I got this headset from my company. They were pushing it out as a communication device for the soft phone on our computers.It works decently as headphones. But, when it come sto talking the microphone is horrible.The mic does not pickup your voice.to the other person it sounds as if you're talking to them from 60 feet away.To add to this the boom of the microphone is too short.Now if you speak directly to the mic you hear a lot of disturbance because of the air from your mouth.Bottom line.if you need headphones, buy something like Philips or Sony, if you need a headset don't buy this one.buy something else.
These should cost maybe $40. PLUS $20 shipping. If this is what it looks like -- the simple, silver plastic usb logitech headset that has no volume device on the cord -- then it is the best headset that I have ever used, and it is more comfortable and better than the "premium" ones that they released that have the large annoying dangling volume control.BUT, now it looks like nobody carries them anymore so there is one Amazon partner that has them listed at $90 each. that is way more than the original fee and they are not THAT good that they should be marked up so incredibly high.Looks like someone has a strategy to squeeze money out of a few un-informed shoppers. or less.
It worked well while it lasted, although the sound quality was a step down from my previous 3.5mm headphones. But at about 8 months from purchase, it died.
I really enjoy these headphones - for the price you really can't go wrong.I'm a bigger fella and I can wear these for a while without my ears going numb on me.I also have a bad habit of tearing up headphones - these have outlived all of my others (maybe even combined. heh)
After less than four months of occasional use at my desk, no particularly wear or tear, the headset has a faulty contact and the microphone is dead. While it's under warranty, shipping it to Logitech is almost as much as a new headset.
