Advantages: Good value for money, effective, good sound quality, comfortable Disadvantages: Perhaps somewhat flimsy; but nothing much to report
...that much more than the Labtec 242.
Speaking from experience, it's probably a really good option for a first-time buyer. '''Negatives'''
I've heard people saying that it's 'unsubstantial', 'weak' and flimsy; that the sound output decreases and that the foam of the headphones come off. After a few months of use I could see the wear and tear - the ear pads came off, the mic bent out of place and it ended up snapping.

I would highly recommend this to anyone!!! ...
