Customer Review: Decent for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I actually bought this headset for my son to use with our PS2, but found out that the input plug is two 1/8" phono jacks (one for the earphones, one for the microphone), not the USB plug I had thought. So I tried using it on my PC for internet voice chat. I feel like the sound quality is fine for normal voice range, but I would not use it for listening to music. The microphone seems to work well and is easy to position near your mouth.
The main problem I had with this set was the comfort. There is a plastic piece that fits over your ears and around the back of your head. I don't know what the thought is here, but for me this is really uncomfortable. It feels like the plastic part is sliding down constantly. And also there is a rough edge on it that digs into your ears. I could not wear it for more than 10 minutes without having to take it off because of the discomfort.
This headset is cheap, so you get what you pay for. Personally, if I were to buy a new headset for internet or gaming use, I would find something that fits over the top of my head or maybe uses some kind of earbuds, has padding for longer-term comfort, and has a USB plug.
Customer Review: It works.

It works for me when I need a headset.
- Hasn't broken.
- Provides me with the quality I need.
- Can be uncomfortable to wear if you're looking for something to wear for hours at a time.

this is definitely a great headset, i use it for ventrilo and gaming in counter strike all the time .. but then again that's just the problem, i use them enough that the headset becomes very uncomfortable after prolonged use.. also be careful with the wires there seems to be after almost a year to be a break in my line somewhere whch gives horrible feed back and static.. but that might just be from personal useCustomer Review: Moderately Above Average

I would have to say this product is only O.K. My personal experience is that the mic has to be practically in your mouth to be heard. Whereas this might be a personal audio problem, it could also be the hardware. Also, it is better than the larger, bulkier headsets, but it does tend to hurt immensely after extended periods of time.
As far as that, everything works fine, which seems to be a wonder for these things.
Customer Review: Great product

I have used Logitech headsets for several years and I am glad to see that the Logitech Extreme PC Gaming headset has been redesigned with a more sturdy frame and a recessed mute switch. I always keep a spare because i sometime get rough on the headset during extreme gaming. So far this one has stood up to the test.
