Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headset
Customer Review: Acceptable for My Purposes
Summary: 4 Stars
If you understand from the start that you'll not get Bose quality sound or performance from this little product, that it is designed to accommodate Windows as well as Apple operating systems--which is no easy feat, and that it primarily designed for "... audio for Internet communications, music, or PC gaming..." then you can appreciate the Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headset as an affordable, workable solution between cheap, frustrating options and the ultra-superior professional level products. It isn't perfect. It has some odd characteristics for certain machines. It may not be for everyone. (Read all info before you choose the product!) For my low end, rather casual needs, it has proven to be acceptable, and it is much better than an ancient headset / mic combination that I had. I like this product! :)
I have used the Logitech ClearChat Pro on a Macbook (Apple laptop) with Skype, and I had a most satisfying experience. The conversation lasted for nearly one hour and fifteen minutes. I made only one adjustment to the device during the call, which was to enlarge the headset to better reach my ears because I had initially placed it on a bit smaller / tighter than needed. I had no trouble hearing my companion, and she had no trouble hearing me even with a bit of music playing. The sound was strong and consistent with no warbles, drops, or dips at all. Neither one of us had to repeat anything during our talk; in fact, the experience was better than calls I've made with my mobile phone. What I liked about the product during my long call was the length of the cord which gave me the ability to move around a bit without worry about unseating or unplugging the headset during the call. I was quite comfortable to move around in my chair and even stand if need be.
I have used the device on an older eMac with no worries listening to some songs I have on iTunes. Again, not Bose quality, however, the sound was decent enough to use while I was working on the old computer quietly as not to disturb others. I like them better than iPod ear buds or those in-ear things I can tell you! LOL Your ears can get a bit warm though if you camp out too long in front of the computer!
Other reviewers are correct when they say that the product has a large USB plug. It is quite long when compared to other USB devices, so for some people and some laptops, this could present special challenges or usage problems. I did not experience any difficulty; however, I do not have very many other plugin devices. So, there's no competition for my existing ports.
The product works well on my MacBook laptop with expected results. Older Mac Users Note: You might find that you must adjust / control your volume and sound through the Sound control panel in System Preferences rather than from the Logitech device itself. Some design weirdness either through hardware or software issue could affect your ability to use the volume controls on the actual headset (older eMac computer / maybe other old one's too).. Or maybe it's just me / my machine? :) I thought I'd mention that though just so people who have a head up about that possible situation! (This is why I gave the product four stars.) In my experience, I need to let the older Mac know that I've plugged in the headset as it doesn't appear to automatically switch over sound control to it. It isn't hard. The sound panel in System Preferences allows you to achieve what you need. Once you've communicated your wishes the the sound control panel, you can use the Logitech ClearChat for Skype and even to listen to your songs in iTunes. I'm not much of a gammer, but I assume that if you've communicated with the sound panel, the Logitech will handle game music, vox, etc. Others who know about gaming can speak more efficiently on that.
For me, this is a useful product, and I use it primarily with my Macbook. It's all I need for my casual uses. People who use high-end type Skype activities, high-performance gaming, and professional quality music frequently and who expect high quality sound outputs for these endeavors may prefer other devices. However, higher quality equates to higher price. Each person must decide what best serves personal needs. For me, not being a high-end user and not into professional sound activities, I'd rather pay $38 dollars than $200 dollars. :)
