5.0 out of 5 stars Labtec 242 headset review, 30 July 2005

By

Mahadon Rajah "jerrypersaud" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Labtec headset 242 (Accessory)

Excellent product for the price ! Well done labtec. Ok it's not swappable for either ear use as some models are but it does the business very well. Bought this for chatting via MSN Messenger and to date have no complaints. Sound is good and is pretty comfortable to wear. Took my brother-in-laws advice that some of the cheaper headset products work just as well as more recognised brands. Glad I listened to him. No regrets. Recommend purchase if your budget is an issue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but slightly uncomfortable, 29 Jun 2007

This review is from: Labtec headset 242 (Accessory)

The microphone quality for this is very good. But when wearing for long periods of time, it got slightly uncomfortable. Its a great mic/headset for such a cheap price, but if you want a more comfortable, long-term solution, I reccommend buying a slightly better one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what it says on the packet, 22 Dec 2007

By

Newt Scamander (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Labtec headset 242 (Accessory)

I've had this headset for about a month now and it hasn't let me down once. Not only do I use it for skype* and msn, but also to run a podcast. The sound quality is fine for speaking, but I haven't tested it for music recording. If all you want is voice chat then THIS is the one to get...great value as well.

Also, I finished using it the other day and unplugged it....but it STILL RECORDED which was really freaky...there must be an explanation but if you
buy this try it out!

* On the box there is a 'skype certified' sticker

The headset is exactly what it says on the tin. An excellent product for voice over internet calls. The sound quality is surprisingly good. It works straight out of the box. Read more
