  • Summary: This headset is extremely bad..do not buy it
  • Comment: I bought this headset 2 weeks back. I am extremely unhappy with it. Firstly it is very bulky to carry around. It is not at all comfortable on ears. My ears hurt even wearing this for 10 mins. Sound quality is just OK. Do no buy this product.

  • Summary: Not Even a Month
  • Comment: I didn't even have the headset for a month and the mic is already starting to break down on me. I mainly use it for recording my voice for online classes, so when I listen to what I recorded its starts at the beginning then it stops, then it stars again somewhere in the middle of what I recorded. At first when I got it it was working perfectly fine an i couldn't be happier with it. I was going to wait a month to write my review but it didn't even last that long. That's how far my $30 went with this product. The bass is awesome though.

  • Summary: Only lasts a couple of months!
  • Comment: I've been buying and using this headset for the last year or so. My husband and I have gone through about 5 sets so far, and have quit buying them.

    First and foremost, the big problem we have with this set is that the heavy volume control right in the middle of the wire causes it to short out over a short period of time. There is no clip on it, so you just have to let it swing free or lay it in your lap. With this set, first you hear static, then your mic stops working altogether. Our last order was for 3 of them: 1 for each of us, and a backup. The first one we opened didn't work at all, and was in 3 pieces. So we sent it back for a replacement. The two we used have now gone all but dead within a few months. The backup? Had the same problems as the one we returned. Either that was a horrible batch, or the quality is just down to nothing now.

    A big thumbs down to this headset nowadays.

  • Summary: Didn't work for me
  • Comment: I opened it and it was wraped in a plastic and it didnt come with a manual so I had to look it up online to find the instructions. At first i just plugged it in to see if it works right out of the box which failed. Then i process to download the software and it still didnt work so i ended up returning it out of my pocket and got a refund.
