4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice headphones if you have a normal sized head, December 8, 2006

I've owned this headset for just about 7+ months now and I have had zero issues with it's performance. The microphone is crisp and is clear when using Teamspeak or Ventrilo. The sound is clear and the bass is nice and low. I've even dropped them or yanked them off the table by snagging the wire a few times and nothing has happened to them. The only issue I have so far is that there is no adjustment for different sized heads. While the earphones themselves swivel to accomidate most people, I'm a big guy and hence have a larger head. After about 4 hours or so with these headphones on my ears get rather irritated. However I would think they would be fine for a majority of the population. The earphone are somewhat cushioned and are covered with a vinyl type of material that seems to be rather durable. I would recommend this headset to any gamer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible microphone interference, November 28, 2007

This review is from: Plantronics Audio 360 Multi-Performance PC Headset (Office Product)

The speakers on this headset are outstanding, and the fit is VERY comfortable. However, the microphone picks up a tremendous amount of interference from the computer. The sound is a steady tone, and seems to pulsate when the hard drive is active. My troubleshooting indicates that it is due to poor wire and audio jack shielding. When connected to a computer that uses an independent audio card instead of integrated audio, the problem is not as pronounced. It is also not as bad when connected to a lapton that is running on battery power instead of an AC cord. I purchased five of these headsets for family members, and all of them have this problem.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth for gaming or music. I would look for better, January 4, 2008

Just bought this headphone few days ago from Frys. It looked kind of nice and with leather cups (fake leather ? not sure :-) ) and looked very elegant. Also it promised nice bass and good for music and gaming.
Once I plugged it into my laptop,it was worser than many other headphones I have (Obviously they are expensive ones). But it was worser than my cheap panasonic ear stereo earphones. So the bass was not sufficient at all. Wasn't worth listening to music on this. No distortions, but Cheap speakers in it. So quality is not good. Gaming! Forget it. Gaming headphones should have superior bass and power to it. It won't even pick up good volume. I have to crank the laptop volume to 100% to get some effect. I also have SRS WOW installed, and even that won't help the quality for this headphone. I paid $40 for this.

Also I noticed that the microphone picks up noise from the laptop( fans , I guess). Well,in summary, you get what you pay for.

It will never be like my $300+ bose headsets for music..:-) What a bass. But then I thought I'll get something for gaming and music and internet chat together. If you get it for around $25, then its ok. If you planning to use it for internet chat or phone calls, then it's fine. Not for gaming, not for music ( if you prefer quality).

Oh , and also, people with small-med ears will be a good fit. Otherwise it will hurt your ears.
