Never again [Posted on 2008-08-06] As with many others, I have been having problems with the headphones. The left speaker went out completely. Even if I do swivel with the chord, I can't hear continuous sound from the left speaker because it goes out so quickly. I recommend using earphones or other headphones and getting a better microphone. This mic is so close to your mouth, you often hear complaints about hearing your breathing. I'm never buying headsets like these again.
Not too Shabby [Posted on 2008-08-13] It has been three months since I bought this headphone and it is still functioning very well. For that price this is definitely a great buy! Just don't expect it to totally silence out the noise around you. It's not BOSE or Altec Lansing and it's <$15. If you are looking for a cheap headphone because your roommate had been complaining about your music, grab this.
A great product at first... [Posted on 2008-08-15] I bought this product in April because I liked the price and features it offered. Up until recently, it was working perfectly. The sound had been great and the microphone worked well. I also liked the volume control feature. Now, however, the right earphone sound is sometimes barely audible. The sound from it comes and goes. Now, I am hoping that I will not have to send it in to the manufacturer for a replacement. This is not acceptable for a practically new product.
Not mac compatible ... [Posted on 2008-08-22] Do not be fooled by the mac compatibility logo on the box. This product is falsely labeled! I needed a headset to use Skype on my G4 powerbook and bought this product because it had a mac logo on the box. That would normally mean it is mac compatible. However, this headset is not compatible with macs. I did some brief research and realized this product does not work because my mac only has a "line in" plug (as with most macs). In order to use this product, you must purchase a separate USB converter (not included).
If you are looking for a headset to use with your mac, make sure to buy one with a USB plug. I bought the Plantronics Audio 85 with USB for Apple on Amazon and it works just fine.
Loud, good sound [Posted on 2008-08-27] I love this headset, the sound is really loud which is important for a laptop that doesn't put out much power.
The sound is good, the response is pretty flat. The elements are big giving lots of base (I don't know why one reviewer said the opposite).
It has a mike mute switch, which is good and a volume control that is a knob (which is better than a slider because you don't have to figure out which end is up to use it).
I haven't recorded with it to test but I've been told the mike sounds good.
Note some people are confused, it's a "noise cancelling mike" not "noise canceling headphones". That means that the MIKE is only sensitive to sounds that come from the direction of your mouth. It does not mean that the ear pieces are more quiet.
But it's the sealed ear piece tight on the head kind of headphones, which gives you some isolation and more thump... But some people might not like the pressure on their ears.
