Customer Reviews:

Good audio quality but a dangerous product [Posted on 2006-01-25]
This headset has good audio quality, a convenient volume control, and an adjustable mic. However this is product is dangerous. This product poses a tripping hazard waiting to happen. I mean who in the world would need 2 meters of cable to connect the headset to the computer? This headset is not recommended and needs to be redesign or else someone is going to get hurt or to say the least, have their connectors ripped out of the computer and damaged.

Great at first, but has a short existence. [Posted on 2006-05-17]
I've gone through two of these Altec Lansing headsets. Upon the first day of purchase and shortly thereafter, it's a great headset--but they die fast.

It's not sound-cancelling, but it's a very comfortable headset. I am a computer gamer, so comfort is essential for me after long hours of play. It is very light-weight. I can wear this headset all day, unlike most of the bulky sound-cancelling headsets out there. The sound isn't too bad though, and the microphone works well.

Unfortunately, these headsets seem to have a short lifespan. The first died in about 3 months, and the second died within 1 month! In both, the microphone started to malfunction first: the input would randomly become distorted and require to be replugged in for a temporary fix. Then, this headset suffers the fate that most headsets seem to suffer from: one of the two channels will completely die. This is usually a wire problem. The fix? Going out and throwing away money for a new headset. I'd like to call this a conspiracy, because Logitech headsets and other companies do the exact same thing.

If you take EXTREMELY good care of headsets, this might be a good choice. It's a comfortable and has good sound--when it's working correctly.

Speaker issue [Posted on 2006-11-14]
I use this for Teamspeak, it works.

I completely ruined the first pair I had, by stepping on it, ripping off the left speaker.

It appears I have blown the right speaker this time. I don't think I listen to things that loudly...
