Good for the price

Compact Design, Easy To Use

Best Uses:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a good, inexpensive headset. One ear, so only good for voice. I use it for Skype, and I've gotten good reviews from people on the other end. The folding design is somewhat flawed--the parts don't fit well against each other when folded, leaving it still somewhat bulky. It's very lightweight, so it's comfortable for long periods of time.

Short Boom and lots of noise

By studyfreak

Pros:

Compact Design, Easy To Use

Cons:

Poor Sound Quality

Best Uses:

Typing & Talking

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This small lightweight headset is a good value, if you are not particular about performance. I found that it has a lot of background electrical hum or noise. Because of the background noise, my voice recognition software couldn't pick up most of what I was saying.

The microphone boom is also an issue, since that also does not seem to offer very much flexibility in fitting the person.

Overall, not bad, but if you are using voice recognition programs for typing and such, this may not be the one for you.

Bottom Line:

I have been chatting on Skype with a guy who owns a recording studio. He is so amazed at the excellent quality of the mike, he's going to buy a couple for himself. He said the "P"s don't pop the mike and the "S"s don't sound shrill. He said the mike would be excellent for narration and other speaking recording projects. It has excellent bottom end, he says. The portability is awesome, too. I like that it has dual jacks because I don't have to use up another USB port, and because it's easily portable to your laptop or other hardware.
