Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works well for my pc and my xbox 1 I can talk to other gamers

For the price, it's decently well designed and constructed. I can't honestly fault it for becoming uncomfortable when worn for hours at a time: it's cheap. But I can fault the volume control on the cord because I very often lose a channel while dialing the volume up and down. Sometimes it comes back if I squeeze the box, sometimes I have to leave it too loud or quiet just to have both channels.

Good sound quality for basic use (music, chats). Not the best for gaming.

Perfect in every way! I was listening to music with them and they were great! The bass was great! The sound was so good, as I was listening to music, I thought I heard someone sing and it turns out it was the sound quality! It was great!

I am happy with the product. It works well with my Dragon software

Purchased at november 2010 and broke today. After checking reviews today, found out it have durability issue. Lesson learned, should have check review before go and purchase it. Might wanna stay away if you plan to use this more than 4 months or if you lucky, you can get a full year!! Use this to game such as L4D and use it with skype. Mic quality good at first but somehow it went down drastically. At first, people can hear you clearly and now i have to scream/raise my voice up to allow them to hear what i said. Overall, great to use as headphone when it work but expected to break in a few months or so.

I've only owned this headset for a few months now and the right channel is already cutting out on me. I'd look into getting them replaced but the maximum audio level for these was pretty subpar to begin with. I figured they weren't too bad for the ($33) I paid for them, but not worth the hassle to replace them and have them fail again.

These headphones were exactly what I was looking for at the time. The only thing is that they were kinda obtrusive when you are trying to video chat.

Typically I would give Plaintronics a good rating. However, this model has replaced the USB version that used to be carried int he store, for about the same price. They are at best, average. The USB ones were better all around and had less issues than the analog ones. It also does not come with a USB converter which would have given it a much higher rating. I ended up giving this set to my kids who complain about its quality for their gaming.

Microphone SUCKS! Line input all the way up in the PC and on the line - Mic right in front of my mouth - and others say my voice is so faint that cannot hear me for all practical purpose. Descriptions are: like you are in a room with the door closed; far away sounding; I see you talking but I can't hear you. Worst 20 dollars ever spent - go with Logitec - they always work...

So after reading several reviews, I decided to buy this headset because it had overall good reviews and the price wouldn't break the bank. When I got home, I plugged them in and tested it out on Vent. At first, all people heard was static and I tried testing the mic on Sound Recorder and it didn't pick up anything at all. Once I fiddled around with the properties, people were finally able to hear me on Vent but they said I sounded very muffled and there was static in the back. Not only is the mic quality poor, the sound quality is just as bad. If I'm not listening to anything (like while surfing the web) there is a low static sound. It was getting so annoying that I actually had to remove the headset until I found some music or video to play just to cancel out the noise. I use integrated sound, so I guess the reason for all my problems is just that. I'm returning this thing today and getting a USB headset, hopefully that will solve everything. Do not buy if you do not have a good sound card!

I got this for my Son to use with his laptop. Microphone stopped working only after a month of use. Trying to find the receipt and to get warranty replacement.Disappointed with this quality issue As I have no issues with other Plantronics products I bought.

This product looks fairly decent on the first look. Though after owning the headset for 2 weeks I can say they are not worth the buy. After about 20-30 mins of using them my ears would already start to hurt. They put a ton of pressure on your full ear. The pads are fairly hard (have no comfort to them). Nothing was wrong with the mic sound quality. The speaker sound quality was poor. They had no real power to them, only sounding quiet at the best of times. The built in wire volume control was absolutely horrible. One would expect turning the wheel all the way down would turn off the sound. (or) At least make any sound they produce barely audible, nope. The full range of sound level was from slightly quiet to about "normal" at max volume.

I use this primarily for making cell phone calls. I just wanted something inexpensive. The sound quality was fair at best. The wire where it enters the headset broke after 5 months leaving me with sound in one ear.

Good headphone, not bad for the price... the sound it's okay.. I just gave two star because the bass & treble so poor. but it is a good price for me.

As the title states, if you need a mic and are using it for Ventrilo, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! people cannot hear me at all despite me turning my outbound up as well as other turning me up. There is some type of fan noise that is ALWAYS louder than my speaking even if I scream into it. The sound quality is poor and is poor at picking up my own voice. I opened 2 ventrilo's to test it out and this mic is absolutely awful. Good for headphones though but definitely not for 30 dollars.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON! EXCESS PLASTIC PACKAGING IS A DANGER TO ENVIRONMENT, AND TO WHOEVER TRIES TO OPEN IT. Can’t even get it out of the container without harming self or headset...Needs specialized implements of destruction to get this multi-layered plastic bomb-shelter open! Then I started reading the reviews.... Back to the store it goes!

Not only is the mic quality poor, the sound quality is just as bad. Much lower sound quality comparing to Logitech. I had to return the item.

Had mine for 3 months and now the sound on one ear cuts out. It's sad how you can't buy dependable technology for less than $80 these days.
