This is going to be a view point from someone who plays a few games, but I don't consider myself an expert gamer (yet). I play 2-3 games (COH, GW and WoW) reguarly. So I still have a lot to learn. I also use Teamspeak while playing.

Fitting/Feel- I bought this headset yesterday, and I returned them today. They felt horrible. Stupid me didnt bother reading the package to know that these are "behind the head". But I figure I might gets used to it... well, I didnt even want to try for a long period of time. My head felt like it was in a vice, but at the same time they felt like they wanted to fall off (and take my ears with it).

Mic- I was picking every sound up in the room except my own voice. Maybe if I learned to throw my voice, this would have been an awsome mic. I tried to adjust the mic for a good hour, and got it to the point that I thought seemed "fair", but it still seemed to pick up background noises (like me clicking the mouse, etc.). Friends also told me this through teamspeak.

Sound Quality- Sound was fair. I adjusted this for quite some time in hopes of making the sound a little better. But its not easy adjusting the sound with your head in a vice while trying to throw your voice. But really... the sound was "okay" but nothing to write home about.

Look- The ear peices are very spiffy looking... they have that "Im a hard core gamer!" look. But you mideswell strap 2 1980's style boombox speakers on your head. They are very large. Not that I care what I look like... heck, if they worked good, I wouldnt care what I looked like.

So what do we have here? We have 2 boombox speakers strapped to your head with a vice grip, while throwing your voice.

I love Logitech, I have their gaming keyboard (with the LCD), their gaming mouse, and I hoped their gaming headset. But I was wrong.

All headsets seem to have a few downfalls... usually its style, comfort, mic and sound. Hmmmm.... lol, I guess what I am trying to say is... I expect it to be good, not GREAT.

Look for other headsets.

Sound quality is 'ok', is what you would expect from a cheap headset. I didn't allow this to be on my head long enough to test the mic. They freak me out. After placing the ear extractors onto my head, in about 5 minutes my ears feel like they will permanently be pointed strait out to the side. After about 10 minutes they are what I would consider 'painful'. After about an hour they feel great...er that is because you went back to best buy and exchanged them for a different set. Logitech has never let me down, until now. Simply put, don't buy these.

Within 5 minutes of opening the box to this poorly constructed headset, the microphone dangled loosely from its housing, the cheap plastic conector having broken. The pads on the earpieces fell off and were very difficult to put back on, frustrating and very annoying to say the least. Returned to the store from which they came the next day. Only wish I could give them a zero rating. My opinion of this, and many other Logitech products,----yech!

After wearing these things for maybe 5-10 minutes they are very uncomfortable. The large padding around the outside does little to help with comfort. They sound like listening through a pringles can. I tried using these with Counter-Strike: Source, and the gun shots sounded like hi-pitched firecrackers. Very annoying.

I returned these and picked up a Altec Lansing headset and mic for $10 more. Much happier with it.

I expected much better quality for a Logitech product. The headset is very harsh on your ears after wearing it for more than a hour. The boom is not adjustable and does not pick up my voice well at all. The worst part of it was that the mic stopped working after two months. I am very disappointed with Logitech and will stay away from their headset products in the future.

This set has an interesting design in which it goes behind your head and holds itself on by sitting on top of your ears. Unfortunately, this grows uncomfortable rather quickly, especially so if you wear glasses.

I really like the design of the mic, as it does not sit in front of your mouth, but rather off to the side. The in-line volume control, however, does not function well. The "mute microphone" function on it did not work, instead simply making the mic quieter. Additionally, the volume control doohickey makes it harder than it should be to adjust the volume.

My biggest peeve with this set, however, is that it did not even last me 30 days. That's right. I had it for less than a month before it broke. Now, I don't treat my headsets harshly. In fact, I'd say that I took very good care of it for the less-than-a-month that I had it. The cord exiting the set simply ceased to function properly. This I could not believe, considering Logitech's typically good track record for delivering excellent products. It seems they went astray with this one, however, coupling a non-ergonomic design with poor craftsmanship. And as a result I would advise you to refrain from purchasing this headset.

These hurt my ears, and because they use pressure to stay attached to your head, they press your ears against your head when they work, and after a while, the pressure wears down, then they pull your ears down and I'm sure after a while they will just stop working, because they can't attach to your head anymore. I'm very sorry that I bought these. The microphone is very low quality too.

I bought this headset recently and was amazingly disappointed with it almost immediately. Other than a stylish design, this headset has no upside. The sound quality is terrible, even for the price. The mic is worthless; in all my attempts to use it in gaming(what this headset was purportedly designed for) failed utterly. People were unable to make out my voice at all. Don't waste your time buying this trash, you'll just have to return it and replace it within days.

I bought this headset because it looked sturdy and had good specs for the price. Within 10 seconds of firing up World of Warcraft with these on (before even trying the voice part), I noticed that the audio quality was way below par. When you loot an NPC that has money, there is a kind of ringing noise like a cash register that occurs when you take the money. At least it sounds like that through any decent speakers or headphones. With this set it sounded like I was taking a wet bag of money from the bottom of a muddy swamp.

Also, music has no oomph and voice is tinny. I will be returning these and getting a Sennheiser set, either the PC145 or the PC155.

This is a great headset. Sounds are crisp and the mic is extremely clear. I have two sound cards. One for a 5.1 speaker system and one for the headset. With the open ear design, I can listen to both. I would recommend this headset to anyone who likes to play online games or just simple chatting.
