Digital camera reviews of Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 ( 980374-0403 )
Digital camera Review: BROKEN - UNCOMFORTABLE - POOR QUALITY - AVOID
Summary: 1 Stars
Now, the volume slides down to zero as soon as it is plugged in. I can watch the volume bar slide down - if I quickly unplug it the volume stops dropping.
I called Logitech and they diagnosed it as broken. They said a defective dongle is the culprit and of course it is out of warranty.
Quality control is lacking.
This headset was very uncomfortable and squeezed my ears too tight. AVOID
Digital camera Review: Bad craftsmanship
Summary: 2 Stars
I will echo what seems to be a common problem with this headset:
1) Extremely uncomfortable (but you can grow accustomed to it over time)
2) Poor and/or failing sound quality
The poor fit is just bad design, but most people can probably live with it. What concerns me the most is how badly the sound deteriorates. It is clearly a poor wiring job or maybe they use cheap wires, but the sound is not getting through completely. The left channel was the first to drop (completely at the time of this review), and now the right channel is dimming as well.
The mic seems to be in working order (although I have not tested it recently).
I've owned these for about half a year, and had a good experience with them until the sound started deteriorating about a month ago. Even taking precautions to take care of them, the sound is now completely shot. It is disappointing that a ~$90 headset would fail within six months. I've had much cheaper headsets last years.
Just a note, the problem seems to stem from poor wiring (or wires?), between the controller and the headset.
Digital camera Review: Bad design
Summary: 1 Stars
The USB plug on this head set sticks out enough to assure you will break it within 6 months and have to throw them away after turning you head accidentally yanking the connection. I then got wireless - and then one side went out on those.Digital camera Review: Bad design, uncomfortable, and cheap plastic that breaks
Summary: 1 Stars
One day while I was wearing the headphones for about 20 minutes, for no
apparent reason, one side broke, while they were sitting on my head. I know I didn't do anything to cause this, I attribute it to a bad design, and perhaps cheap plastic. So I taped the one side back on with electrical tape.
About 2 months later, again, while the earphones were on my head for quite some time, the opposite side broke. I taped that side too.. Now, I do enjoy the sound that comes from these headphones, so I figured that I could live with the tape.
Yes, they did hurt my ears when worn for more than 1/2 hour like everyone else is mentioning.
Well today, the tape gave way, and they broke again.
The sound quality is there. As far as the manufacturing quality, the only thing that seems to be made very well, is the shiny Logitech logo on the side of the earphone.
I hope Logitech learned from this mistake and will put more effort into finding a better manufacturer of their products.
Digital camera Review: Bad headset
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these a couple of days ago and loathe them. They sound great, but if you can't wear them it's useless. After about 30 seconds your ears start to ache and don't stop aching until you pass out from pain. Logitech should have tested them on people not rodents. I don't normally bother with reviews, but this product is such a stinker I couldn't help myself.
I'm taking them back tomorrow.
