Customer Reviews

Rating: - Not worth the money
Despite the reasonable price for these, the old saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies. I bought two of these for my girlfriend and myself to use for our online gaming (Ventrilo and Teamspeak). The inbound sound is ok, but I have had nothing but bad feedback from the people on the other end, saying they either can't hear us or that there is a buzz. I've already replaced one set and am going to replace the other very soon. Then these will be going in the garbage.
Rating: - Works ok and for OS X users
Pros: Cheap, solid construct

Cons: hurts ears after prolonged use like 3 hours +
Needs a driver anything above Mac OS 10.1

This is a perfect product for your PC gamer and anyone in general who does a lot of online conversing. Not suitable for people with larger heads or ears.

For Macintosh/OS X users!!
Here is a driver that will work for this headset.

The head phones are padded making them comfortable to wear for prolonged sessions and the microphone is the boom-type attachment so it can be swung up or down to give the best results for audio input.

Rating: - Decent Product For a Specific purpose
First, let me clarify something: These are NOT "music" headphones. If you're looking for something to ENJOY WMA & MP3 music... do yourself a favor & spend some real money on a real pair of phones DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE. These will "do the job" if your only interest is hearing & not quality listening.

Having said that, I bought these specifically for language learning & voice recognition recording. They've worked great so far. They're sturdier than most of the other models I researched & for ... Read More
