1 Logitech Headsets
I recently bought, and returned the next day, a Logitech headset which connected to the audio inputs of my MAC G4. The microphone was apparently dead out of the box. I have had similar quality problems with products from this company before.

2 bad mechanical design
I had it for 10 months, used it daily for internet voice chat and a bit of music listening. No big demands. Had clear sound, the mic was fine, the USB convenient. However, although I treated the unit with utmost care, after 10 months the wires in the cable connected to the inline volume controller broke up, and I could hear the sound through the phones only at a specific cable bending angle. Then, after 3 days, the wires totally gave up. I can not get to the wires since the volume unit seems to be welded together. Will try to get RMA.
3 don't bother buying this one
I went to Staples and found this one and read the features and was impressed and wanted to try as rest that fall in the category are a little pricy! but after i had this product for 4 days i am disappointed at the workman ship, the usb interface (black little rectangle thing) is bulky and i could not wear the phones comfortably as i had lot of ear rubbibg despite the soft earpads, I just did not like this product and i am shipping this back to amazon and am planning on getting SONY MDR-NC6 which i tried at my friends place.
4 Nice concept bad execution
Headphones and mic work well enough. Though I had the same problem as the Dr right out of the box. It tries to adjust the volume to zero. My work around was a tube of Chapstick and a mini wood clamp to hold the up volume control button in. This causes the volume adjustment to stop so I could use the headset. I like it but it's definitely getting returned/exchanged.
5 Bad value
This headset really disappointed me. For the first four to five weeks I owned this headset, it suited my needs. However, it soon began to fail; it refused to play back any audio and it recorded unacceptable amounts of static. Despite these problems, it is incredibly expensive for the quality it promises. Logitech has completely ruined this headset.
6 microphone broke down after four months
Because I suffer from a repetitive stress injury, I am dependent on voice recognition software (and thus, a decent microphone) just to get by using the computer.
I was very disappointed with this product. Although the volume and mute futures worked well (better than a previous Plantronics product), after about four months of daily use, the microphone simply stopped functioning. Before that, the recognition was pretty great.
The headphone sound seemed pretty good, I used them to listen to CDs all time. Never had any problems with the sound cutting out.
Perhaps Logitech needs to work out its quality control little bit better. I would buy the product again if I knew that it would last.
7 Didn't last
I was perfectly happy with this set despite the fact that it bypasses your soundcards features - until they malfunctioned. The volume control is broken and forces the volume to 0. I found that at least two other people had this problem on the Logitech website where there was no solution and no response from Logitech via email.
Very dissapointed and out $40 to boot.
8 Beware the wire
I thought the price was a little steep. The sound was better than my Altec Lansing AHS 302 (Don't even bother) but after 1 week the flimsy wire started to give me mic static. This is confirmed from a friend who had the same unit. Can't use it anymore.
9 Definitely Not for a Gamer(or people with big heads)
I feel cheated by Logitech on this one. Though the mid and high frequency sounds are great, this headset offers nothing on the bottom end. It can probably handle it however there are no settings to increase the bass.
The USB system acts as its own soundcard and uses an "extremely basic" driver from windows giving you minimum settings to change the sound quality(Logitech didn't make a driver for this headset). To make a long story short the only option you have is volume control and balance, nothing else.
Another problem is that I find I cannot wear the headset for long periods of time as there is a lot of pressure on the head. Of course I have a big fat head.
The price is simply not worth it. Look for something else.
(My Microsoft Game Voice Headset is better than this and cost half the price)
10 Ok- Could Be much better
I am a major gamer and all I can say is pricey. The microphone has unparralled quality but the headphones plain SUCK. Also, bcause it's usb, sometimes u get static especially when using ventrilo or teamspeak2. For 25 dollars and under it would be worth the price. Otherwise I suggest buying something else. Easy To setup and work but not the most reliable.
