Customer feedback:

1. The headset itself is pretty light and sits on my ear well. The back of my ear did get a little sore after an hour the first time using it but I adjusted the position and the soreness went away. Even though the piece hangs off the ear I don’t feel any real weight and it’s incredibly comfortable to the point where I forget I’m wearing it. It also fits very snugly against my ear and there’s no wobbling of any kind when I move my head. I actually leave in on when I’m working and not making calls because it’s more bothersome to take it on and off then leave it in.

2. The swing arm on the mike provides excellent audio quality. The swing feature is really useful in adjusting the mike closer or away from your mouth. I have used it in my car on my cell phone, on my desk with my landline and with Skype (the USB adapter is real handy). Great results everywhere. No one says it sounds like I am using a headset, I am cutting out etc. The incoming sound quality has also been fantastic. Really beats the quality on my expensive blue tooth headset.

1. The cord from the headset has a control box to allow for volume control and muting. On the control box is a belt-clip for attaching to clothing. It’s light enough that if it’s dangling, you probably won’t notice it. Down from there on the cord, you’ll find a velcro strap for neatly storing the wires — a nice touch. And finally, the output plugs. These are 2 stereo jacks with embedded, color-coated labels for each to let you know that one is for the headphones and one is for the microphone. With these jacks, you can plug them into your sound card. But, like me, you’ll probably want to use the provided USB adapter. The jacks plug into the adapter and then you plug that into a USB port. Windows (I’m using Windows 7 RTM) will immediately recognize this as a sound device, so there must be some kind of sound card type logic within the USB adapter (which is why I suspect the price is so high by the way). By default Windows will make this your default sound device so you will hear all your game audio through the headphones and all the voices through your PC speakers, which is the exact opposite of what I wanted. But with some simple changes to the sound devices in windows, you can swap that around so the game audio goes through your speakers and the voices go through your headset.

2. I’m a big gamer, and enjoy voice chatting while playing my games, and sadly, up until this point I’ve just been using an Xbox 360 headset for everything. Other headsets were either too expensive for what they offered, or were cheap and of terrible quality. This logitech headset is priced reasonably (only ten dollars more than the Xbox 360 headset, by comparison), but offers the a level of quality that I’ve only seen in headsets offered at triple the price. The microphone quality is amazing (people have actually commented that they can hear me more clearly now), the sound quality is amazing, and the level of comfort is amazing. Sure, it’s not the best looking headset ever, but as a gamer it exceeds my expectations in every other category (which are the ones that count).
