Great headset

 

We use these for people working near our assembly line. Amazing that people you call don't hear the background noise. Best headset we've used!

Great Bang for the Buck

 

My old Plantronics headset broke after a couple of months of use. I had to fight the volume controller just to get the sound to play on both sides of the headset. However this headset already seems much better. The cord is really strong and thick so I...

Great headset. Very comfortable. I love how the headset encompasses your ears and the leather is very nice. The is sound great as well. The mic is excellent and is much better than my old Logitech headset. It has a very nice build quality and the cord...

The volume controller could be smaller and the cord could be longer but the headset is still great

My only complaint is that the volume control on the cable could be smaller... but otherwise these are really nice

Terrible

Works fine, fit not perfect

 

For the price this is hard to beat. The head set works as advertised on my Windows 7 setup and was immediately usable with Google Voice and Skype. The headset looks reasonably well built and the cable is long enough to plug into a computer standing on...

When in longer conference calls, the headset starts to be a little uncomfortable after ~30mins. The shells just press a little too hard on my ears. I have a pretty big head, so others may not be as affected by this. Minor concern

OK but not great

 

All in all its not a bad headset. If you want a good headset for around $30 these are it!!!! I'll keep these as a backup. I ordered the Corsair Vengeance 1500 gaming headset. It has a lot of great reviews on comfort and sound. It suppose to have one of...

Mic, Price, Sound is great for the price, mute and volume buttons

Small ear cups. They tend to hurt after 30mins of gaming. I wear glasses all the time and when I put these on they push the top my ears against my glasses. After awhile I have to give my ears a break and take off the headset. Another con is the top...
