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

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent entry level headset, 30 Jan 2007
By M. Slightam - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After looking at al the options and being pretty confused, especially as to what extra you were getting for your money with the more expensive options I went for the cheaper option. I have to say I'm glad I did, they work perfectly out of the box, are comfortable and have all the adjustments needed. I'm not sure what more you would want from them and certainly don't think you could get better for the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Price!
This Labtec headset is good for the price, not exceptional but you can't expect that. They are competent for what I need them for, good sound quality and fair microphone. Read more

I found the head set worked well. The only confusion was the plug colours did not match my PC but once that was sorted all was OK

3.0 out of 5 stars Headset
It is fine for the price, the only gripe I have is that the band around the head could do with being a little bit longer, or maybe I have a big head?! Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good budget option for occassional use
Good quality sound for the price, but these headphones can become uncomfortable after wearing for long periods so not recommended for extended use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great
The headset didn't seem to work but that might be to do with the set up on my PC. I can communicate with the PC's built in microphone and speakers but not with the headset.
