Digital camera reviews of Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 ( 980374-0403 )
Digital camera Review: Be all end all
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm just really happy with this product. I have used it on XP, Vista and Ubuntu. Just plug it in the USB port and you have sound and mic. Great Product! I've been using mine heavily for a year with no problems. The bad part is, after long use the earphones become slightly uncomfortable. A little repositioning usually helps that. I went ahead and gave it 5 stars, you'll like it if you try it - All my friends have.

Digital camera Review: Beautiful set. Amazing quality for price
Summary: 5 Stars
I was terribly skeptical about this headset because of its startlingly low price, but I'm entirely satisfied with them! I noticed that there is an inline audio processor attached to the chord (this is a good thing), so when using these, you'll need to go into your audio settings and set the usb device as default, although it should do this automatically (except for programs like skype, you may need to adjust settings differently for different programs). Also, the inline volume controller is useful for some, but it turns up the computer system volume, not the volume just for the headphones. That is quite annoying for me, but for most, it's very convenient.
The Microphone: As for the recording quality of the mic, the inline audio unit filters out interference and provides decent recording quality for your microphone. USB headsets generally are better than analog 3.5mm headsets. They have increased bandwidth and are able to use things like inline audio modules to increase quality.
The Headphone sound quality: The quality of sound that these cans produce is certainly surprising at this price point. I was expecting muffled or excessively bright sound, but they're quite clear. They are slightly lacking in spots and they have a VERY subtle muffled quality, but they have amazing clarity and powerful punchy bass. They can handle volume too. There is zero distortion at max volume. I'm an audiophile, and I love high quality sound. These headphones have the potential to open up a world of crisp, live music and sound for you if you aren't used to expensive set ups with headphone amps and such. If you are used to a nice set up, then these headphones will be just fine for you. At least they won't displease you.
I needed a headset that merely got the job done. I was not concerned with quality of sound recording or playback, and in buying these, I was completely blown away at their incredible quality considering price. I was completely surprised at the performance of this headset, and the fact that it was 17.93 is absolutely astonishing. For music listening, I use a pioneer stereo receiver as an amp and equalizer for my senheisser HD 435 headphones. I don't mind switching to the logitech 350 to listen to music while I talk on skype. Logitech must have made a deal with the devil to produce quality audio recording and playback at such a low price. I'm entirely pleased.
Digital camera Review: Best USB headset in its class....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best USB headset you'll find for under $100. Provides excellent stereo output, and outstanding voice transmission quality. True plug-n-play through it's USB connection, nothing else to do except set your program to use it as you wish. USB is very low system drag compared to sound card plug-in type analog connections, as it is pure digital from start to finish. The mic is long enough to be correctly placed near your mouth for clear voice transmissions. Some others the mic is too short and ends up behind your mouth causing them to pickup other ambient noise. Not these. I highly recommend the Logitech 350 USB's over any other headsets in this class.Digital camera Review: Best for Skype
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these head sets for 2 years and they are the best. They block the noise and are very comfortable.Digital camera Review: Better Build than Logitech 250
Summary: 5 Stars
The build quality of the Logitech 350 is better than the 250 model. My 250 model died in 10 days. This may have been due to the 250's feeble build quality (at least compared to the 350). The 350 feels more durable.
I recommend spending a few dollars more for a 350 over a 250.
