3.0 out of 5 stars Better than Plantronics, but still not great, June 4, 2005

I had a Plantronics DSP-500 headset that quit working the same day I received it. So I bought this Logitech and have had more reliable service from it, and the audio quality seems comparable to the Plantronics. I'm happy with this unit because it didn't break on day one and still seems to be going strong. I do wish there was something more professional available but it seems that most computer headsets aren't that great yet.

I use this for Skype conversations and don't really have any complaints with the audio quality. It's still better than a telephone.

2.0 out of 5 stars bad mechanical design, March 23, 2005

I had it for 10 months, used it daily for internet voice chat and a bit of music listening. No big demands. Had clear sound, the mic was fine, the USB convenient. However, although I treated the unit with utmost care, after 10 months the wires in the cable connected to the inline volume controller broke up, and I could hear the sound through the phones only at a specific cable bending angle. Then, after 3 days, the wires totally gave up. I can not get to the wires since the volume unit seems to be welded together. Will try to get RMA.

I went to Staples and found this one and read the features and was impressed and wanted to try as rest that fall in the category are a little pricy! but after i had this product for 4 days i am disappointed at the workman ship, the usb interface (black little rectangle thing) is bulky and i could not wear the phones comfortably as i had lot of ear rubbibg despite the soft earpads, I just did not like this product and i am shipping this back to amazon and am planning on getting SONY MDR-NC6 which i tried at my friends place.
