4.0 out of 5 stars Great headset with a great value
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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great headset with a great value, August 13, 2005
This review is from: Behind-the-neck Headset W. Mic (Personal Computers)
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 review is from: Behind-the-neck Headset W. Mic (Personal Computers)
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.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound but Bad construction, July 10, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Behind-the-neck Headset W. Mic (Personal Computers)
This production is horrible. I bought this as a gift. Even though it had an average sound quality (Through Skype), the headset broke several months later with normal use. I would not recomend this product to anyone.

They conveniently fit in my briefcase pocket... "whip out" for convenient usage... and don't have a battery to drain! Wish it did double duty with my cellphone.
