Customer Review: Quite possibly the best out there
Summary: 5 Stars
After using this headset for coming up on 4 years now, I have to acknowledge that this is quite possibly the best mic/headset setup out there. Audio quality is extraordinary (music and voice), and the microphone quality is without compare. Skype is clear as a land-line, and better than any cellphone. I've listened to recorded calls where I've called in using my DSP-400 via Skype, and my voice sounds as clear and loud as those on the phone in the office. And these aren't cheap office phones; they're roughly $400 units each. And my solution easily compares.
I play online games daily, and often get feedback on my voice quality, even when using high compression codecs. Even nearly 4 years later, it's amazing how well this unit performs.
I move it around between Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 without issue. It is quickly detected by Windows, and whatever app/game/media player I'm using at the time. And no, it doesn't require a reboot in XP to recognize. It's USB...
Now, I wouldn't use it for Voice Over recording. For that I pull out the pro gear I keep tucked away for just that purpose. that's not what this is for. But if you want a cost-effective USB solution that will simply outperform anything else out there, buy this. I also do not use any voice recognition software, so I can't provide any insight on that. However there is abundant feedback in other reviews.
Only problem I'm having now is that after all this time, the foam covering on the earphones is starting to come up, which is putting hard plastic right on my ears. Gets a bit uncomfortable after a while. Anyone got a thought about that? If I can't find a solution, I'm just going to buy another pair. I'd rather spend the money for a new unit than use anything else.
