4.0 out of 5 stars Head set
I bought this headset because I interview people over the phone and don't want to sit there with my head bent sideways all day. I have an ancient phone at work so I can't buy some $4 headset from walmart and jack it in. I found this on Amazon (sets in stores cost $100 and up) paid for it and got it a couple days later. It hooked up easily. You barely need the directions...

3.0 out of 5 stars OK Setup at a nice price
Bought one of these units several months ago, and the only problem I found is the low quality earpiece and microphone. I would recommend ditching them as soon as you get the unit and going with a higher quality set to plug into the base. Other than that, the price is certainly right.

Setup comes with batteries, base, and headset, but it does accept standard size 3.5mm...

Setup comes with batteries, base, and headset, but it does accept standard size 3.5mm stereo earphone and microphone jacks. There is also a 9V AC adapter jack on the back if you want to add a universal AC adapter for constant power.

This review is from: Labtec LVA-5501 Deluxe Telephone & Computer Headset System (Personal Computers)

I have an ancient phone at work so I can't buy some $4 headset from walmart and jack it in. I found this on Amazon (sets in stores cost $100 and up) paid for it and got it a couple days later. It hooked up easily. You barely need the directions. It works great. Just don't turn the volume all the way up. I did that on accident and made myself deaf due to the feedback screaming in my ear.
The best part about this headset is that I could replace it with any set out there made for a computer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very loud humm using amplifier, annyoing humm using just headset, December 11, 2006
This review is from: Labtec LVA-5501 Deluxe Telephone & Computer Headset System (Personal Computers)
I've tested this by calling at least 4 different people -- After a great deal of messing with the boom I was able to keep from sounding like darth vader, but everyone complained of an annoying humm that bothers the person I'm talking too. It does so if connected to the amp or directly to my computer. I've not had these problems with my other labtec headset.

I could deal with this (ie replace the headset) but there is a very loud humm using amplifier even at the lowest volume, and at high volume it is too painful to leave on. I tried using the amplifier plugged in and with batteries. I tried it with the headset it came with and my other headset which I know is good. I tried it on two computers.

Any way I try this setup and parts, they just don't work well enough to use and am trying to return them.
