beware

 

I was very pleased when I first bought this headset. I do play WoW everyday, but I do not beat my gear up. 6 months down the road, SNAP! I now have a duct-taped headset. Hence why I am on here(looking for a new headset).

very comfortable ; mic is flexible ; wires are good length

same as everyone else stated.... it snapped at the top

I owned these for about a year...basically I bought them at walmart and they were so flimsy they broke every 2 weeks-3 months,I had the life span varied between the different pairs....the only reason I bought so many of them was because walmart did let...

breaks

 

i thought they were pretty good for what i needed them for up until they broke.

good sound quality, mic works well

after 6 months of ownership the top hinge broke. very stupid design on hp's part, why make a plastic hinge. also, have to build up a tollerance for the pressure the head sets puts on your ears, hurts after about an hour

STAY AWAY FROM IT

 

This product has a life span of less than 1 week if you are a heavy gamer. I am never ever going to get a headset from HP. Third headset that broke in less than a week. I dont know if its bad luck but it tells me not to get anything from HP becuase...

nothing really after 1 day

This piece of cr*p of a product broke after one day. Walmart wouldnt let me return it because if was broken.(hinge). Only lasted one day

Stay Away!

 

If it weren't for the plastic being so brittle, these would be a decent choice for a value headset. The sound quality is good, as is the microphone performance. But there is no way you should spend money of these as I can guarantee they will break on...

Decent sound and mic ; Fairly comfortable to wear for 2-3 hours max

As already stated by other reviews, the center hinge is extremely weak and will break on you. Mine lasted only a week or so before the hinge broke. I was able to jury rig it by cutting off a butter knife and bending the blade to a curved shape, then...

HP KJ270AA#ABA 3.5mm/ USB Circumaural Premium Digital Stereo Headset

 

Bass = 40hz and you can still hear it.

Great sound quality ; Good mic quality, doesn't pick up outside sounds ; Cheap

Extremely uncomfortable until you get used to them ; After awhile the mic started to pick up more sounds other than my voice

Consumer review by:

FAIL

 

I think I got roughly twenty uses out of the headset before it too snapped in half.

Inexpensive

Replacement set broke just as quickly as the first set

Good headset, Bad construction

 

Good headset, Bad construction

Fell into 2 pieces after a month while putting it on. Hinge is worthless. Otherwise it would be a decent headset for the $$$. Not enough cushioning on top, so it hurts your head. Earpieces are not too bad...
