Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cyber AcousticsStereo Headset/Microphone, Ambidextrous design AC-201
Customer Review: Very good for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
This headset was very cheap, but worth it. The mic is very clear and has less background noise than most. The headphones are quite powerful and better quality than my cheap-o speakers.
The only problem that really sets this headset back is the headphone size - they're smaller than my ears, so if you use them for a long period of time your ears will HURT. Luckily, the mic turns about 180 degrees, so I've gotten by by wearing the headphones backwards from time to time. I wouldn't reccommend these if you had sensitive or larger-than-average ears.
Customer Review: For the price, most excellent.
Summary: 5 Stars
This headset provides good sound quality, both the headset and the mic, for a great price. I use them to listen to music as well as talking on Skype, and they work for both just fine. Obviously they're not hi fi or anything but for casual listening no problem.
My only complaint (as others have said) is that they do not fit over the ear, but on the ear, with mediocre padding. Under an hour is fine, but they start to hurt after that.
Overall, though, a great buy! I'm pretty sure you cannot get better value for the money.
Customer Review: Great Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my wife to use with voice recognition software. She has not complaints and its a big improvement from just using the built in speakers and mike. I've used it on skype alot and it works great. I've even used it as just a headphones by plugging it into the headphone jack from my logitech sub-woofer speaker set and the sound it good. Only get it through one side when used like this though, don't know if it has something to do with only only the headphone jack being plugged in. For the price I can't imagine a better product.Customer Review: How long should a cheap headset last?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this headset in August. Didn't use it much until late September. Then we moved overseas and used it quite a lot through the remainder of the year to skype back home. People started complaining after only two months that they couldn't hear or understand us. We had to retire the headset. Plus the boom mic friction bearing gave out and now it swings uselessly around.
Okay, so the thing is inexpensive, and it worked quite well - for a couple months. But wouldn't you expect it to make the half-year mark, at least?
Customer Review: Decent but defective
Summary: 3 Stars
Decent, can't be beat for the price, but my microphone is very weak--the other side often asks me to raise my voice. That did not happen before. Headset however is fine, albeit the padded earphones do not really help as the springiness is set too tight and after a half hour your ears hurt from the pressure.
My opinion: somebody wanted to offload a bunch of defective headsets. Not bad for the price, but not great either. I wish I had spent more money to upgrade but now I'm too lazy to change them.
