People preferred sound of a cheap microphone that came with my web cam to this one.Headphones work OK, though sound isn't great. I got Steel Sound 5H as Christmas gift and three month later I'm ready to throw it away.As previous person reported microphone produced poor sound from the beginning. While retractable microphone is a good idea, it tends to twist away from your mouth making things even worse. Plastic adjustment strap stopped latching in place so they do not keep my adjustments.Overall it's a bad electrical and mechanical design.
I have been through nearly a dozen headsets before I found and fell in love with the Steel H5's. I also listen to a lot of music, and these have a 5 star rating for that as well. Also, the break-away cord has saved my set numerous times. I am a gamer, mostly CS. If you're not gaming, just push it back in the headset. Ever try to walk away from your computer with your headsed on. Not fun if there isn't a saftey measure like that.
Also, I'd like you to know that I have a sound blaster X-fi which helps for music and gaming immensly. I couldn't ask for anything more in a set, but the v2's are even better. But as long as you are listening with a quality sound card or amp, you will not be disappointed.Love the retractable mic. :D
Even my $[.]. Here are the pros and the consPros : Great headset if you get one of the few that aren't defective.Cons : The problems that many have are - -microphone doesn't work properly-when you adjust the microphone volume it makes a LOUD screeching/buzzing noise (very annoying)-if you have a big head like me it will hurt your ears after 10 minutes of use. I bought this headset a couple of weeks ago thinking it was the best gaming headset out there like steel series said. Steel series said it fits 99% of people, I think thats crap.-cheaply madeOverall : If I were you I would buy something else, like a sennheiser or something. plantronics headset is better than this piece of junk.
