3.0 out of 5 stars Not great for those with glasses, September 13, 2004

If you wear glasses, consider getting a different headset. Because this is a behind the head model, it rests on your ears -- similar to a pair of glasses. If you already wear glasses (like I do) you will most likely find it uncomfortable. The headset does have exceptional voice pickup and sound quality (for gaming) however. It is just a bit uncomfortable with glasses.

This is my second logitech headset. My first one is a Logitech Internet Chat Headset with item model # 980158-0403. Each of these two headsets has a microphone. The price of this one is a little bit lower, but that doesn't mean this one is worse. In fact, after compared them for a while, I have to say this one has a better sound quality. Maybe just as the description, this one is designed for PC games, that one is only for chat. Maybe, the price difference is because # 980158-0403 comes with four plates with different colors. A brief comparison (0 is worst and 5 is the best) is given as follows:

#980158-0403 #980233-0403

4- 4+ Sound quality

4 4 Wearing comfort

4 5 Reasonable price

4 1 # of colors

4 4+ Overall satisfaction

I think for a headset, the most important thing is the sound quality and being comfortable to wear. I don't care how many colors it comes with.

Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great basic headset, but cuts into the ears, October 18, 2005

This is a great headset for the price, but I ran into some comfort issues. This headset wraps around the back of the head, not over the top and there is a groove along the band where the wire connects the left speaker to the right speaker. This band sits on top of your ears and after extended use, the channel tends to abrade the ears. Bummer, cuz it's great in every other respect.
