5.0 out of 5 stars Great Plug and Play Sound For The Price, January 14, 2009

By	Stephen Mack (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just got the JWIN headset. Plug and play out of the box (Vista). Great sound too from my laptop. I have a pair of regular JWIN headphones but had to route the audio out through an amp to get adequate volume. The JBM55's play great directly from the USB port. Nice accessory for less than 25 bucks.

Note: I use the mic for Dragon Naturally Speaking. For the microphone training to work with Vista, you must go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Manage Audio Devices -> Recording -> Microphone -> Properties -> Advanced and uncheck "Exclusive Mode"

4.0 out of 5 stars Head and shoulders with the rest..., June 11, 2009

By	Robert D. Rush Jr. "Scorpion" (Pennsyltucky) - See all my reviews

The product may come off as chinsey due to the fact that it's an off-brand electronics item. This fact also lays way to techno-fobia in the light of getting taken for a ride on a piece of scrap.

While not Logitech or Microsoft branded the headset is quite good. The unit was immediately recognized by Vista. The microphone was instantly set as the primary recording device and the headset stereophonic speakers automagically became the primary audible output device as well. I had zero percent setup tasking as the system went in smoothly. Quite the plug and play scenario.

The headset harness is somewhat large and accommodating for the cranially excessive but, the less skull mass inclined might want to invest in a pad for the the crown harness.

The speakers can be excrutiatingly loud which is good considering that all one has to do is turn the things down. The magic of science and what is known as a volume control. The speakers have an extraordinary frequency range for a less known device like this and the sound is crisp with excellent fidelity.

The mic is somewhat annoying as it is not a solid boom but a flexible bendy-boom where you'll have to take a minute or two to adjust it bringing it in for optimal performance. There isn't allot of feedback from the mic in the headset but upon setting up the mic with Windows through a test of the voice recognition system you will see that the mic works really well.

For just over $20 it goes without saying that this is one of those sleeper buys with great value for the money.

I gave this item 4 out of 5 stars due to the fact that the head harness is a bit unwieldly. Outside of this solitary issue the item in question is of an excellent value. Anyone not excedingly concerned about a snug fit but, are instead looking at the item from a performance basis could ascertain that a proper rating of 5 out of 5 stars is accurate.
