My company sold over 500 PC130 headsets last year. I've tried every headset on the market. The PC130 is solidly built, we've had zero returns from customers for broken headsets. The microphones fail eventually, but all microphones eventually fail and these last longer than most. The headphones eventually rattle a little but last much longer than Koss headsets. The headphone sound quality is very good, not as good as more expensive headsets but very good for the price. The microphone sound quality is adequate. Compared to a 10mm microphone, this 6mm microphone doesn't noise-cancel well, and it has no low-end (bass). But no one makes headsets with 10mm microphones any more, consumers seem to care only about headphone sound quality, not microphone sound quality. Another plus with this headset is that the microphone can be wiped clean with alcohol wipes, if several people are using the headset.

The first set of these headphones i got from amazon did not work, but i sent them back and the replacement was here in no time. The headphones have very good sound for this particular style. And the on cord volume control is very handy. The cord is very long and because it attaches to only one side of the headphones it does not get caught up easily which is great for using them with a computer. The think i like most though, is that the headphones are very comfortable. They are very light and do not get in the way of my glasses.
They also reduce noise but do not cut you off from the rest of the world - important in many office settings. Finally even if i have them up quite loud my officemates still cannot hear them.

All in all a really nice set of headphones

I've bought other headsets and they were simply too heavy. This one is an excellent balance between light weight and substantive performance. Would have preferred leather ear muffs to the synthetic foam which tends to fall apart after long use.
