4.0 out of 5 stars Solid headset at a fair price, July 28, 2008

Before owning this headset(plantronics .audio 365) I had a plantronics .audio 360(both are about the same price). The two headsets are very similar, but there are a few important differences. First this pair(.audio 365) is MUCH lighter than the .audio 360, and is far more comfortable and it does not squeeze the head like the .audio 360. However, it does not block outside sound as well as the .audio 360's did. The bass quality of the .audio 365 is better than the bass quality of the .audio 360's. For some, the bass might be a little too good, it can drown the higher notes out sometimes. My complaint about both headsets is the microphone. It isn't very receptive, and it is positioned off to the side rather than in front of your mouth. But I don't use the microphone very often, so it is not a major issue for me.

Conclusion: Good sound quality at a fair price, with a mic that leaves a little to be desired. The sound quality on the 360's and 365's are very similar, but I prefered the way the 360's sounded. The 365's are much more comfortable and do not weigh the head down.

These headphones are soft on the ears for long term wear. Easily adjustable to fit different head sizes. Doesn't put too much pressure on the head. They sound great when I play games. I have only used the mic a few times and received no complains from teammates. In-line volume control is convenient and the cord is just long enough. This is a very good headset for the price.

I just got these in the mail today. All I can say is they are awesome! I played Battlefield 2 with them today and the bombs and guns going off around me were so immersive it was fantastic! As I write this review I am listening to some songs on my iTunes that I haven't heard in awhile and they sound so good! I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone. I just hope they hold up!

I also should say that the cord on these things is really long...like 5-6 feet or something, which I really appreciate after all the 3.5' cords I've used on other headphones. I'm very happy with them. Four stars just because I don't know how long they will last. Will update!

These headphones are still going strong. No problems whatsoever. I had to add a home theater system to my tv because the tv sounded flat after using these for so long. I notice that the price has gone up since I bought them. I don't know if they are worth the extra money, depends on how expensive they get. For what I paid for them they were a good deal.

Well the microphone finally died on these. I play games with other people, so have to have a mic. Came on here to shop for a new one. Microphone on these was never very good anyway and people complained that I wasn't loud enough on Teamspeak. Took one star away because they only lasted a little over a year and the mic issue.
