It Works

My computer, like most, has the ability to treat the HD Audio ports as an additional sound output from the main ports on the back. These work perfect for voice chat when playing games. I have my main speakers play the game sounds, and all voice chat...

Light weight, pretty good mic

As others have mentioned, the mic doesn't go both ways, making it impossible to where on your right ear ; The speaker works, but the sound quality could be much better

Good basic headset

Docked one star for the mic issue, though it doesn't affect me. Really it shouldn't be that difficult to make it able to be worn on either ear.

This is a good basic single-ear headset. It's nice to be able to hear external sounds while gaming or chatting in case something urgent needs my attention ; The sound quality is very good ; Microphone is clear with minimal distortion ; The cable is...

The mic is only available if worn on the left ear. (Not an issue for me, since I prefer it that way, but others may have a problem with that.)

Pleasantly surprised

The mic drops/elevates and can be bent into position, which I found extremely useful.

Can be used as a mic only (how I normally use it), headphone only or both. Single ear so I can hear if something is going on in the rest of the house. Sound is clear (when I've used it) and my voice transmits loud, clear and without background noise....

None that I've found

I love this brand

Being attached to gaming as I am, I'd say its great product... as any other Sennheiser products. My GF is using it and she loves it. Me, personally, I use stereo headphones, simply because I like to hear music/game in both ears, but If you are OK with...

Not bad, but could be better

This headset is light and quite comfortable. It's unlikely that I will continue to use it however. There is no built in volume/mute on it, and I could live with that, however the volume on them mic was very low. I had to turn the volume pickup on the...

Excellent!

I bought this headset to use with Ventrilo while gaming. I also use it with Skype. I wanted a mono headset so I could plug it into the sound built into my motherboard and keep my game sound on my regular speakers. I've been using this headset for over...

Very good quality, long cord, great price

Nothing worth mentioning

Excellent for speech recognition

Due to a temporary disability the only way I can operate a computer is using speech recognition, fortunately Vista has made this possible. I have tried several different headsets and this by far is the best I've found. They fit comfortably and their...
