Good headset

I think I've been very fair to this headset.

The sound quality is quite good. It's comfortable for long periods. The microphone works as advertised. It needs no software installation. It's a USB interface

You need to be aware that this is a discontinued headset, per the official Plantronics website. I'd link it but that's against the rules. This headset has been out there for at least 11 years, judging by search results ("a classic" or "old tech", take...

Great, Clear Sound

Much better than the Logitech 350s. Extremely durable. Excellent USB headphones for everything multimedia.

Comfortable; Unlike other USB headsets I've tried I can turn up the volume and get clear sound; Lets me hear everything going on around the map

In Unreal Tournament 2004 there is no way to tell between up/down/same level. It sounds like things are right in behind me sometimes but are actually above/below (mainly on the map "Campgrounds"). Sounds GREAT on DVD/DIVX/XVID

Great Sound

None really except for i highly recomend these. Also, they fit very comfortably for people with large heads like myself.

The best sound quality ive heard thus far from a headset. I can hear people on the other sides of maps in Cod2

Just today the right speaker started going out, not sure why but i still gave these a 5 rating, if i cant RMA them, ill buy another pair

They Rock

If my chair was shaking I'd swear there's a sub in the house. Crystal clear from 20 to 20000 hertz.

Not only is my voice transmitted clearly to my Guild but I would rather watch a concert with these headphones than my Sony Music Headphones. I can't say enough about how good these things are. They sound fantastic, transmit perfectely, and have never...

Quality

You get exactly what you pay for.

Sound quality is great. Mic is very sensitive and records voice clearly. Have not had a problem with voice chat in DDO. Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time

Not cheap =)
