I could still hear from the headphones but that's it. I'm disappointed at the fact that it couldn't even last a year.
Sorry Logitech but I know Logitech can do MUCH BETTER Cheaper headsets have the same comfortability as it and that's pretty sad.
It Looks comfortable but its not that comfortable for the price. If this headset was round $20 bucks then I would say get it but for the price I say DON'T GET IT because it's not worth it.
I just got the headset today and it worked for the first 3hrs then the mic part stopped working. I'm a big fan of Logitech and never had a problem out of any of their products til now.
There top part and the hear pieces aren't that comfortable and after bout 30 minutes of use my ears or the top of my head would be sore or ache.
I've used the headset on multiple computers and it's worked well in all cases. We're now recommending to others in our organization. We've all heard, "you get what you pay for." Compared to another product of a similar price, I got more than I paid for. Purchased on the recommendation of another happy user.
Besides the terrible hum (sounded like a floating ground in the old broadcast days) this headset's mic was super sensitive. Had to return. Both issues made this headset unusable for podcasting. This headset produced a loud hum on my audio. Hum persisted if headset was plugged into USB hub or directly into computer. It picked up every tiny background noise.
If they make a new version with the cord/USB set up as I described, then I will buy them again. It is bound to be bumped a little when using with a laptop on your lap, so it was not a good design for my laptop use, and breaks easily with very little pressure. I love my music headphones from them. They do an amazing job filtering out the background noises in your house so that your voice comes through clearly. I think this may be partly because the USB connector stick out of your computer about 2.5 inches and is not flexible, so if you bump it at all it weakens the parts. If I start looking downwards they slip right off my head. Then a couple weeks later the black box/casing around the USB plug, came apart revealing the sound card inside and the usb tip was beginning to bend away from the the sound card it connects too. It is not uncomfortable really, even after wearing for a few hours at a time, though they are not very light weight, but on the smallest size they still like to fall off my head if i don't keep my head at a certain angle.
We'll see. If you will be using this headset on a desktop pc where it will be plugged in and not moved or shifted at all, this may not be an issue for you. Until then I am buying another brand that will hopefully last longer- am going to try Koss. But it is somewhat problematic for laptop and portable uses. they just did not make it durable or strong. My chat partners verify the sound quality of my voice comes through great and they sound good on my end also.
Logitech would do well to redesign this plug-in. Very clear chatting though. They ought to move the sound card further up the wire so that it remains in a more flexible position, so that essentially you have headphones, connected to wire, connected to soundcard box, connected to more wire (making this positionally flexible), then connected to a small USB plug that does not stick out of your pc much. The headset is a little big for smaller/female heads.
I wish Bose would design a set for internet chat. Overall, I recommend these, but not for laptop use, unless you use your laptop like a desktop and never move it. just waiting for them to do something great for this purpose. I did like the sound however, so I bought a second pair thinking maybe I just got the bad apple of the bunch and the black casing on the USB was not heat welded together strong enough. The cord is very long, which I like. I love the features built in though for the mute and volume control, very convenient and easy to use. I got my 2nd pair, same quality for sound, but this pair also broke now after a couple months- The silver USB end completely broke off of the black casing/sound card it's attached to.
Just wish they had lasted. My first pair of them the red mute light indicator that shows on the microphone quit working after about a month. The sound on these headphones is really great for chat and gaming (I haven't tried them for music but suspect they would be fine for basic listening). I gave it 4 stars though because they break easily. sounds great though.
I am purchasing another one for the office and am going to trash the Jabra. I am now using VOIP in both locations. I also bought a Jabra GN2000 for the office. The Logitech has proved to be the best solution with the best sound and reception and volume. I have an approximate 30 million dollar quota per year.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a Voice over IP head set. My plan was to use the Jabra at the office and the Logitech at the house. In the past I used a Lucent phone system for over 9 years and to say I need a quality headset for phone use is an understatement. I work in an inside sales role and am on the phone approximately 4 hours per day. I purchased this item about a month ago now and have been very pleased with it.
I personally like the ergonomics better on the Jabra but the reception of my voice along with outside interference is horrible on it.
