Great headphones, Better Headset

"I purchased these headphones for use with my Rosetta Stone language learning application. I'm trying to learn Japanese, so it's really important to me that all my pronunciations are correct, therefore I had to have a headset that was better than the Cyber Accoustics model offered by Rosetta Stone. I scoured the net and did my research on models that Rosetta Stone recommended. At first, I was keen on the Logitech..." Read Full Review »

Very uncomfortable

"Took it out of the package and after 5 minutes of usage I had to rip it off my head. The set is way, way too tight and the pressure on the ears is painful. I put it over a basketball every night and slowly it got a little bit better. The ear buds are covering the ear completely and are pressing against the jaw.

"I use one of these at work for voice conferencing, and it works quite well, so I went ahead and bought two more for home with Ventrilo. I love how I'm able to turn the mic boom up when I'm not using the mic. My only complaint is that the middle button can not be mapped to other functions, and only …"  Read Full Review »

When I went back to BB to purchase another set I did find the price had dropped from $49 to $42, but BB was sold-out so I tried a Logitech model that was …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought 2 of these headsets, one for myself and one for my mother so we could chat while playing WoW. I quickly discovered that it was rather cheaply made. Right out of the box once I plugged it in I could hear crackeling in the headset which instantly told me there was horrible connection issues. …"  Read Full Review »
