 Portable and still working... Feb 23, 2012
By Aunt T
I have had these for a few years now. I am pleased with them.
They have their own volume adjustment wheel so that you can easily change the volume without resorting to the computer's volume control. The sound quality is good and you can somewhat amplify the sound when you need to. As someone else mentioned, the boom for the mic is a tube. It is actually removable. This makes it light and slimline. The mic boom can be turned to adjust the angle or move it out of the way when you are not using it. In talking to others online, they tell me that the sound quality is good. When I have made recordings, I find it to be very clear sound pickup.
These fold up and I have taken them on trips or put them in my laptop bag to go somewhere. They have stood up to folding and unfolding and remain as stable now as when I bought them. They are a behind-the-head style and it will fit differently according to the size of your head and other personal factors. It works fine for me.
Overall, I have liked these and felt they were a good value for my uses. If you need a portable headset for talking online or recording voice on the computer for basic use, I recommend these.
 Shoddy microphone Feb 10, 2010
By KimberelyG
Comfortable to wear, but the microphone was absolute crap.
It was composed of a hollow metal tip with a hollow plastic tube leading up to the earpiece. There were no electronic components leading down to the mouthpiece, and I fail to see why it was even there. The microphone receiver was located INSIDE the earpiece, and when it did manage to catch the odd sound, it put itself in an endless loop - any noise coming out of the earpieces was picked up by the microphone.
Since I bought this FOR the microphone, it was entirely unusable. It's currently being sent back to Amazon for a refund. Mine might have been a fluke, but I won't be trying these headphones again. Instead, I got a Cyber Acoustics AC-645 stereo headset w/mic and have been very pleased with it these past few weeks.
 Falls short in the comfort department Dec 17, 2009
By Joseph M. Allen
I got mine at a local Microcenter store for about $8. I use them for on-line gaming chat. Functionally they work just fine. Occasionally when I am trying to adjust them the clear plastic tube that you speak into comes off, but goes back on just fine. I asked the folks I chat with and they say they can hear me real well.
I like that they can be folded up and thrown into my laptop bag without taking up much room (however, for trips where I have to fly, I still take my full size over the ear noise-canceling Sony headphones). They have held up well from a wear and tear perspective.
My problem is with the comfort. After wearing them for longer than 10-15 min, they dig into the back of your ears. I find myself constantly trying to adjust them on my head so they don't hurt my ears. I have worn other behind the head design earphones that were much more comfortable.
