Avaya AVA80 Folding Stereo PC Headset Headset

Advantages: very cheap
Disadvantages: only go on one direction

...This head set has no special features, it is what it is. It has a long lead so you don't have to sit very close to you computer and an adjustable head size so anyone can use it. You can adjust the microphone position so it sits where you want it. When I got this headset I was amazed at the quality of sound it produces. It was only a cheap thing, £5.00 from Amazon and I just got it so I could talk to my friends whilst on a computer game. I did not expect the amazing quality.

This also means that they would not have to buy two separate devices (headphone + microphone) in order to fully enjoy... Read review

... Overview I first bought this headset a few months ago so that I could use Skype effectively. I was rather sceptical at first because this headset is a lot cheaper than others, although I didn't really know much about them. However, I am still using this same headset after all this time and I am very pleased with it's reliability. The headset is very easy to use and install (simply plug it in!). You may have to fiddle around with speaker and microphone levels on your computer but it is quite easy if you know how to (go to control panel or alter on Skype/whichever program you use). Features The best feature about this headset is the fact that it cancels aout background noise - so there is no horrible noise for anyone you are speaking to. The headset is completely compatible with Skype. It also is a 'behind... Read review
