Great headset -- great customer service!

The USB headset works great... great sound, and I have had no complaints about the microphone from calls I have made. The seller accidentally overcharged me for S&H, but he cleared the problem up quickly. I highly recommend this item and the seller.

Mediocre

I bought this piece of crap about a year ago. The right earphone died a couple of months ago, and the mic died today. I expected more from Sony. Also, the cord is too long and get twisted and tangled all the time.

Not worth the money

This headset is extremely uncomfortable. Also, the sound from the speakers is actually picked up by the microphone and makes using voice recognition software almost impossible. The noise canceling microphone is a joke. Unfortunately I can't return them...
