Quality headset!

 

Quality headset!

So far so good after 2 months. Needed a new headset after the one I bought from Skype shorted in one ear after only a month of use. I trust Plantronics. I've bought items from them in the past and they seem to be consistent. Worth the investment. Hard...

Reasonably priced, but good quality

I purchased 40 of these folding headsets for my IT group, and they were reasonably priced. They have good sound quality & are very durable. Everyone so far is very happy with them. Tried to order more, but they seem to be OUT OF STOCK.

Very practical to carry around inside your backpack

It's not the best quality sound out there, especially compared to noise-canceling headsets, but it gets the basic job done. Woks for my Skype calls and Rosetta Stone software. And I like that you can use it as a USB headset and also as a regular...

Microphone stopped working after 2 month's of limited use

Bought this for playing games and use it on my desktop about three or four nights a week for a couple hours at time. The sound quality is OK and it's fairly comfortable in comparison to some "over-the-ear" models I've had in the past. It seemed like...
