Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plantronics DSP-400 Digitally-Enhanced USB Foldable Stereo Headset and Software
Customer Review: Very good headset
Summary: 4 Stars
Mostly I am impressed by Amazon for being so responsive to me in my multiple orderings of this product, both of which had major problems (my fault) which were quickly resolved by the team.
However, I should tell you that the product itself is great. It is a major improvement over the cheap headset I have been using for the past two years (the quality degraded significantly after I started carrying it between work and home). The only bad thing about this product is the cords which are kind of long and which I trip over. I don't think this is necessarily the fault of the product, but rather just an observation that wireless would be an improvement.
Customer Review: WOW - WHAT GREAT SOUND!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this headset because of problems with my soundcard and the other hardware I have in my PC system. I loaded the software first, and then installed the headphone using the ultra-easy USB plug (no way to plug it in wrong and only one plug to deal with). I played an Enya song ("Key of the Twilight") and it sounded good. I launched the included PerSomg software in the middle of listening to Enya and got hit with such a great change in the sound, I could not believe it!. This Headset is the best I have used EVER! I love having a long cord so I can move around and the carrying bag that comes with this product. IT IS THE BEST! [The MIC is good too!]Customer Review: Not for laptops
Summary: 1 Stars
The microphone is incredibly sensitive to electrical noise from laptop power supplies or powered USB hubs, causing a very obtrusive hum when used with applications such as Skype. As a result this Plantronics model can be used on laptops only when running on battery power. Since that's not practical, I am now the proud owner of a stylish $40 paperweight.
It would have been easy for Plantronics to include a low-frequency rolloff around 120 Hz which would filter out the hum, but leave voice signals unchanged. (Unless you're singing a bass part....)
It's a pity, really, because otherwise the sound quality is quite good.
Customer Review: Gets the job done, works very well
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is definitely Effective, but not highly efficient, hence the 4 stars. It's just a little...big. I'm being picky I suppose, but it could be minimized some. It's bulky, but if you're going to keep it at your desk or in a drawer then it's Great for the price. Good sound quality and comfort. Mic comes through very clear and crisp. Perfect for Skype chats. When I'm on the road though, I take my wireless headset, if that tells you anything.
I would buy if you're not on the road a lot, if you are, I would say opt for a bluetooth card and get a wireless earpiece. Much less stressful to pack.

Customer Review: A $4.99 product
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this product hoping it is an easy plug and play one, but wait, it is not. When first plugged in, no sound at all, the worse part is that it muted my laptop speaker after I unplugged it, I have to google around and find out my only option is to uninstall laptop driver and restart computer in order to get back my laptop speaker.
After a few computer restarts, I finally got it working. The voice has a poor quality, feels like somebody is speaking from a distance, and it is not comfortable for wearing over 20 minutes.
If I can decide its price, I would label it as $4.99, it doesn't worth any more.
