Digital camera reviews of Logitech 980158-0403 Internet Chat Headset

Digital camera Review: Amazing headphones, horrendous microphone
Summary: 2 Stars

I've gotten a lot of use out of this headset first of all. After, literarily, at least a 100 hours of useing these for Ventrillo mainly, I have to warn people.

The headphones themselves are great. The sound quality is great, and easily adjustable to any situation because of the volume slider.

Personaly I never found them uncomforetable like other reviews stated. No matter how they fit, you can simply tilt them downwards or forwards depending on the fit.

Also as someone who wears glasses, they don't get in the way. It's a behind the ears headset, the clips that rest on your ears are just that, your glasses can, and will, easily go right over the half an inch clip of plastic.

BUT, the bad part about the headset is probably the main reason for purchasing it.

Everything involving the microphone is horrendous.

If you want to use it for voice chat in games, such as ventrilo, team speak, roger wilco, etc., you will hear NOTHING but "Huh? Did somebody just say something?!? I thought I heard a noise..." or more often "Put your outbound vollume to the absolute max," "Put the microphone closer," and of course "Speak louder!"

It really is that bad, you will have to put the microphone literarily INSIDE of your mouth for anyone to hear you.

No matter what you do, it's near impossible for anyone to hear you. Also recording anything is impossible of course.

It's a great product as far as headphones, and I still use it for just that, but if you want to use it for anything involving the microphone, don't. They're are much better products out there.

Digital camera Review: At the 3-month mark~ @_@
Summary: 3 Stars

Well, the price was just right and I got 3 due to the pricing~

Their fates are, after 3 months of continuous use:

1. Working just fine, clear sound, working microphone ^o^
2. Microphone is not picking up sound, unless you stuff it in your mouth basically @_@;
3. Microphone does not seem to work at all, and was a bit dodgy from the beginning

1 and 3 were taken very good care of, 2 might have been been or twisted a few too many times ^o^

Still, was worth the price for the usage I got from it ^__^

Digital camera Review: Awesome, very light wearable and great sound
Summary: 5 Stars

A must buy for high volume chat users !!

Digital camera Review: Bad Sound Quality
Summary: 2 Stars

I was not expecting much in terms of sound quality (for this price), but compared to a cheapie Plantronics headset/mic I thought this would be similar. No, I was wrong. I needed to boost the Treble almost all the way up & reduce the Bass almost all the way down. Even then, the sound is very thin. I suspect that the high range of the speaker is broken (maybe the mid too).

Seems from the rest of the reviews that this product (I like other Logitech products) has some quality control problems at the plant.

Digital camera Review: Best headset for your computer
Summary: 5 Stars

Given the price, the sound quality is very good. It's so clear & rich. You can use it only for internet chat or gaming, but also music listening.

Speaking of comfort, I have worn them for 2 hours and my ears still don't have any sign of fatigue.

I think they are worth the money.
