excellent voice quality

I got this free at work, so I can't speak to the "value" of it; so I will just list the pros and cons for my situation: I use a VoIP softphone occasionally on my laptop. I did not receive any software with it so can't evaluate that either. \n \nPros:...

Worked fine for several years

I've had this headset for about 5 years now, and have been happy with it. audio quality for voice is great, and the mic picks up voice rather well. I don't even know what software was bundled with it, I only bought it to use as a gaming headset. The...

Excellent for VOIP phone calls

Skype is hot for overseas calls (free) but you need a quality mic and earphones. This DSP-100 combines both and is just plug-and-play: stick it into the USB port on Mac or Windows devices and you're ready to talk. (The Mac is easier, no driver needed...

underengineered product

The DSP-100 has limited size adjustment and is poorly designed ergonomically. The headset plastic is flimsy and the set does not sit snugly or securely. The microphone does not extend far enough to clear the face or neck. Sound quality is adequate....

Works well with ViaVoice on Macintosh

Good for voice recognition

Been using this on Win2K machine for over a year. Does pretty good job for voice recognition in Dragon, and it's not the most expensive USB headset. Recognition with this is definitely better than analog (non-USB) headset going thru a soundcard. ...

Rocks on a mac!!!

So sorry to hear all the bad reviews from PC users. On a Mac (as usual) you simply plug it in and it's available for whatever software you're using. The DSP-300 ($...) has 2 earpieces which is obviously much better for music, but if you're using this...

Don't Buy

I purchased this for my son to play Half-Life online. It cuts out ALL the time. It supposedly has problems with Athlon based computers. I tried a fix (which must be done on a non-Athlon computer) but it didn't work. Wasted my money.
