fits tight but sounds good Apr 15, 2009
By Brian LaLonde
This is a "value" headset made by Genius. The B in HS-02B stands for blue. The plug-ins for both headphones and mic are 3.5mm stereo mini-plug. The cord is at least 5 feet long.
This headset worked actually quite well for me when tested with Skype. The sound seems to be focused for more crispness in the high-end both in microphone and earphones.
I have just two gripes about these: 1. The headset pads are a bit thin, so they tend to feel tough and clamped onto the ears. 2. The whole ensemble just feels cheap and so I expect especially the plastic parts of the headset to snap at some point.
You get what you pay for - they'll work.
Here's a link to the product at Genius:

 The cheap little headset that could... Dec 09, 2010
By Eric Johnson
Each of my kids have their own computers and when both are playing games or watching movies, it's very hard for me to concentrate.
Just in case my review gets truncated, let me say that I'm pleased, would recommend, and will buy again when I need a headset for the kids.
That said...
I've never spent under 40 dollars on a headset since all mine were used for gaming but those headsets would be overkill for their uses.
I was a bit scared after I opened the box and saw the packaging. It is cheap and one of the plastic shells literally fell off when I picked it up to take the headset out. However, after they've been using them every day for a good month or two now, I can say that's not really an issue (maybe if you bought from a store, but having it delivered doesn't require solid packaging).
The mic works well. My daughter loves using Rosetta Stone and I was a bit concerned about the mic quality but I haven't heard her have to repeat herself or have other issues, so that concern was also unfounded.
So despite first impressions with the cheap plastic covering (which I think is still BETTER than the razor sharp clamshell plastic wrapping found on electronics), the mics and headsets work fantastic, survive lots of abuse, and are perfect for someone who doesn't need expensive acoustics.
Would buy again and will if/when one breaks.

Cheap and very clear Dec 21, 2010
By FerociousTek
Cheap and very clear. I use it with my VoIP and my callers say it sounds clearer then my mobile phone. Works perfect with Rosetta Stone.

 It's done!! Aug 03, 2011
By Erica Davenport
When I got this I thought it was a good deal. Now I am back looking for a new one. I used it for SKYPE phone calls. It was fine the first few months I got it. I take care of it, plus it was not my main headphone. I have a SONY that is great wished they also have one with a microphone.
It worked great the volume control and the flexible wire of a mike it's easy to adjust but very easy to bend. After two months the sound went in the left ear not sure if it's because of the design or where the microphone is placed. Thought I would limp along since I didn't use it too often but I tried to adjust the thin microphone wire and it's coming apart. This is after 4 months of light use. I didn't drop it or used it too often just light use.
Quite nice May 09, 2011
By P. Church
The headset has very good audio quality and are pretty comfortable to wear even for hours of usage. The limited rotation for the mic is a little odd but easily adjustable.
