Great Headset

to the reviewer that gave it a 1 star, in windows xp there is no driver required for usb headsets if you are running sp2, if you have sp2 and it still doesn't pick up probably a dead headset.

Plug in the headset and go, one of the best sounding usb headsets I have owned (usually get logitech but 2 logitech 350's died on me) light weight, easy to wear for those 10 hour gaming sessions. Adjustable mic picks up well on teamspeak gtalk etc

none works great as expected from plantronics

and comfortable too!

This review is based soley on my usage of Skype, I dont know if it would be different with other telephony systems. I went from using a microphone and speakers to using the DSP300. With the microphone/speakers set up, you have to be careful where you...
