Advantages: Cheap.. Disadvantages: ..and not that great!
Judging the packaging alone, the AltecLansingAHS-502 appears to be an impressive and expensive headset. When in reality it costs a mere £19.95 (including VAT) - the deception goes no further than that though.
While it's a big ole set of cans, the quality of the build feels somewhat flimsy. The huge size definitely works against it - although the closed cup design keeps in sound and external noise out, your ears start to sweat after only a few minutes of use. Not at all pleasant.
The microphone is attached to the left earpiece by what is essentially a flexible piece of plastic. This can be moved into any position for optimal placement, but the cable doesn't follow the plastic very well, which gives a pretty messy look.
Microphone recording quality was a saving grace overall, as my voice was picked up loud and clear above ...

After my Sennheiser CX 300's snapped a friend gave me his AltecLansings.
At first they did take some getting used to as they are bigger than the CX 300s, I would prefer them slightly smaller. Background noise isn't a problem but initially you may find the silicone tips take a bit of wiggling about to get them to fit exactly if you want them to block out all background noise. You'll get used to the positioning very quickly so it won't be a problem for long. The noise isolation level is 16dB which as far as I'm aware is more than those of the CX 300 which I think is around 12dB. If you need more than 16dB there's also a Professional set which have a noise isolation level of 26dB and generally higher spec.
The cable is a cloth cable making the durability greater. The earphones also come with a pouch to store them in and several sets ...
