Plantronics .Audio DSP 400

 

A headset designed for voice, music and games.

Foldable, portable, light, adjustable microphone, USB sound card for DSP, in-line volume controls

Largely plastic build, ear cups are hot and tend to get uncomfortable, distortion at high volumes

Plantronics' .Audio DSP 400 is definitely worth a look if you're a heavy user of voice chat on your computer and it performs pretty well for regular music listening as well. The design won't suit everyone and the ear-cups tend to heat your ears, but...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Excellent

 

for the money, I seriously doubt you can find higher quality with better sound. I've had a few headsets, and this is the best one yet. definitly would do business with again

Excellent sound, very comfortable. XP supports advanced sound controls with bass boost and AGC

none so far. maybe that it has 2 wires hanging down from each earbud - would be much cleaner with only 1. that's my only minor gripe about this headset

Great Headset, BUT!

 

I would buy it again for the simplicity of setup and the great performance, but beware the fit.

This headset has great sound and is easy to install. I got it for TS in games and it works much better than my Soundblaster Audigy SE. The USB connection is much simpler that SB and I hear details in a game much better

This headset was designed by an idiot. It fits so loosely that the slightest movement makes it fall off. I have an average size head and have not found a way to make it fit

Awesome Headset!

 

I game with this headset for hours at a time. Replaced a Logitech headset that cost more and I'm completely satisfied with this one. No discomfort when wearing this thing for hours on end. Great upgrade imo.

Great lightweight headset. Very comfortable over long periods of wear time. Sound is great, mic works great as well. Long cord allows freedom movement so you don't feel tied down

Lightweight also equals light plastic...durability is in question, but I've had no real issues with it thus far. cord is about 10' long which can get in the way depending on your setup. Nothing I consider major issues

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Mostly, incredible

 

Mike quality is Excellent! You can spend $200 on a sound card, and another $200 on a studio mike and not due as well because of the electrical storm inside the PC case.

7+ years as a road warrior with this unit. It has taken major abuse. Finally dying (physically) <cables ; Noise canceling is good. Gamers may want the 500 series for lower base response

As mentioned, the cable design, and the DSP brick in the cable ; Not all DSP's are the same. Someone bought a pair and my and theirs we're not interchangeable due to firmware differences ; Overall, an Incredible offering

Well worth it.

 

Good product, good value, you won't be sorry.

Very good headset, low price, and good sound quailty ; Ambient noise reduction works well, filters out alot of background noises ; Microphone works well, quite usable for Skype or other VoIP programs ; USB Plug n' Pray worked without a problem ; Folds...

Double wire gets a bit in the way ; Clip on volume control not very practicle, but works well
