4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for Skype!, August 20, 2009

Works great on Windows 7 x64. I installed the UK drivers (downloaded from logitech UK website) and it integrates flawlessly with Skype. If you need Skype functionality, do not use the drivers from the CD in the box (due to some licensing disputes, it does not include Skype support.)
The quality of the speakers/mic is really good.

A co-worker let me know when this dropped down to under $10 on [...] - I bought it through Amazon with free super-saving shipping. My co-worker had it running on Windows XP, so I was a little worried since I'm running Windows 7 Pro.

I downloaded the Vista version of CallCentral from Logitech and installed it (when prompted during installation if I wanted to install CallCentral AND the drivers I chose both). The speakers worked fine, but the microphone wouldn't pickup any sound.

After some snooping on the web, I uninstalled CallCentral and then re-installed it. This time, I right-clicked the installation file and chose "Troubleshoot compatibility" from the drop-down menu. It leads you through some steps, and I told it to run it as though it was running under Windows XP SP3. Installation went through fine and now it's working as planned! The mute button and volume knob both work.

Sound quality appears to be fine, but I haven't used it extensively. For under $10 how can you go wrong?

This review is from: Logitech QuickCall USB Speakerphone (Personal Computers)

In my company, we frequently (ie., several times daily) speak with people all over the globe. Some of us use speakerphones, some use headphones, and some of us use either, depending on what's handy. The only way I can tell the difference between what someone is using, is if the video is running. It is convenient, the sound is good. It is very practical. We never have a problem (Note, however, that we use XT. I have no experience with this with Vista.)
