EXCELLENT Product, don't listen to the down-talk

 

EXCELLENT Product, don't listen to the down-talk

I've had 2 sets of these for about 3 years now. Was so happy with the first pair I bought another for the upstairs computer as well. \n \nI'm totally convinced the people who suggest "mic eating" are dealing with sound card adjusments or just low...

Good sound but been through 2 pair that broke

 

Good sound but been through 2 pair that broke

I loved the sound quality of these headphones for the price, and the microphone was not too bad. The only problem I have had though, is that I am on my second broken pair. The volume control device keeps failing. I think wires inside the volume...

Best deal for the money

 

Best deal for the money

Let's just break it down here.... \n \nMic - \nIt works great and you don't have to "eat" it. The people having problems with the mic during gaming are probably on low grade sound cards that competes with their audio output. If you have a decent sound...

Excellent Sound. Comfortable. Adjustable. Works Perfectly!

 

Excellent Sound. Comfortable. Adjustable. Works Perfectly!

I have had this headset with microphone for quite some time. I originally bought it for on-line webcasts and radio shows. The sound comes through perfectly from the comfortable and adjustable padded headset, and the mic works just beautifully, for...

Take This Out In The Garbage!

Don't even waste your cash. What was Labtec making? Drek! Poor voice recognition. Low sound reception. Then, even worse, an awkward on / off switch. Instead I suggest the high performance Logitech 980130-0403 Premium USB 300 Headset.

Not the best, but great.

I don't know why you guys call this a piece of junk or w/e. I had this for maybe a month, and I switched to a better headset, not because it broke, but I wanted something better for gaming. The earphones were great, but, ya your right, i had to "eat"...

look elsewhere

 

look elsewhere

I've had these for about two years and the mic has never worked well... I almost had to "eat" the microphone in order for people to hear what I was saying. I know of some other headsets on the same price range that work a lot better than these ones...

Consumer review by:

Not worth the trouble.

 

Not worth the trouble.

The headset requires a sound card that supplies phantom power to the microphone or an additional power supply to be purchased from Labtec. Nothing on the packaging mentions this requirement! None of the 4 computers in my home office were compatible...
