Just got this headset as a replacement for an older Logitech that went south. I had originally planned on using the mini-jack connection into my MacbookPro for audio out and line in. I'll need time to test it out. Preliminary reaction is that the design (on your head) takes time to get used to, but the sound is pretty good. However (and this is my fault for not knowing) using a mike with the Mac's line in requires a device with its own power. So I'm back to using the USB connection instead, which I hadn't planned on.
I've owned two pairs of these head phones. When they are not in use, they are stored safely on my desk. The second pair, the right earpiece has broken leaving it to flop around at the end of its stick. They also have really good sound quality. I see here on they are selling for $40, wish I would have known. However, both pairs that I've had have broken within 6 months of purchase. For my head size they are very comfortable and fit snugly on my ears, which I love. The first set the plastic sound control on the cord broke exposing the electronics and leaving me unable to adjust the volume.
Unfortunately I'm not one to keep receipts as there is supposedly a 2 years manufacturers warranty, which you will probably need to take advantage of. Now keep in mind, I am not hard of my headsets. I would definitely save your money for a better constructed headset. I paid store price for both pairs and wish I would have spent that $120 plus tax elsewhere.
Though I wish this item was wireless. I was surprised with its comfort and how easy it is to use. I have always been a fan of Logitech products. You can rely on there products.
I needed a headset and microphone for travel out of the country to use for Skype calls. This set has both, which virtually guarantees that they will always work, even if my computer is not working properly. Size and weight were a strong consideration, as was functionality. Having two ways to plug the set in was a strong part of that functionality, since I have had some problems with the basic sound/mic jacks not working and then needing a USB hookup. Anyway, this set meets my needs perfectly and the quality is very good. I won't travel without it.
I've been using this headset for a couple of months. It took me a week to figure out that the strap needed to be horizontal rather than pointing down towards your neck. When I got that figured out, they were much more comfortable, but they are still a bit heavy and hurt over the ears after less than an hour of gaming. Pros: good microphoneCons: a little heavy, a little uncomfortable, speaker quality is nothing to write home aboutI've just purchased a Zalman mic and will use it with my beloved Sennheiser PX100's.
