I have owned four of these and none of them lasted more than 6 months. The left earphone on each of them started malfunctioning and eventually died. The mic also died on two. A very common complaint for this model and several others made by Logitech. (see other reviews on Amazon and the Logitech homepage)

This is very unfortunate since this headset fit me well and the mic was good... while it lasted, of course.

This headset comes with a 2 year warranty, but don't bother trying to get a replacment from Logitech. I have sent 2 emails to support and I've been waiting on a response for nearly 2 weeks now. The only response I got was an automated one that said my email had been received and I should expect a response within one business day. I have come to the conclusion that they either don't have anybody working there or my emails were sent directly to the recycle bin. Logitech won't respond when you need support, but they will definitely take your money!

If you enjoy spending money on a new headset every few months, purchase a Logitech one. As I said, I like this particular model, but I highly reccomend giving your money to another company.

This review is from: Logitech Stereo Headset H230 (Personal Computers)

I had an old USB headset that was much more expensive. I didn't want to use yet another USB port or get yet another USB hub so I found this headset and based on the reviews bought it to talk via Skype, ICQ, MSN, etc. primarily with people in Russia and Estonia. It attaches to the sound card on your PC.(I did have to disconnect the speakers to attach it so it's one or the other) The first time I used it, I was surprised to find that the sound quality was as good as my internet phone which is as good as, if not better, than a land line. Subsequent conversations were less successful which may have been more a function of bandwidth and packet delivery than the Headset. It is relatively comfortable and easy to use and when I recorded a conversation on Skype, I listened to my own voice and found the quality very good insofar as I can tell how I sound.

The price is right and with Amazon's great free shipping, I bought it from Amazon where because of the free two day shipping plan I have, I buy as much as possible(no. I am not affiliated with Amazon).

Clarity of conversation is excellent. Headphones are comfortable yet provide somewhat of a challenge for those of us with smaller heads. However, if you stay positioned and do not make many moves this is not a problem. I would like to see some type of headset adjustment in future models.
