5.0 out of 5 stars Performs as claimed, December 28, 2006

By	Rajin Cajun "Tool freak" (Lafayette, LA) - See all my reviews

I needed to find a headset with a noise canceling microphone for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. I'm currently dictating this review with the headset while my office is being vacuumed, so I would have to say it performs very well.
Sound quality is excellent. The travel case is an unusual bonus that I appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Technology, June 28, 2007

By	MrTwistoff "hobbesclarity" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

These are a really nice piece of technology, and not limited to Notebooks. I picked them up because the GE set I was using crapped out on me, all kinds of static. It was the right pick, because they're sturdy and well designed.

I use them for IP Telephony and they are really nice. The mic is clear, very little static, and I like the adjustable earpieces.

The mini jacks and USB connections are really nice - in case you happen to blow out your sound card jacks.

The fact that they are foldable, is just a bonus. The carrying case is great if you travel.

Mute and volume adjustment on the wire pod and no static interference when you make adjustments or switch the mic on and off. They are quite comfortable, and you can still hear ambient sounds if you need to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product when it comes to voice recognition..., May 26, 2008

By	L. To "Tech Freak" (Freeport, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a high quality headset/headphones. Before I go into deep detail why I love this headset, I like to forewarn that I am tech geek and test everything very thoroughly. Furthermore, I am very picky and extremely quick to return things if the product does not do its intent purpose to my liken. In this case, I wanted this headset to be a great communicator headset during Skype calls as well as for me working on the voice recognition software. Onward to this review - here is my + and - of this set of headphones:

Positive:
* Extremely comfortable and multiple settings to fit onto your head correctly.
* Has a USB connector that has its own "sound card" built in. Why is this important? Not all computer/laptop's soundcard can handle voice and sound @ the same time:i.e. when you talk, your customer voices might get blank out in the process... Hence if you have problems with this headset - try the USB doggle, it will runs circle on your computer's sound card.
* The boom mic can be turn backwards to be out of the way when you are not using it. This serve 2 things that are dear to me: 1) I don't look like a dork when I have it on my head when I am just listening to music and 2) it is more inviting to my co-workers to approach to me when they have a question.
* Sound quality is excellent.
* The Boom Mic has a very good pick-up and works REALLY well for Microsoft Vista Voice Recognition software(comes free with its OS - bet you didn't know it even existed, did ya - try it - it is truely amazing considering it is completely free). Hence, this is a very good communication headset. I really wish I can connect this to my cell phone some how...
* The headset is fold-able and has its own hard plastic case that has molded plastic molding inside the case so your headset is well protected in the box(this includes the USB doggle)! Hence the case isn't just a box so you can dump everything in there recklessly. Yes, putting away force you to do it correctly. Personally I thought the case is well thought out and consider as a must if you are a traveler...

Negative:
* It is NOT bluetooth(IMHO, I don't think there is any bluetooth headset will past the voice recognition software anyway) - NOT a huge burden.
* Cord is quite long can be quite trouble some. I can live with it.
* The ear "muffs" is NOT ideal to wear during a workout - will pickup too much sweat. Yuck!
* Did I say it is NOT bluetooth?!

In short, I love this headset a lot and use it throughout my day(listening to music, answering calls via Skype, and read out my dictation to MS Word and Outlook). I really wish I can use this headset with my cell phone somehow... Did I say I really wish this headset is bluetooth capable?
