Not worth it.
1. Sound quality is meh. Good if you're not watching movies, playing video games, or listening to iTunes. But if you're using headphones with your computer, you're probably doing one of these things. 2. The mic has no off switch. Lots of static feedback heard through the headset. 3. Flimsy. Currently using electrical tape to hold it together until I get my replacement headset. Plan on doing a bit more research this time around. 4. Comfortable for short uses. Worse if you wear glasses (like I do--if you wear them too, you know what I'm talkin' about.) They also fall off easy.

No Thank You
Ok, so I bought this as my second mic. My first broke, so I wanted something cheap...bad idea. A week and a half after purchase, it just stopped working...no reason...just stopped. While it was working, everyone told me the Mic quality was poor (no matter how many times I configured it) and the volume wasn't as loud as I would have liked it to be sometimes. But that's not the end of the story...I gave it a second chance thinking it might have been that mic specifically that had problems. NOPE! Second one I bought had the same issues. I wasted $45 on two broken mics when I could have used that for one good one...very dissapointing.

STOP! Find another one
I wanted a headset to record things on my Mac laptop and didn't want to spend a lot. So I picked this one up, bad idea. I got it home and out of the package and plugged it into the headphone and microphone inputs on my Macbook Pro. THe headphones worked but the sound wasn't great but I could of lived with that if the dam microphone would have worked. I rechecked my system settings but not a peep from the microphone input. I jiggled the microphone plug and it popped, crackled and made a bunch of noise as if it wanted to work but no go. Summed up, the old saying is correct, you get what you pay for. if you are looking for a stereo headset to use with a Mac computer, don't bother with this one.
