These headsets need no battery. Of course, and their cable seems to be about as good a quality as most. There is no independent volume control for the earpiece so you must set your volume using the speaker icon at the bottom left of your window screen. I was annoyed by this. However, I and my are other headsets my shirt would constantly change the volume on the knob anyway. With no volume control on the cable I can set it with the speaker icon and then it doesn't change.
I use this every day with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and I did have to go through a microphone calibration since his output level is apparently different than the earlier headsets I've used. This only took a minute or two in the headsets work flawlessly sense.
The audio quality of the speaker is pretty good. Once again, money might buy a better headset, but nothing will keep record from being pinched except for going wireless, and I just don't want to do that.
I don't see any reason you'd be sorry for buying these, particularly since they are modestly priced. Good luck.
My only complaint is that if I wear them long enough it starts to hurt. Maybe I just never figured out how to position them correctly, or maybe they just don't fit alongside my glasses, but they're not great for my long gaming sessions. They're designed to use pressure and tension to stay in place on your head, which is probably fine for those who don't wear glasses, but for me, it causes an uncomfortable pinch. Also the edges where they go up over the ear are kind of sharp, so if I adjust the headset to relieve the pinch, it digs into my ear a little, which isn't comfy. Again, this might be user error or perhaps the "behind the head" layout is just a bad design for me, but think carefully about what's comfortable for you before you dive into a headset purchase.
Bottom line: If you're good with this style, than this will probably meet and likely exceed your expectations for the price. Else, you might want to keep looking.
Plus I wanted something lightweight for summer. Big headsets are just tto hott to wear in summer when I am working on my netbook outside.
I love this headset. Its comfortable. Easy to toss on and off my head.
The sound is fine and the mic works great. I used it with my language software and with Win7 voice recognition software. Both worked great.
I have a small head so finding something that would fit me was a worry as most standard size adjustable headsets do not fit me even when adjusted to the smallest size. This set works for me!! The mic is perfectly aligned for me too.
For people with average to large head size this set may be a little tight fitting. I dont know if it would stretch in time, but its a snug but comfy fit on my child sized head.
So for other small people, I am 5ft and 100 pounds, this is a great headset!
I am glad I found it.
I am using it on a Win7 Acer netbook with no issues.
My netbook have the 2 jacks needed, side by side, making it simple to plug in.
This headset costs less than $20 and works delightfully well. The people I call can hear me very clearly and I am able to hear them just as well.
The headset is very simple to begin using since the two plugs for sound and mic are labeled clearly. Also, the chord is very long so it accommodated my needs very well. My hard drive is located at the bottom of my desk and not directly below my monitor.
I did not find that the plastic piece on the headset hurt me even after nearly an hour of having it on.
For the price I paid and for my uses, I find that this headset is perfect.
