The headset is very light and comfortable, it might seem fragible but it is made of pretty good material. It will not apply pressure to your ears, and the earbuds are very comfortable, as well as having a slight 30ş degree rotation (on its axis).
As far as sound quality goes, it is above average compared to other cheap headsets out there (~20$US seems to be the above average price). The speakers sound pretty decent, as long as you use them for voice. The high notes are pretty notable (accentuated a little bit too much), the midrange is ok, and the bass surprisingly manages to perform very well for the price. It is there and it serves the purpose of voice chat.
As far as the mic goes, it is not a professional mic (those are $30-$200), but it manages to perform well.
The microphone is very omnidirectional, so keep in mind for example I have a somewhat loud computer fan half a meter away from the mic, and you will hear it in the background.
As far as voice range goes, it manages to capture low notes pretty decently, again I have to restate, for the price, it is what you get. If you are not doing a radio show or a podcast, then this is great for voice chatting, gaming, voice recognition, etc.
A good tip would be to adjust the mic to be above the mouth by a few degrees and also turn its inner face way from you. Doing so allows for a better sampling of your voice as the recording will not be crippled by constant air noises from your breathing.
On the technical side, you might want to note that the microphone also has an outer side, so not only it captures your voice, but the ambient noise. The cord is pretty long, just enough to be comfortable, but not long enough for you to roam freely (I have it plugged in the front of my computer).
Final note: Good headset for the price, good for people on a budget.
Recommendation: If you want better quality, pay more, but if you just want to voice chat on Skype, this is great and cheap. Always test audio products before you buy them.

I have been using this headset for over a month with Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking software. It works perfectly! I am getting over a 99% accuracy rate! Before you spend "big bucks" on another headset, give this one a try. I know you will be happy with it!

I've tried a lot of these, many in the $70 to $130 range, and this one outperforms them all. Clear and loud in the ear, and it works perfectly for Skype and Mac Dictate, as well as everyday voice recording. Comfortable to wear, too. I only took off a star because the cord is so ridiculously long. But that's just me. A lot of people would really appreciate a long cord, so if you're one of them add that star back on!

additional component may be required for it to work
It never worked, why because apparently you have to buy a separate component to power it up if your laptop isn't equipped with the compatible power source. Read more

It does what it says it will...
This is a nice, durable headset. I use it instead of the one that came with the Dragon- I think it's more durable.

CLEAR SOUNDS
Bought this headset to use with the Dragon software and I love it. Works great with no external feedback and accepts voice commands quite clearly.

Koss CS95
Excellent product. I bought this to go with my Dragon. Well.......wouldn't you know it, a head set came with the product. So I use this as my backup if I have any problems.

Very good quality!
However, I need wireless, even though the cord is very long, it gets tangled quite often, or gets caught under my wheelchair.

Works very well
I use these for the program Dragon and they work much better than the original headphones sent with the Dragon system. I recommend them.
