Digital camera reviews of Logitech Premium Notebook Headset
Digital camera Review: Decent. But Overpriced
Summary: 3 Stars
I forget exactly how long I had this product. Probably a little over a year.. maybe 2. And the mic just went out. I don't know how long these things are supposed to last, so I don't know if that's good or bad.
PROS: Carrying case. It folds into a stylish black box nicely to fit into my laptop bag. The headphones fold flat so that it can fit into a thinner case. Microphone comes around and goes in front of your mouth... not next to your cheek which I liked a lot. Microphone can flipped out of the way on days when you don't need it. Sound quality and microphone I think were exactly what you should expect from a headset. No complaints there. The USB adapter was great! When my microphone jack broke on my computer, I was able to use it to replace it. Microphone mute button is useful.
CONS: THE MICROPHONE went out on me after a year or so. But this is to be expected with all headsets I think.. especially wired ones where you have to fool around with the wires all the time.
Digital camera Review: Delicate, but not too delicate.
Summary: 4 Stars
It works as promised, but does feel breakable, requires extra care, but worth it for the sound quality.Digital camera Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Very cleverly designed. The adjustable headpieces are a nice touch (but on mine one of the ear pieces was so stiff that it was useless). Then you get a travel case that it fits neatly into and a usb convertor.
All that though is irrelevant if the unit does not work properly. Sound quality was very poor and when used with a voice chat application you can turn the volume on the pc and headset way up to max and barely hear anyone. I've normally been quite happy with Logitech, so I was very dissapointed with these.
Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this headset a little while ago. I have found it to be very comfortable. It sounds great when listening to music and it works great for gaming. It sounded great when play UT2004. It's USB adapter is very handy and works good. It nice because it folds up into its own hard case. If you want good sound on the go, for gaming, chating online, or listening to music , i would recommend this headset.
It is once again proof of Logitech's great quality.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Product when it comes to voice recognition...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a high quality headset/headphones. Before I go into deep detail why I love this headset, I like to forewarn that I am tech geek and test everything very thoroughly. Furthermore, I am very picky and extremely quick to return things if the product does not do its intent purpose to my liken. In this case, I wanted this headset to be a great communicator headset during Skype calls as well as for me working on the voice recognition software. Onward to this review - here is my + and - of this set of headphones:
Positive:
* Extremely comfortable and multiple settings to fit onto your head correctly.
* Has a USB connector that has its own "sound card" built in. Why is this important? Not all computer/laptop's soundcard can handle voice and sound @ the same time:i.e. when you talk, your customer voices might get blank out in the process... Hence if you have problems with this headset - try the USB doggle, it will runs circle on your computer's sound card.
* The boom mic can be turn backwards to be out of the way when you are not using it. This serve 2 things that are dear to me: 1) I don't look like a dork when I have it on my head when I am just listening to music and 2) it is more inviting to my co-workers to approach to me when they have a question.
* Sound quality is excellent.
* The Boom Mic has a very good pick-up and works REALLY well for Microsoft Vista Voice Recognition software(comes free with its OS - bet you didn't know it even existed, did ya - try it - it is truely amazing considering it is completely free). Hence, this is a very good communication headset. I really wish I can connect this to my cell phone some how...
* The headset is fold-able and has its own hard plastic case that has molded plastic molding inside the case so your headset is well protected in the box(this includes the USB doggle)! Hence the case isn't just a box so you can dump everything in there recklessly. Yes, putting away force you to do it correctly. Personally I thought the case is well thought out and consider as a must if you are a traveler...
Negative:
* It is NOT bluetooth(IMHO, I don't think there is any bluetooth headset will past the voice recognition software anyway) - NOT a huge burden.
* Cord is quite long can be quite trouble some. I can live with it.
* The ear "muffs" is NOT ideal to wear during a workout - will pickup too much sweat. Yuck!
* Did I say it is NOT bluetooth?!
In short, I love this headset a lot and use it throughout my day(listening to music, answering calls via Skype, and read out my dictation to MS Word and Outlook). I really wish I can use this headset with my cell phone somehow... Did I say I really wish this headset is bluetooth capable?
