Great headphone with microphone. A bit heavy, yet sturdy and still comfortable. Produces great sound for enjoyment of music. Microphone reproduces spoken sounds with great clarity. Excellent for recording of speech, voice communication and gaming. Due to relatively high impedance, will eat your batteries fast, if used with any portable devices.

This headphone/mircrophone made for a nice replacement of my original set that came with my Rosetta Stone program. They are very comfortable and now I can spend hours on the computer. They do a great job blocking outside sound as well. The mircrophone quality is fair. I don't recommend it for singing or wind instruments but is OK for talking.

"Product Description
Closed-ear headphones with dynamic mic"


These DO NOT have a dynamic mic element. They have an ELECTRET mic element..at least the pair I received sure does as it's clearly stated right on the front of the package in big letters "CM500 Headset With Electret Microphone"

that's why they come with the little battery box as an electret element needs power to the element where a dynamic element doesn't. I should have returned these as soon as I saw that as for my needs I prefer a dynamic microphone
