 great sound for the price but,,, December 11, 2006
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
as you can see the statements above, it is a nice and neat products for the price. i wasn't big fun of logitec (product quality is solid but i don't particularly like the design), but tried to see it.
sound quality is good (please do not expect BOSE sound quality:-) , well, better than i expacted. however, the reason that i bought this set was for skype (VOIP) use. after a while, people started saying they cannont really hear what i was saying. and now i need to put my mouth just right next to microphone (and still, they cannot hear as good as it should). and now i need to buy another one :-(
from my experience, if you are heavy user of skype (or any VOIP), i would say it's better look around elsewhere, even though it's quite reasonably priced.
 Very happy with these! August 11, 2006

I have to say, very impressed. This is my second "behind the head" headset and these are far better than the Trust set I had. The fit is much more comfortable and way more cable. I think the mute switch is a nice touch too.
Great headphones with just a few snags July 28, 2006

These headphones are certainly a worthwhile buy for anybody in need of a pair. They sit very comfortably on top of your ears, allowing the actual earpieces to press gently against your ears, making for a comfortable fit.
The mic is extremely versatile as the stem of the mic is made of a very flexible ribbed material which allows it to be bent almost any-which way you feel most happy with. Because of the counterbalance of the mic at the front, the headphones generally don't (in my experience at least) tend to slip down at the back of your neck which I have had experience with among other headphones in the past, which were poorly designed - and I haven't exactly got the biggest head in the world, so I wouldn't imagine there would be too many people with problems.
The sound leakage is average. As long as you don't have the headphones at ear-splittingly loud volume, and hold them at arms length away from yourself, noise IS audible, but pretty quiet, which is what I have come to expect from a lot of headphones. If there was one thing I would change about the headphones it would be to reduce the leakage - but honestly it's not that much of a problem as long as you're not a big fan of death metal music.
The headset is ideal for a wide variety of uses. The connectors are two simple jacks, one for the headphones and one for the mic, ports for which can be found on pretty much all PCs and Laptops in one place or another (usually at the front). And they even jack into your TV. The huge lead means you can sit wherever you like and it's not a problem, but Logitech are nice enough to tie it up beforehand for you with one of those nice little twisty bits of wire which means if you're not intent on ever using the extreme length, it wont get in the way, and you can just leave it tied up.
The interchangable colours of the side of the headset are pretty cool, but to be honest you're only going to really be using one set - your favourite - and then that's done and you're not going to touch the other ones ever again. They do come with a neat little tool for prising the current colour out of it's socket, and then you can snap a new one in place. You can even mix and match colours if you really want to, but it does feel like the interchangable colours were something thrown together at the last minute to try and justify the price of these pretty simplistic headphones. Don't get me wrong, they are great headphones, but the design is really simple and essentially just a single strip of plastic which binds the two earphones together with a microphone attached on the end - that's it.
But don't let that put you off, these headphones are very nice, comfortable and... great! For chatting on the internet, listening to music, watching TV, or if you just want to look like you're an important businessman while you're sitting on the family computer - give them a try.
Great, especially for portability May 25, 2006

The missing information in most reviews of this is the fact that it stores flat, so it is easily carried in a bag or briefcase without being damaged or distorting the bag.
The audio quality is great. For comfort, I dont hook it over my ears unless I specifically need to. Yes you need to then reset its position every so often but I don't find that a big deal.
Highly recommended.
 not so good for me March 21, 2006

Unfortunately when buying online, you cant get a feel for what your buying, and for this product, it was a huge let down. Im 5"10 male and average build, with a normal size noggin and this just doesnt sit comfortably on my head. It doesnt sit on the back of your neck, it attempts to hug the back of your head, but for me, it just wont fit. So it slips downwards and there is no way to adjust. The lead it quite heavy so after a while my ears ached somewhat and I had to constantly keep pushing it back up.The cord splits at the end, one end goes into my sound card and the other into the microphone slot. Unfortunately as I have a desktop volume controller on my desk, I cannot put the speaker part into it, and therefore, have to put the volume controller under the desk, which makes adjusting the sound a bit of a pain when you like to swap from voice chat to music every so often (yeah I know theres volume control on the lead, but it couldnt change the sound as much as I needed). So really, it was a huge disapointment, my seperate microphone and earbuds worked so much better. I guess this might be the same for a lot of headsets, but this is my experience with this one. Hope that helps people buy the right headset for you. If I did it again, I would definately go for something a bit more expensive, its very important to feel confortable wearing these things.
