Before I bought this headset, I researched a whole bunch of others first, and upon seeing some very mixed reviews on the various headsets I found, this seemed to do exactly what I wanted. But since actually buying this one, and having used it for some time now, I can actually confirm that this one is FANTASTIC!! It plugs in with USB, and I never have any probems with it! It's really comfortable, plus the sound quality is superb. It can be used in cnjunction with either skype, msn, yahoo, or anything that requires either speakers, headphones, or microphones. I play my music from the pc, and use these as my headphones all the time! But initially I bought this so that I can go on msn and speak to people whilst having my hands free to type. This was also perfect, because it even has a button to automatically call people on your msn contact list! Also, next to that button, it even has buttons for the volume, and also to chose whether to use the microphone or not. It has been absolutely brilliant! Just thought I wwould share that with you all, in case you were looking for a good one too! Money definately well spent! Full Marks!!

This is a really great headset, with a nice long cable, which has a remote halfway down with volume, mute and webchat buttons.
Installation was non-existent on both Windows and Mac OSX, both of which allow you to select your input/output methods without unplugging the headset, making for an easy life.
The most impressive thing about this product is the quality of sound. The headphones quality is amazing, with great clarity and booming bass, which I particularly benefit from while listening to music and playing games. The headphones themselves have great noise-cancelling qualities, meaning that you will hear nothing from the outside world when using them.
Over the years, I have never been disapponted with a piece of Microsoft hardware, but this headset has genuinely surpassed my expectations. Great value for money, highly reccommended

I'd been hunting around for a headset in order to maximise The Rosetta Stone language software. For me the choice was better for USB as the microphone socket for the PC is at the back of the unit and obscured by the morass of cables. This set was well priced and the USB connectivity meant it would plug into one of the sockets on the front of the PC, meaning no disruption. being an XP luddite I was worried if it would be auto-detected but I needn't have worried as the system picked the headset up perfectly. The headset is very comfortable, with a decent length lead and sturdy build. You could easily wear the thing for hours with no discomfort. Sound quality for speech is more than adequate and the microphone seems to pick my voice up for the software with no issues, however for music it was less suitable, especially if you like it a little louder as distortion does set in quite quickly. Overall though a very decent set of phones for a very good price.

Great quality
The sound and microphone works fantastically, great for Elluminate. Hopefully it lasts its warranty though. I'll report back on that front.

Purchased for my son, he enjoys using them, sensible price.
Would recommend to others. My son enjoys using them and finds talking to his friends on line is more private/procise.
