5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price
I use this for Skype and couldn't be happier with the quality of this product, especially for the price.

I have had comments that my voice is clearer using this headset with skype than on our landline. Is this praise for skype? or for this headset? I will let you decide, but the headset probably has something to do with it

3.0 out of 5 stars If you live in a cave, these are the headphones for you
My uncle uses these on Skype to chat with me while we participate in historical simulations. He sounds like he is sitting in a cave when he talks to me, but he assures me he is not in a cave. He bought them because they were on sale. Facetious! I would not recommend them at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does The Job and Does It Well, October 12, 2007

This review is from: Pc Headseet Binaural Nc Mute Vol for Computer Use (Office Product)
This is the PC Audio 330 Headset With In-Line Controls from Plantronics.

My expectations were low as this isn't exactly in the upper class of Plantonics' line of headsets. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.

The microphone is nice and clear without superfluous noise or breath pops. As an added convenience, it folds up and out of the way if only the headphones are needed.

The headphones are clear and provide a significantly positive sound delivery. While they are comfortable enough, the earpads are foam and not cupped, padded leather. This also precludes them from having any significant exterior sound dampening benefits. The over-the-head band is made of a high-impact plastic which leads itself to the appearance of a lesser quality. This is strictly a matter of aesthetics, not function.

A valued feature not included on some comparative sets is the in-line Mute/Volume. This feature should be included in all headsets as it comes in quite handy to quickly and easily correct those sudden volume changes without having to fiddle with the system's controls. I find I am always adjusting it a bit here or there to maintain a comfortable listening level.

The sound is good although it lacks in the bass. It obviously isn't a high-end, quality speaker although it still produces a very good sound. The other minor issue is the microphone is on the left side whereas I prefer it on the right. While not uncommon, it remains a minor, though nonetheless notable, issue.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to somebody looking for an inexpensive headset with clear sound and a good microphone. If you are looking to spend less than $50.00, the Plantonics PC Audio 330 should certainly be considered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality and comfort for a low price, September 26, 2006

I stumbled across this at one of the local office supply stores. Perfect for my needs -- casual music listening and occasional voice chat at my PC. It's sturdy, and it feels MUCH more comfortable than the Logitech "premium" headset that it's replacing, and it's cheaper too! It seems to be a hard-to-find product, but it's well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, just not with my MacBook Pro, September 6, 2006

I thought I would save a few dollars and also save a little space by getting an analog headset for VoIP.

Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro has a 'line in' jack and cannot use the mic in this headset. The headphones sounds great and are comfortable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Prcie, February 19, 2008
I use the headset for Skype calls and it works well and a good price. You can spend more and better comfort but all and all I've been happy with it and the sound is good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks nice but speakers quit, May 11, 2008

I purchased this for my girlfriend. A few months of use (heavy use) the speakers quit, though the mic was fine. She received a replacement easily from the company. However the speakers on the replacement unit just failed. So that's 2 unit's in 6 months, kinda disappointing. I'm replacing it with a Panasonic KX-TCA60. This is what I've been using for a while now. Great sound, simple, and durable. That's a lot for $15.

2.0 out of 5 stars Breaks easily, December 29, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pc Headseet Binaural Nc Mute Vol for Computer Use (Office Product)
I bought two. Both broke within a week. If you turn the earphone with moderate pressure the plastic holder casing pops open. It can be closed again but just pops open every usage. Its a product bug at best. Also on one the mic became loose and now flops around. Too bad because the design and sound are not bad. Just bad craftsmanship.

1.0 out of 5 stars Microphone doesn't pick up sound, November 30, 2007
This review is from: Pc Headseet Binaural Nc Mute Vol for Computer Use (Office Product)
This headset is horrible, it's not adjustable and doesn't pick up sound. It swivels up and down but ends up 4 inches from your mouth. When I called customer service about adjusting the boom, they weren't even familiar with the working parts of the product.

I purchased this item through amazon from Ritzcamera and decided to return or upgrade it the day that it arrived, after 5 calls and 3 weeks I haven't received the promised return authorization code that they promised would arrive within 5 business days. I am never going to buy anything from Ritzcamera again.
