Digital camera reviews of Logitech 980158-0403 Internet Chat Headset
Digital camera Review: Decent set for price
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice headset for the price. Fairly comfortable, long cord, clear speakers, local mute/volume. For me these are perfect for regular random use. After an hour or two of constant use my ears will be aching slightly. If your on your headset more than an hour or two at a time each day, consider something nicer. Otherwise this unit seems top quality for its price.Digital camera Review: Does Exactly What it's Supposed To.

This headset is everything it says and nothing it doesn't say. I think it works really well -great sound for me and I can be clearly heard by people on the other end. No surprises. The cord is pretty long, too, so you can move around quite a bit -or just tie it up a little for neatness.Digital camera Review: Don't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I had and used this headset for 2.5 years. It worked but the foam parts around the mic fell apart fairly soon. Now I finally bought a new no brand headset for $10, and I'm absolutely stunned at the difference in sound quality, particularly the mic. All those two years people had trouble understanding me and I always blamed everything but this headset. Logitech should be ashamed for selling such a low quality item.Digital camera Review: Don't get these
Summary: 2 Stars
Comfort:Not sure if it's this brand, or all behind the neck headphones/headsets, but the are horribly uncomfortable for me. The plastic part that fits over your ear (between the top of your ear and your head) ends up hurting after about 10 mins of wearing these. My brother has a pair of altec lansing AHS-302 that are the same style, and he likes them. We are the same shape and build (6'2"), so I'm not sure if it's the brand or the style.
Sound:
The sound from these are lack luster. I mainly used them for playing online games and using teamspeak. I could hear other people's voices just fine, but the sounds on the game (BF1942) where nothing to write home about. I suppose for the price, I can't expect too much.
Microphone:
This microphone on this or horrible. It comes to the corner of your mouth (as designed) which I like. Problem is, you have to turn the sensitivity up to high to pick up your voice. Using teamspeak, the sound quality of the microphone was the worse of all friends logged in. I know that internet chat sound quality is not a great test, but everyone commented on how "tinny" the sound was from mine, as compared to everyone else (no one else was using these headsets).
Conclusion:
I would not recommend these even if you like the behind the neck headphones. The sound is rather lack luster and the microphone is one of the worse ones on the market. I took my back to the store and bought a set of over the ear (ear-cup) headsets from Altec Lansing (AHS-502). The AHS-502's where $25. They are far superior to the logitech, although the microphone one both are not as good as the Sennheiser PC-130's. I enjoy the performance of the AHS-502 sound much better than either of the other headsets though.
