Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Premium Stereo Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone
Customer Review: Not Very Durable
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this headset for use flying online with MS Flight Simulator. It was a good headset to start with and had very good sound, however I noticed a problem with it right away. The earpieces are fairly hard and pretty small making it uncomfortable to wear after about an hour of use. I was constantly having to rub my ears, but that problem didn't bother me all that much.
What bothered me is the extremely short lifespan of the microphone. I purchased this headset in January and the mic died at the end of February. Not a good product by my standards. It seems to be a flaw with the boom joint as it seems to have a loose connection in it. I wiggled it and was able to get the mic back for a few hours, but it once again died on me and I haven't been able to recover it since. I've given up on it. Time to purchase a better one!
Customer Review: Decent headset for Price
Summary: 4 Stars
You get what you pay for, and you're getting what you pay for with this headset, which by the way only has a noise canceling microphone, not the headphones. Anyways, the padding on the phones isn't great, but it is fine for a couple of hours. While I wouldn't buy these exclusively for music listening, they do fine for talking to people or listening to music casually. For all of the people complaining about the microphone sound levels you need to look under your sound properties in the control panel, and under voice and the microphone control there is an 'advanced' tab which has a check box for a +20dB sound boost. I've been talking to my friend over the internet for a several days now without any problems, he can hear me fine.
SO is this the best headset on the market? NO, but its a really great one for $13.
Customer Review: This product doesn't deliver.
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered two sets of these and both have the same issues. I can only assume these aren't manufacturing defects, but are working as designed.
These headphones have very poor audio quality--treble and bass frequencies are muffled. The package advertises that these are suitable for listening to music, but unless they were referring to AM radio, they couldn't be more wrong.
The microphone barely picks up speech, regardless of positioning. You have to manually press the mic to get it near enough to your mouth to get any response, even with the recording volume and microphone boost on the sound card turned all the way up. I think the noise cancellation may be working too well. *note: I do not have this issue with other microphone headsets, so I can only assume that again, this is by design.
Customer Review: Flaky Line Connection
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros:
Long cable so you can move around while wired in.
On-the-wire volume/mic mute controls
Reasonable sound quality and bass response for the price
Cons:
Left speaker goes in and out. You can fiddle with the on-the-wire controls and get it working, but the slightest nudge of the volume and it goes out again.
Loose mute button that can slide on and off against cloths, desk, or anything else controls rub against.
So why 1 star? A headset is two things: a microphone and a pair of headphones. While the microphone has worked, the left headphone going in an out is unacceptable. Also, I've been unmuted while on a conference call over Skype several times because the remove rubs against my clothing... the switch is cheap like everything else about this headset.
Customer Review: Don't buy this.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this about 1 week ago and coulden't wait to rip it out from the box. I wanted to use this headset for games like World Of Warcraft and Skype, and when I plugged it into my Power Mac G4 Running 10.3.9, it appeared on the system preferences and started working very well. The sound quality was amazing, I thought it was very comfortable, and the headphones were awesome. I thought this product was great, so far.
After about 30 minutes of using it, suddenly the mic and the headset stopped working. When I checked my system preferences, It coulden't find the device. I tried it on different USB ports, different computers, tried restarting the computer, and even disabled my sound card. I conclusion, unless you would only wear this headset as a fashion statement, I don't reccomend it.
