First, I want to give Amazon kudos for their customer service. I ordered this headset moments before the cutoff for overnight delivery. I knew I was cutting it close. Unfortunately, the headphones didn't arrive overnight (which was a disappointment), but one quick email later and Amazon reimbursed me the $3.99 shipping fee. No squabbling, no debate. Just a simple, polite, and apologetic response. Good job.
Now, the product review. Overall, I'm very pleased with this headset.
Setup was a snap. Plug them in and they work.
The sound quality is good for a lightweight set. I'm no audiophile, so you may have higher expectations, but they sound good to me. They have strong volume; so much so, that I found myself having to keep them on almost the lowest setting. This was simple with the easy to use adjustments on the earpiece.
They are comfortable to wear. I have worn them for upwards of three hours at a time without any problems. That said, however, they are not as comfortable as some other headsets with more padding.
The range is good. I can wear them all over the house without any lose of signal. The only time I experienced any static was when I was downstairs (my computer is upstairs) and I bounced around with them on (I was picking up the cotton pieces my dog shredded and scattered all over the floor. Argh!).
The mic picked up my voice perfectly. VOIP callers said I sounded wonderful. The only complaint I have probably has more to do with VOIP than with the headset. There were noticeable latency issues the day I was trying the headset. This was probably due to internet congestion and connection speed issues. I'll experiment further and update this review when I have more information.
I used this headset with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 and was amazed at the near perfect error rate. I saw no degradation in quality from my usual wireless mic; which costs almost three times as much and doesn't have earphones. If you do lots of voice recognition work, you'll love this headset. Don't waste your money on more expensive mics.
Again, I am very pleased with this headset and would highly recommend it.
