quite a few now and everything checks out fine.

I was expecting to get a cheap headset for a cheap price, but discovered that the sound quality was very good and it was easy to use and comfortable to wear.

An excellent buy. Very functional, does what it's supposed to do. Can be frustrating for first-time users because of the lack of instructions, but for the price, this is a great headphone set. Avoid moving the mic too close to your mouth!
