4.0 out of 5 stars Way more convenient than a conventional microphone!, May 22, 2000
By Rusty Keele (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this headset for two reasons only: to use with Internet telephony, and to use with my language learning programs. I have been pleased, especially since it wasn't very expensive and I wasn't expecting much. Here are what I consider the pros and cons to be:

THE GOOD: 1) It is lightweight and comfortable. It is easy to adjust the headband and the boom microphone. There have been a few times where I have gone for hours without realizing that they are on my head! 2) Convenience has to be its greatest asset! It is much more convenient to use than a hand held microphone and speakers. I have been using Dialpad.com, and this headset has taken care of the echo that other people hear. It also doesn't pick up as much background noise as my other mic did. As for the language programs, it is much nicer using this headset! Now I can type on the keyboard, or use the mouse, while I am practicing my Spanish! (And my wife doesn't have to listen along with me!)

THE BAD: 1) The cord is a little bit inconvenient. The 3 meters are nice - if you like walking around while you talk. But I am almost always sitting right in front of the computer, and the cord does present itself as quite a bundle. The cord connecting the boom microphone to the headset sometimes pokes me right behind my ear, but I have been trying to tame it so that it will stay down in place, and it is starting to work now. 2) If you want to use your speakers then you have to unplug the microphone and plug the speakers back in. This probably isn't too much of a problem, unless you're like me and you have your computer crammed into a corner!

OVERALL: This was the best headset/microphone combo that we could find for this price - and it has been well worth putting up with all the little inconveniences! Go for it! (Oh, did I mention that it comes with a one-year warranty?)

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, April 20, 2000
By A Customer
I have to admit I didn't expect too much for the price, but I have been very pleased with the quality of these headphones. The mircophone works well, the inline volume control is handy, the sound is pretty good, and they are actually quite comfortable. I have spent up to two hours wearing the headphones and didn't encounter the discomfort that usually comes with "Walkman" type headphones (this was the biggest surprise). Obviously these aren't going to sound like a $200 set, but for the price they are pretty good. I use the headphones for making calls over the internet and for that they work very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sound, most comfortable headset I've ever used!, November 16, 2000
When I needed a new headset( I wanted to try internet telephony), I wanted more than a simple mono set. I wanted a great pair of headphones that hopefully had a decent mike. The Plantronics LS-1 is quite simply the best headset I've ever had. Overall quality of the h'set is first rate. The sound quality is fantastic. It's on par with any high end h'phones I've tried. Combine this with the "weightless" comfort and you have a winner. I read other reviews and all the accolades on comfort are true. The mike is very good quality, no reverb as on cheaper h'sets. I'd recommend as stereo headphones, even if you never use the mike, just rip it off if ya like.
