Logitech ClearChat Style Headset

I had an old USB headset that was much more expensive. I didn’t want to use yet another USB port or get yet another USB hub so I found this headset and based on the reviews bought it to talk via Skype, ICQ, MSN, etc. primarily with people in Russia and Estonia. It attaches to the sound card on your PC.(I did have to disconnect the speakers to attach it so it’s one or the other) The first time I used it, I was surprised to find that the sound quality was as good as my internet phone which is as good as, if not better, than a land line. Subsequent conversations were less successful which may have been more a function of bandwidth and packet delivery than the Headset. It is relatively comfortable and easy to use and when I recorded a conversation on Skype, I listened to my own voice and found the quality very good insofar as I can tell how I sound.
The price is right and with Amazon’s great free shipping, I bought it from Amazon where because of the free two day shipping plan I have, I buy as much as possible(no. I am not affiliated with Amazon).

Clarity of conversation is excellent. Headphones are comfortable yet provide somewhat of a challenge for those of us with smaller heads. However, if you stay positioned and do not make many moves this is not a problem. I would like to see some type of headset adjustment in future models.

This headset is very light and comfortable, provides great sound quality, and is relatively cheap. Great for long hours of gaming, voice chatting, or just listening to music. Comes with come cool color plates that you can interchange to your likes. One of the best features is that it has a built in mic on/off switch along with a volume control right on the cable for easy access. I would highly recommend this headset to anybody!

Although it says that headset works with Mac, it does not work at all. Yes you can hear in headset, but the microphone is completely incompatible with the Mac OS and not recognized as external mic.

It is a headset, so first and foremost, it must be worn on your head and this is where this headset fails. It is sized for a child, perhaps, but no normal adult will find it comfortable to wear for any period of time. The size is just too small and so it is too tight. I stretched mine out a bit, but by the end of the day, it is pinching again. Also, the gap for the top of your ear is very small and it starts to pinch there too, that is, if you can wear it long enough for it to start hurting your ears. I had a product very similar to this one (Logitech 981-000074 880 PC Headset) and it was much more comfortable. The mic broke and so I figured I’d get another model. This one looks like the next logical step. It is a step, a step backwards. The sound quality is good, but that all seems secondary to the fact that it is too uncomfortable to wear for any period of time. I would not recommend this product.
