Summary: Not bad as a basic headset
Review: A couple of weeks ago, I bought this headset to replace my old one, which had broken. It's a pretty standard behind-the-head type with a microphone. So far, I like it fairly well for light use such as Internet audio streaming, some music (mostly classical), and gaming. The audio quality is decent, and the ergonomics are OK. Essentially, I have to hook them behind my ears. The strap itself isn't adjustable, and it does indeed have a tendency to drop down. This keeps the earpieces from having good contact on the ears themselves and thus reduces the audio quality. I haven't used the microphone yet, so its performance is unknown to me. If you think of yourself as anything approaching an audiophile, you know that a headset in this range isn't going to do the trick. For the price, though, they are pretty nice and I'd recommend them for basic consumer use.

Summary: Sound good / Design bad
Review: I got this headset for Chrsitmas, and I have not been dissapointed.
I use this headset for gaming, because I play counter-strike. I must say that the behind-the-head design is very comfy, even though
I have a smaller head. I have had this headset for over three months, adn I must say that they are not damaged at all. Just try to avoid crushing the headset! In my experiance, the microphone works very well, and the sound is great. This product is a great bang for your buck!
I give this product 4 stars because of one flaw.. If you bump the mute control where the volume is, it is likely that the volume will change drastically by getting caught on your chair. This has happened many times in my experiance, but overall I highly recommend this headset, and I think that it is well worth the price.

Summary: A good headset for multimedia
Review: I spend several hours a day working on multimedia, listening audio, recording voice, and also chatting. Although this product is cheap, it has resulted very appropriate for my job. The strap is rigid and big, so naturally it slides down behind your neck, but this position resulted very comfortable for me, and I can use it during several hours without any inconvenience. Stereo sound and microphone quality are excelent. Inline controls and clip are very handy. I hate having plastic or metal supports above my head, and this was the solution.

Summary: this should be sold by Toys R Us
Review: Sleek design, nice colors, practical mute button and in-line volume control as well as two jacks. But I plugged this thing into my laptop and even with all volume controls maxed out, I could hear someone humming in the room. Where is all that powerful sound they were braggin' about ? Maybe that's just me. The other flagrant thing is that the rigid behind-the-head thing is way too wide for me eventhough I have a big head. Hence the headset will slide to rest on the back of your neck with the microphone poiting to the ceiling. Gets on my nerves.

Review: This headset has really good sound on the mic and also on the headset. But it's very uncomfortable to use. It's always slipping because the headset is not adjustable. I returned mine for a .90 Plantronics model.

Summary: Good sound, great mic, major design flaws.
Review: This headset is one of the new, cool, behind-your-head variety. I haven't tried any of the others by any other manufacturers, but this design just doesn't work. The speakers sound fine, and the microphone is excellent, but as soon as you put this thing on your head, it feels like it's going to fall off. After a few minutes, it slips down and the hard plastic of the band ends up resting on the top of your ears, which gets VERY uncomfortable VERY quickly. It really makes me wonder if they actually tested this headset at all. I definitely would not buy this headset - buy a conventional over-the-head design instead.
