4.0 out of 5 stars Great headset with a great value, August 13, 2005

I got this headset mainly for Skype and other chat applications. In terms of sound quality, Altec Langsing has always been a winner so these was no surprise for the superb audio quality when I first put it on. It sounds great to the point that I could use it to listen to my MP3s as well as movies.

As for the noise cancellation mic, I was definitely surprise how clear the captured sound was. My friend whom I have tested this headset with over Skype (in a different country) was very surprise on the quality of my voice during our conversation.

The only complain I have, thus the reason for the 4 stars, is the foldable part... Well, the second reason for me to get this foldable headset is so that I could carry it with me on my business trips. The unit does fold but not to a size that I consider compact... In addition, the microphone doesn't fold either so you get a pretty awkward folded headset to carry... Anyway, I will be taking it with me on my next flight and only time will tell if I would consider this a good travel companion or not.

If you are using this headset strictly at home, this would be the headset to get. Oh, before I forget, this headset also feels great and comfortable to wear even for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Comfortable!, December 19, 2005

This headset is one of the most comfortable PC headset. The hang on ear style feels like wearing sunglasses backward, no strain and pressure on the head! Before this headset I had the Logitech Premium Headset but returned it for this. The Logitech was extremely uncomfortable and gives headache.

All Altec Lansing headsets have excellent comfort design. The only drawback about this headset is the 36mm driver, definately less bass than Logitech's 40mm but comfort is the most important factor IMO. The sound quality is pretty good with decent bass, nothing spectular.

Overall this headset is the best in this price range.

Im highly dissappointed, all I 've heard are great reviews..and I was very excited about this item AHS302i when my boyfriend and I saw it at Amazon.com.It turns out I can never get it to stay in place...seems like my head is toooo small for your standards..and it slides right off my head..i tried bending it a bit..but then..guess what? my ears might be again tooo small for your standards

In other words..I do not recommend this product unless you have big head and ears to hold it in place.

Im currently away from home, I am in Central America on business and my boyfriend is in Tx, USA, so we thought what better way to keep in touch trhough the best quality that your company offers...but turns out..Im truly dissapointed and sad and mad.
