Customer Review: Simply...okay.
Summary: 3 Stars
I was hoping for more when I read some of the reviews of this headset. I'll give my pros and cons:
Pros:
- Decent sound
- Easy setup, just plug in and go
- Easy to adjust volume controller
Cons:
- Hurts your ears after an hour or so because the hard, molded plastic band has to use pressure to hold in place on your head (because it sits behind, not on top). I sometimes leave it stretched around a DVD case at night so it doesn't squeeze so tightly when I put it on.
- Volume controller on my cable is bad. One earphone goes out with just a movement of the volume controll. I have to squeeze the dial to get the right ear working again. It was that way right out of the box. It's annoying but not worth sending back over the cost.
Overall, it's not a bad headset. I just expected a little more because of the claims in the ads. They aren't too costly, so it still have some value.
Customer Review: OK for the discounted price
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this headset at a heavily discounted price about an year ago and one side of the earphone stopped to work recently. Considering the fact that it only costed me about $1 per month, I can't really complain.
The sound quality of the earphone is mediocre. It makes OK sound if you are not too picky, that is all. The microphone is just barely usable. You will have to speak loudly to make the other side of the line hear you.
It is actually not so uncomfortable if you wear it right. It can sit on your head tightly without make your ear hurt, at least not too much. The only thing not so good about this design is that you can't lay down on your bed or rest your head on the headrest of your chair while wearing this headset.
Overall, if you just want a cheap, usable headset and don't expect it to last for years, this product can be a good choice when you see some aggressive discount.
Customer Review: Decent, but not the last pair you'll buy
Summary: 3 Stars
I owned maybe two or three of this item before I finally realized that I was just throwing my money away for the most part. The sound quality was actually very good, but the headset itself was terribly uncomfortable. No matter how much I wore them, they would always hurt my ears after a few hours. The behind the head style of these headphones is not as effective as it is with smaller headphones because of the sheer weight.
Every set that I owned failed in the cord usually after 4-6 months. Most often the mic would die, which was the part that I needed most. Of every set of headphones that I've owned (and I've owned a lot) this is probably the worst.
I gave this item a 3 star rating because it is honestly not a bad place to start if you're just getting started with serious gaming. I played plenty of competitive league matches with this headset before I moved on.
Customer Review: *** Try it on before you buy ***
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this Logitech headset for the purpose of creating corporate training videos, so the audio recording functionality needed to be clear and crisp. The positive is that the audio functionality works pretty well--audio plays back at a level of quality that is definitely use-able.
The problem is that I'm not able to wear the headset for more than an hour at a time. No one has ever told me that I have a super fat head, so I can only conclude that I don't. This headphone feels like it's spread to its max which makes my head feel like it's in a vice. This tension also causes the earpiece foam to press too closely against my ears, which makes me sweat. Definitely not cool! I'm not sure who was responsible for design of this product, but the prototype must have been tested on people with extremely narrow heads.
Customer Review: They do the job
Summary: 3 Stars
These are OK. Not the best build quality or sound quality (for speakers and mic) but they work.
I find them quite comfortable because of the open design and the around-the-ear pads. They are also very light, which makes them a good choice for just throwing in a bag for LAN parties or just going to a bookstore or whatever to chat online.
If you are looking for a good quality gaming headset though, this is not it.
Not too bad for the price, I'm not really unhappy with the purchase (I just got them to have a cheap pair that I won't cry over when it breaks at a LAN party or gets stolen), but I would just spend a little more and get something a bit better.
