Plantronics .Audio 355 Multimedia Headset

This headset was the right price for what I needed for PC gaming/talking on aim/Skype. I wanted a quality headset microphone that would make me clear to hear to people.

The mic quality is GREAT, and so is the sound quality of the headphones. The sounds are all clear and I had no hissing or anything. The headset feels very sturdy and of quality construction, especially the fabric-covered padding. I love how the headset folds up and away if needed. You can bend the sticking-out mic part forward/back towards your mouth, and then the joint at the head does up/down, so it's a lot more precise than the loosey-goosey free wire-bending boom mics. It basically gives me the steady-placement FEEL of a hard plastic fixed position mic...only this one IS adjustable.

My only complaint is the headband was TOO TIGHT - it pinches my earlobe tops against the padding to my head. I've been leaving it on a box to stretch out the plastic of the headband. My head is small...Read more

Best gaming headset I ever used, beats all my logitechs, and my Bose!! Good buy good buy!

PROS: Cheap, AWESOME for Price, Amazing sound quality, GOOD bass

CONS: SHORT CORD, BEWARE, if you're like me and walk around while on skype and such, you will not go far!

UPDATE: My second pair has broken, after intense gaming it came down to about 2 of these per year...Too expensive and the flimsly headband made me switch to a nicer, around ear plantronics. Great for the temporary user though!

I bought these based on other reviews and its price. Since having and using them for over 2 months now, I'm very satisfied. They sound very good, are very comfortable to wear, and the mic works very well. I use them to chat on MSN--still can't figure out the problem w/Skype--and help me w/my language course, work perfectly. The adjustable mic is an added plus. My only negative would be that they tend to pinch my ears after a prolong session of chatting, not sure if that's b/c they are new or designed that way. Overall, I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a solid pair of multimedia headphones at a VERY reasonable price.
