Surprising sound in this headset

Not only is this a comfortable headset, but the sound is pretty amazing, as well. I bought the headset for gaming but the sound quality is great for listening to music and watching movies. The ear pieces are well padded and help to block outside...

Not a bad pair of headphones for its price

Compared to other inexpensive headphones, the sound quality is decent (I normally listen to set of Professional headphones, the classic Sony MDR-7506 cans), it has lots of convenient features, they are comforatable to wear over long sessions, and have...

acceptable

Has 1/8" plugs, one for mic, one for headphones. Comes with USB audio adapter, which has two 1/8" jacks in it, one for mic, one for headphones. Mic works well, quite adjustable

Bass is a little elevated and muddy. Fine for gaming, not recommended for music

Good headset

I wear glasses and I couldn't deal with the pain it causes during extended use so I returned it for the GameCom 777. Much better if your willing to shell out the money for it.

Decent sound quality ; Plenty of cable ; Excellent mic ; Small design

If you wear glasses they will start to hurt your ears after 45 minutes - 1 hour. The speakers are missing some highs. USB dongle is a waist since my Creative X-Fi card has much better quality

Excellent, reliable, just slightly uncomfortable

Great headset. Highly recommended if you're on a budget. I'm a gamer and wanted something with an amazing microphone and good sound quality, and that's exactly what Plantronics is providing here. If you want to step up, the new GameCom 777 is an...

Good sound quality, just a teeny bit harsh (I'm an audiophile), and kind of lacking in the very high frequency range. Good sounding bass, just not enough of it. Note: The sound quality can be GREATLY enhanced if you have an Equalizer on your computer's...

After long hours of use, the earpads tend to cause discomfort. When i bent my mic one time after owning the headset for many months, it now does not stay where i bent it to unless it is not extended (the QuickAdjust). Not a big deal, just thought I...

Good product, but VERY SHORT LIFE...3 replacements in 6 months

I bought this headset in June and the usb adapter fell apart the first week. Plantronics replaced it very promptly. The second one lasted about a month...the same thing happened. Again, Plantronics replaced the headset promptly. This time, I put a...
