I bought the headset for IM and gaming but didn't expect much from it because of the price and lack of reviews.
However, the sound quality of the headphones aren't that bad, they work well for chatting and you can hear in-game sounds very clearly. They're not too bad for listening to music either but if your picky, you may have a problem with the quality of sound.
The mic is perfect for casual chatting in MSN or Skype but doesn't work too well in xfire. For gaming purposes the mic is fine as long as you're planning on using Teamspeak and not xfire or in-game chat.
My biggest problem with the mic is that the noise cancellation is quite poor, it will block out the TV in the background and your own voice if you talk quietly to yourself but it will easily pick up 'Snappy' sounds like putting something down on the desk or pressing the spacebar. This makes it much better to use key activation rather than voice activation to unmute the mic in some applications.
Overall though it is a good quality headset for the price, you wont look like an idiot wearing it and its comfortable and out of the way.
By the way, it does have in-line controls like it says in the description...at least mine didn't -_-
Not as advertised
The product you will get does not have in-line volume/mute controls. Does not have interchangeable colours. And does not have 3 meters of cable as it tells you it will in the specifications above. Those are all on the more expensive Logitech headset.
Despite that fact, the headset itself is extremely good. Wear and tear happens less quickly than with other headsets I've used. I would suggest everybody pay the extra however, and buy the next model up with the above specifications. It's definitely worth it for the length and the volume control.
Good Value but Uncomfortable and Short Life Span.
Overall, the micophone is a nice one, it didn't take at all long to configure it but it has a tendancy to break very easily. The fitting around the ears gets uncomfortable after about 30 minutes of use for myself and i've went through several of these within a span of about a year. Currently I have a one on me now, it's hanging around my neck with the plastic taped back together after it had been snapped.
Uncomfortable
Just received this headset and am not happy with it, it is too big for my head, the behind ear system is uncomfortable as the headset pushes into the top of your ear.
it also will not work on my computer, i plugged it in and nothing
worth the money but slighty uncomfortable
it begins to hurt the back of my ear every time i use it,,,,,,but must say the quality is really good,,,
