Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset (Black)
Customer Review: MAC users - don't buy it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I previously owned (and still own) Logitech Premium Stereo Headset, but when I switched to Mac the analogue headset's mic wouldn't work on it anymore so I could only use the headphones for listening and the internal mic on the Mac for talking. As a result, I decided I'd rather buy a new, this time a USB headset, so that I could as well make use of the mic on it.
So I went on the quest for a headset for my early 2008 MacBook Pro (Leopard 10.5.6) and finally decided I'd give Logitech ClearChat Comfort a try. The price was decent and the review average seemed fine as well. (By the way, I did not purchase it from Amazon, but I thought I'd still share my story here so that someone else might get something out of it. Most of the times when I'm buying electronic products etc. I first check Amazon reviews to get an idea about it.)
However, I wasn't satisfied with it, so I had to return it. The thing is that as soon as I plugged it in, the Input Level bars (in System Preferences - Sound) on my Mac would automatically go up to almost the half of the Input Level indicator!!! During the chat on Skype the person on the other side complained because of the noise my mic had created, and this noise was apparently exactly what the Input Level bars started indicating right after I plugged the headset in. What caused that noise? I have no idea.
Also, the sound over Skype didn't seem as clear as on my older (Logitech Premium Stereo Headset) - the person's voice on the other side seemed a bit unclear and distorted as opposed to clean, crispy sound of my older headset.
Perhaps I should mention that I as well tried yet another headset, this time a USB one, Logitech Premium Stereo USB Headset 250, and it worked like a charm!
It really puzzles me why the latter works perfectly, while ClearChat Comfort one receives some sort of interference and thus produces noise, yet both of them are USB headsets.
Unfortunately, ClearChat Comfort didn't work for me and thus I wouldn't recommend it for Mac users. Just yesterday, though, a new update (10.5.7) came out for Mac OS. Could it possibly have worked well on the updated version? I didn't have a chance to test it, but to be honest - I doubt it.
Let me just add another thing about comfort. Perhaps someone might find it useful: since we own(ed) 3 different Logitech headsets in our household, I can provide a slight assessment of their comfort from 1 to 3, no. 1 being the most comfortable and no. 3 the least comfortable.
