Digital camera reviews of Plantronics DSP-400 Digitally-Enhanced USB Foldable Stereo Headset and Software
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!
Digital camera Review: Nice headset - if you get the new version...
Summary: 3 Stars
Updated 4/25/08 Plantronics has updated this headset. The "bulge" in the cord is now a much smaller device which makes the new version of the headset much better. I'd give the new version 4 stars. It's still a little bulky but it works great. This is our standard headset for folks using Cisco IP Communicator.
This headset works great. The only problem is Plantronics missed the mark on what a folding headset is for. It comes with a boat anchor attached to the cord. This makes it hard to carry around. Good headset - yes. Portable - no.
Digital camera Review: Works fine
Summary: 4 Stars
Headset works fine. I like the folding design to make it easier to carry in my laptop bag but unfortunately the DSP brick in the middle of the line adds significantly to the bulk and there are a lot of wires to cram into my bag & untangle when I pull it out.
