ok, not great

My head is kind of big so your comfort mileage may vary. They're not too bad for the price. I'll use them till they don't work anymore but when I rebuy I'll go for something a little better.

Cheap. I bought 3, mic seems to work pretty good on all three. No one on the other end ever reports difficulty hearing me ; Comfortable enough to wear for a half hour

I have difficulty hearing with all three. The speakers in the headphones are not very good. Also the input volume and output volume seem to share the same dial and can only be adjusted separately on your PC. Kinda makes the dial not so useful ; Not...

good, cheap headphones

good deal

Very good price, came in clear through the mic. Useful in games and the headphone quality isnt bad. Comfortable enough to play a game for hours without it being annoying

Probably my bad, but I thought microphone wasnt working at first until friend changed some settings on windows and had it working perfect. No problems since

Unimpressed

if the mic would have worked, it would be a very nice little headset.

Sound quality is perfectly fine, as headphones they work with no problems

The mic has never worked at all. Mic DOA

Good quality, Low price

While Skype sound quality is perfect with my desktop there is a bit of a noticeable feedback hum in the mic on my laptop. Headphones sound great on laptop though. Don't know where the mic hum is coming from as yet.

Great quality for the price. Wanted a headset for Skype. Works great with my desktop, excellent sound quality on both mic and headphones. Very light and very comfortable but on the delicate side. So you have to take care when using it. Cord is 6' long...

Buy several

I talk a lot on Skype, and these are perfect. I bought a couple, just to have an extra on hand. Ive bought more expensive sets, and they didn't last any longer, or sound any better for what I use them for
