I've owned five Logitech headsets in the past. I'm on my fourth Precision headset I've owned over the past few years. The other one was the Logitech Premium. When they work, they actually work very well. The audio is clear coming in and out and it's a fairly comfortable design on this one. But, I have NEVER had one last more than 5 months. Like I said, I've owned 4 of them in the past, and each and every single time they'd broken due to being short circuited. I use them a lot, 1-8 hours a day for gaming. So, it's obvious that the design is not meant to endure heavy use. That little audio adjuster thing, it's poorly designed. Usually, what happens is this, in this order (3/4 times with the Precision and same with the other one I owned), you'll lose sound in either the right or left side of your ear. Then, shortly after, you'll lose use of the mic.

I take pretty good care of mine, the 4th one I bought broke because I accidentally stepped on the WIRE. Apparently the wire can't take a 180 lb boy stepping on it? I barely yanked it and it broke, I'm talking the yank on it couldn't of been more than enough pressure to unscrew a loosely connected lid off a Gatorade bottle. This is a very unreliable headset and I would advise you don't buy it. Any other report that tells you it's reliable is wrong. They either don't use it enough, or haven't had it long enough. I usually take good care of my computer stuff, and I took fairly good care of this, I mean a snag is bound to happen eventually - it's inevitable. So, now the mic is broken on the one I most recently got. I told myself when I was at Best Buy - don't buy a Logitech, you've owned four up until this point, do you really want to get a fifth Logitech made mic? Of course it wasn't my first choice, but my second choice was 130$ and I didn't want to spend that on a mic. Best Buy for some reason has a bad selection on mics in my area.

I've spoken to several people who own the same set of headsets, they have all experienced the same problem. I even checked a few forums, they all say it's common for them to just go out without any abuse to them. Go do the research yourself. It's the most unreliable POS headset and I hope Logitech goes out of business for creating this. I'm truly disgusted by this and feel like taking suit against them. And in no way am I exaggerating the downsides of this mic. It works well, but like everything else, eventually will break - in this case, it's extremely rare it be fully in tact after anything more than five months even if you never drop it once. It's faulty in design, don't buy it - you will be disappointed after you're satisfied. Hope you find this useful, I'm just giving you an honest evaluation in past experience mixed with my strongly biased opinion. It is opinion that I trash talk it and you will be disappointed, it is however fact that it will not last long. You don't buy four of the same headsets and have not one of them last more than five months. You just don't.

i purchase this headsets 3 years ago and it's still working good no problems so far, they could be comfortable or a real pain if you dont useit properly! the mic is good enough, no problems on teamspeak or ventrilo or xfire or msn or skype... to me they are great for the price that back then was like 14$...

I hate wearing headsets, i find them uncomfortable, they usually give me a headache and irritates my skin hurting the back of my head, ears, etc.... (where ever it is touching)

But i have to say this is the most comfortable headset i have worn, it would have been nice if the strap was adjustable, but i dont find it to be a problem. The ears still get hot and irritated, but much less so than other sets.

The sound quality is clear and loud. The cord is very long and allows movement for those people who tend to jump and move around while gaming with controllers. It is also thicker and more durable than those of other headsets. The frame is also solid and durable as well.

I have been using this eight months now and have not had any problems with it.

These headphones are first and foremost, comfortable. I have a normal sized head and they fit perfectly. They never ever felt tight, and they never feel off.

Sound quality was perfect. However, after some use the inline volume control began to have a bit of a short-circuit, so every once in a while sound would only come out of the left earphone. A tap on the volume would fix the problem.

The mic volume was acceptable. I found that I had to turn the mic volume up all the way in Windows to correctly register my voice, but could just be my sound card.

Overall these are very very comfortable, good sounding and a good value. Im actually intending to buy a second pair, so I do recommed them.

I bought these for mid-level gaming, nothing fancy. Sound quality is decent, microphone performance is more than acceptable. In-line volume control is difficult to adjust (poor design.) Microphone boom works well, nothing fancy to fuss with there. The open-air earcup design is useful for me, as it keeps my ears from overheating and keeps out of trouble, as I can still hear my wife calling me.

The big problem I have with this headset is that it's obviously designed for someone with a head several sizes smaller than mine, and I don't have a huge head (size 10-1/4 hat.) Perhaps it was developed for teen gamers? It's not adjustable in any way, so I've take to wearing it behind my head until I find something better. I'm glad I didn't pay the extra money for the digital version...
