I appreciate the fact I can push the mic away from the mouth so that my breathing is not picked up on webinars and conference calls. However, it's not the most comfortable on the ears. Been using this for a year for skype calls, webinars, and listening to music. Kids use it for gaming on the computer when we are sharing the office.The Sound is clear, the mic is effective. The foamy earpads/earmuffs dissolved and ripped, and now it's even more uncomfortable on the ears.
Mic quality is pretty good and sound quality above average.It lost 1 star to each ear's comfort.It is really uncomfortable if you plan to use it long hours.If not, its pretty good for 1/2h of use.
I have gotten compliments from other Nortel VOIP users that the microphone sound quality is excellent - better than the Nortel headsets.I've only had a minor problem with a pin at a joint in the headband working itself out a little. I also like the flexibility of using the standard jack connections or the USB sound adapter. Perhaps, a denser foam may help. I am a home-based teleworker and have been using one of these headsets everyday for almost 3 years. So is my wife. I've used it with Nortel VOIP clients, Skype and for gaming.
Other than that, I am very happy with the quality, operation and portability of this headset. I bought this headset for my wife who has had problems finding a comfortable headset. I use it at home with my desktop mostly and like that it folds up into a case for traveling. One improvement I would like to see are more sound isolating ear foam pieces.
My only problem with it is that I tend to talk laying down and the headphones aren't comfortable to lay on (which is fine because it's not what it's used for). Other than that, it's worth the price. You can adjust the earpieces for a nice comfortable but snug fit, the mic is clear, and the audio is great. It's very flexible for each individual. I use it mainly for Skype and i've never had a problem with it yet. The headset works really well. It comes with a travel box and a USB adapter that you can plug your mic and headphone inputs into. You can control the volume and mute the mic if need be.
When my cell phone did not work overseas, I use this with gizmo5 software to call people around world from a netbook.People on the other side all told me the sound was very clear, just like I was calling from the same town.The headset comes with a plastic box. It comes with a USB sound adapter, but can directly plug into headphone and microphone sockets on the netbook (or any computer).Highly recommended. In a recent overseas trip, I have ths headset with me. The noise cancellation microphone can be folded.
