Should be considered a torture device.......2007-05-30

This headset is SO UNCOMFORTABLE that I can't wear them for more than 5 minutes. Come on, who makes square ear pads?? Plus, the inside of each ear pad has solid, hard plastic that presses against your ears. Sure, the microphone works great but the only thing you'll be able to record are the sounds of your screams from the shear discomfort of wearing these.

Avoid at all costs!

Great headphones for gaming and speech recognition.......2007-05-07

I sit about 4 or 5 feet from a window air conditioner and it takes a really good microphone to filter out that background noise. I originally purchased Icemat Siberia Headset (Black) but the microphone didn't work well for speech recognition. The microphone on this headset works extremely well. Also, the headset is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I am very pleased with Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 9 and this headset. I'm using it right now to write this review, or should I say "talk" this review.

The Icemat USB headset really slowed my computer down while gaming. I am very happy to report that this headset does not or if it does it's not enough to be noticeable.

Okay now for a couple of very minor complaints. Firstly, the headset didn't come with any software, I had to download the software from their website. Which is okay I guess, but as much money as these cost the software should be included. Lastly, the headset is very light weight. That's one reason why you can wear them so long. But they seem a little flimsy. All in all, this is the nicest headset I've ever used.

Excellent sound quality... very comfortable for smaller ears.......2007-03-16

This is now my preferred Skype headset. I was previously using a wireless Linksys CIT300 phone which worked well but did not offer the same sound quality. It's hard to compete with a corded solution that covers both ears. This is an over the ear cushion model but it kind of sits on the ears rather than over them. I have other headsets that are more comfortable because they fully enclose the ears.

Good heaset for the price.......2006-08-27

Though this headset is certainly not the cheapest out there, it is a decent price considering there are headsets that go for double or even triple what this one goes for. The headset has a very ergonomic desgin. (Although it does make you look wierd as most headsets do.)
