Digital camera reviews of Logitech Stereo USB Headset 250
Digital camera Review: $1 worth of parts would give this 5 stars
Summary: 1 Stars
What is there to like:
- good sound
- plug and play works (no hastle with Windows XP or OS X)
- the ear pieces are padded and comfortable, they are tight enough to give you good sound and not fall easily, but loose enough to be comfortable for long periods.
- no installation required.
- Mic works very well, keeps off harsh sounds (noise canceling in mic works)
You may be wondering why I rated this product 1 star, and the reason is simply that Logitech did not take the time or tiny expense to make the headband part of this headset comfortable!
The band is made of HARD plastic, and it is very thin. So a very thin, hard surface is weighing on the top of your head. It starts hurting after 5 minutes. Unless you have a ton of hair to provide padding between your head and the band I would strongly suggest to stay away from them.
A cheap padded wide plastic cover found in $1 dollar headphones would have done the trick, provide a wider, softer surface that rests on your head and the biggest issue with this headphone would be solved.
In fact, I would give it 5 stars if Logitech had taken the time to wear these headphones, and spend 50 cents on a more comfortable headband, or a cheap cover to provide that extra bit of padding.
I believe comfort should be the number 1 or number 2 (possibly after sound quality) most important aspect of a headset. If a product fails miserably on the comfort aspect it doesn't deserve more than 1 star.
Take this as a warning and stay away from them if you are looking for comfort. Maybe 15 minutes calls 3 times a week would be ok, but definitely not for extended use.
I really do not understand how more people haven't complained about this particular issue, I let my coworkers test them and all 3 gave them back after a couple of minutes. 2 of them were very petite with small heads, so I don't think headsize would matter.
