Rating: Summary: Good Sounding Headphones Review: I've been using the Audio 90s for a good period of time now. Through that time I've played many games, listened to basically all genres of music, and have used them for everyday computing. The sound quality was definitely above what I expected from a 30 dollar pair of headphones. The bass response is suprisingly good while listening to music and playing games like counter-strike I have no problems pinpointing exactly where people are. My only complaint about these headphones is the comfort level. I don't know if it's just me but everytime I wear these it feels like they're squeezing my head and after a long period of use my ears actually hurt. Other than that these are probably the best pair of lower end headphones you can buy.
Rating: Summary: Does what it's supposed to Review: I've had one of these for about 8 months now, and have used it quite a bit. No problems at all. Sound is decent, but not amazing (come on, look at the price. If you want amazing sound, it costs money) I do 100% of my gaming with these headphones and have no problems. Everybody can hear me just fine on the microphone (ventrilo team chat) The little mute button is a little too easy to turn on, but that's about the only flaw I can find in mine. The others who have had problems should have just returned them for a new pair. They work just fine.
Rating: Summary: Great Headset Review: I've had the A90's for well over a year now, and have no complaints. They are sturdy, comfortable, sound great, and have a great microphone.
I was using an old desk mic before I got these, and the sound quality is easily 5 times better. The quality of the headphones is also excellent. The speakers produce the best bass I've heard on any headphones for less than $70 and the treble is quite good too. I was initially worried about these because I've heard of them breaking after a few months, but mine are holding up great. The mic hinge is sturdy, the cables are fine etc--and I've thrown these puppies around, stepped on them, and even got them a little wet.
If you're looking for quality gaming headphones at a good price, look no further.
Rating: Summary: Great headset.. until it breaks Review: I've owned this headset for almost a year now, and have loved every second of it, until just recently. I had heard about how all of my friends had bought one, and then slowly over time heard about how their mics had broken or their sound went, but I had always thought it was because of the way they treated it. But now, I too am having problems with it. It turns out that when I try to use my headset, the sound is very quiet and raspy, like I have a loose connection. I used to be able to just move the wire around and it would work fine again, but now that doesnt work. I bought this headset thinking it would last, and although some of you out there may think a year is a long time, its not long enough. I do not reccommend this headset unless you feel like buying a new one every 9 months.
Rating: Summary: I'm in the 4th one... Review: it's great until it breaks... i bought it at a local store and return it twice and send to the manufacture twice.
Rating: Summary: A Great PC Headset Review: Just as a first hand note, my rating is based on the price range for this item. This has good audio quality, both out through the headphones and in through the microphone. This obviously isn't a high-quality audiophile-wooing headset, but I'd say it has sound plenty good for anything you may want to use it for on a day to day basis (that includes music). The headset is very comfortable, and is easily adjustable to fit even up to the largest heads. The microphone is nicely placed, and is adjustable as well, though somewhat awkwardly compared to the headset itself. The microphone can also fold up when not in use. There is a control on the cord that can mute the microphone as well as adjust the headphone volume. The cord is also very long, but includes a clip for attaching to clothing or where ever else a clip may serve handy. This has been purchased not only by myself, but two of my best friends, and even by the local LAN gaming arcade for every PC there, and all have given it praise. For this value, you can't go wrong with the Plantronics headset, and I would recommend it to anybody. ADDENDUM: I've noticed a few people speak about the cord breaking away from the headset. This did actually happen to my own pair, but not by my own use. My brother was using them and dropped them on the ground to get up and run over to somewhere, and while running he caught the headphones on his foot and yanked on the cord, thus breaking them. However, this was after having them for already half a year and putting them through much use. If you are delicate with your headphones like I am, this is still a wise choice.
Rating: Summary: The Perfect Headset Review: Just ordered this headset, and i am very satisfied with it.Indeed i got my money worth.It sounds very clear and the base is awesome!!!!, and the mic, is clean!!!!
Rating: Summary: These are great! BUT! They are dead now! Review: Mine just went out I've had mine for about 8 months and all the sudden I put them on and I cant hear nothing sounds like an echo! I can hear music but no voice its weird! I think they have a short in them or something cause when I move the cord around I can munipulate it to get it to working. I love the sound I was getting through the4se I was hearing things in music that I had beeen missing with the really cheap headphones. So now I shopping for another pair of headphones. I will not get this brand again because I saw another review where somebody said theirs shorted out too.
Rating: Summary: HAPPY SO FAR Review: MY G/F SEEMS TO BE VERY SATISFIED WITH THEM.I GUESS.NO COMPLAINTS ANYWAY.
Rating: Summary: DEFECTIVE CRAP! - BE CAREFUL! Review: Needed this for voice chat and was very happy when I bought it. It fits very comfortable and sounded great. Then...just about 3 months later I noticed that the sound started fading out of the right side. I moved the cord around and managed to get the sound to come back but had to be extremely still. The next day it was dead. There was no sound whatsoever, altough the mic worked. So under warranty I requested a new one. Basically from here on out the SAME FRICKIN THING HAPPENED for a total of 6 times! I finally decided to just forget about replacing it since shipping it back to Plantronics cost me little over $5 each time. So after paying for it twice,(actual and through shipping charges) and going through some very frustrating times; I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE! Unless you only plan on using it for about 2-3 months (in 1 case less than a month!) No abnormal abuse or usage caused these problems. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
