Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plantronics GAMECOM 1 PC HEADSET ( 67003-01 )
Customer Review: good for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
this is a good headset for the price, however it has a few negatives.
the overall weight of the headset is a little much ... if i were to tilt my head forward or backward it could easily begin to slide off.
the microphone quality is only as good as those other cheap computer mics you can get at wal-mart ... but what do you expect?
the sound quality is middling - not very bassy, but it could have something to do with the thick earpads which put lots of space between your ear and the speaker.
the headset is very comfortable though. the lower top bar going over the head is made of rubber (more comfortable than plastic) and not permanently attached to the sides, so it can come off, which is annoying. i haven't figured out why someone would want to take it off.
The mic boom is extendable and bendable, which is nice. It can also rotate upward while not in use.
Customer Review: didn't last
Summary: 3 Stars
I've owned this headset for about 4 months. The setup is a little peculiuar, but I loved it right away. The pads over the ears are very soft and apply just the right pressure. I was able to wear these for quite a while.
The microphones go out on headsets; that is just a fact of life. This mic goes out a little more often and quickly than many others. Mine died in about 2 months. The headphones are so good, I just move the mic boom out of the way and listen with them still. The microphone is adjustable and while it worked others told me my voice sounded very clear.
Customer Review: Decent for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
There is nothing outstanding about the headset. There is nothing substandard about them either. For the price, I paid 19.99. I'd say it is a good value.
It is perfect for voice over I.P. I Skype. I also audio/video blog. The mic is adequate. It sounds a little tiny but I does the job. The headphones, again, are adequate. It is what I expect for the price.
If you are a casual user, they are a good deal.
Customer Review: Save yourself and pass on this model.

The cheap price is the get what you pay for deal. I had a pair of these when they originally came out, and they lasted awhile but the cords have very thin insulation and that tore and broke the wire rendering them useless. A year later I bought another pair from amazon and the audio quality was terrible, not sure if they sounded like that the first time around. I had them a month and the cord got a cut in it again so in the trash they went. I tried to repair them the first time it happened but had no luck. This is also my 4th plantronics headset. The other two laster longer but the same thing happened to the cord. The first set was $110 and the the clip for the volume and mic controls actually broke the wires. So now i tend to stay away from plantronics. YMMVCustomer Review: Works great...for a year

Well, it was a great buy for the first year. After that it started loosing sound in the right ear. I figured I could live with that. Now it looses sound in both ears on and off. I go from sound to nothing to one ear all the time. It is the most annoying thing I have ever experienced. Buy a better headset and don't spend the money twice.
