Digital camera reviews of Plantronics DSP-400 Digitally-Enhanced USB Foldable Stereo Headset and Software
Digital camera Review: Excellent sound and ease of use.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent headphones. Good sound quality both on listening and the mic picks up well without a lot of environmental garbage. The mute is easy to use and lights up nicely to remind you that you are on mute. I had a problem on other headsets forgetting I was on mute and trying to talk to others.
The chord is nice and long to allow fairly free movement while on the headset. On some systems I have noticed the mute light coming on after having been plugged in a long time, but unplugging the USB connection and reconnecting clears this easily.
Well supported on XP and Vista.
Digital camera Review: Gets the job done, works very well
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is definitely Effective, but not highly efficient, hence the 4 stars. It's just a little...big. I'm being picky I suppose, but it could be minimized some. It's bulky, but if you're going to keep it at your desk or in a drawer then it's Great for the price. Good sound quality and comfort. Mic comes through very clear and crisp. Perfect for Skype chats. When I'm on the road though, I take my wireless headset, if that tells you anything.
I would buy if you're not on the road a lot, if you are, I would say opt for a bluetooth card and get a wireless earpiece. Much less stressful to pack.

Digital camera Review: Great for Skype
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this to use with Skype and it works as advertised. The cable is very long (~12 ft.) but has a block (much smaller than a transformer brick) near the USB connection. Haven't been able to keep it connected all the time because system sounds will then go through it (I'd rather listen to the speakers). There might be something in the setup that I don't have configured right. Also, the hinge points are almost too easy to move. They collapse very easily when not on.Digital camera Review: Great for Voice over IP
Summary: 5 Stars
I first got a DSP-400 a year ago at work, for a voice over IP (telephony on the computer) project - they had reviewed several products and picked the DSP-400. It was excellent for this, and the sound was great for music as well. I bought another one to use at home.
This works as an additional sound device, so you may have to configure your player to use it instead of the computer's built-in sound device.
Digital camera Review: comfortable headset if you wear glasses
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this headset to use with Skype. It is very comfortable - we both wear glasses. It can be comfortably worn for hours at time. We're told by friends it sounds better than the phone headset we used to use.
Some reviewers have complained about the long cord. I like it since it gives me some mobility around the room rather than tied to the computer.
There are more expensive headsets to be sure; however this is an excellent headset for the money - many grades above those cheap headsets!
