Logitech PC Headset 120 Review

Advantages: Cancels out background noise
Disadvantages: Microphone only average

... 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...

Sennheiser PC 120 Headset

Advantages: Great crisp sound, excellent fit
Disadvantages: Lack of volume control with Xbox 360

...Having worked in call centres before I was quite disappointed to learn that Microsoft's official headset for the Xbox 360 was just like the one I was accustomed to, you know the one that pulls half your hair out when you take it off and makes you look like one of the chickens on that car insurance advert, therefore you can imagine my delight when the new Sennheiser PC 120 arrived at my door. The headset ( as you can see from the picture below) goes with the more modern bluetooth style that fits comfortably over and into your ear, you can also switch between your left and right ear depending which way feels more comfortable. When you first see the connections on the end of the headphones you think to yourself, "now where am I going to stick that on my 360's controller" due to the 2 x 3.5mm jacks (I will explain these later) on the end...

Review of Sennheiser PC 120 Headset

Headset built to last

Advantages: Great sound quality, comfortable ear pads, mute & volume controls
Disadvantages: Ears hurt after long use (very small disadvantage)

...The Sennheiser PC 151 Headset was designed specifically for avid gamers who want to avoid disturbing anyone (neighbours and family) from the noise created by speakers. This particular headset will be perfect for gamers who tend to play for long hours as the headphones as well as the head strap are padded with a soft cushion material, intended to provide maximum comfort. Although, designed specifically for gamers, the Sennheiser headset can be used for other purposes such as listening to music on a mobile phone or mp3 player on the go as well as for any other use. With the addition of a microphone protruding out of the ear phone on the left, gamers can now talk to their gaming buddies whilst playing their games. This also means that they would not have to buy two separate devices (headphone + microphone) in order to fully enjoy...

Review of Sennheiser PC 151 Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...of the headset has a push-and-pull joint. If I am using it, I have to set it to maximum length. if my 10-year-old nephew would use it for some PC games, he just pushes the headband inward and it adjusts itself at about half an inch. The head band is soft with its rubberized texture and it is lightweight so it doesn't make me feel like being 'gripped' at the head while using it. I like the headband's 'adjustable length' feature of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset as it adjusts to different head parameters. The Earpieces Logitech Dialog 812 Headset's earpieces amazed me with their good sound-quality output. They deliver bass-rich sound and the treble is well-adjusted. The earpieces produce an even sound whether I use the headset for online conversation or merely listening to my favorite music over the computer. My 2-year old used to ruggedly play...

Review of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset

Sennheiser PC 130 headset

Advantages: Good sound quality, cheap price, long cable, microphone.
Disadvantages: Painful during and after prolonged usage

...I have owned a Sennheiser headset for about 8 months now, and have, on the whole been slightly disappointed by it's performance. Looks: The Sennheiser PC 130 headset is an ordinary headset package. The black and silver color scheme make the product suitable for both office and home; subtle curves and contours add to the sleek and professional appearance of the product. Practicality: This headset is lightweight and moderately adaptable for different sized heads. It has an easily adjustable,sliding headband that allows plenty of room for the largest of heads. This headset also comes with a relatively long connection cable which allows free, but limited movement across the room. The main flaw i have found with this product is the comfortability. I have found that over prolonged periods of usage, these headphones become...

Review of Sennheiser PC 130 Headset

on headsets

Advantages: comfy all day wear
Disadvantages: loud feedback

...This headset is a bit expensive for its quality. Although i bought mine outside the country for a considerable lesser price, had i known better, i would have bought a wireless one. It is still functional after two years. I lost both of the voice tube microphone cover though and i think that is whats causing too much echo when i talk and too much mic sensitivity. That also causes alot of feed back so i have to press on mute all the time, and everytime i am done speaking, to avoid the feedbacks. On the upside it supports all Plantronics amplifiers and USB-to-headset adapters so i guess i just have to get one. It is also comfortable to wear for long hours. I would not recommend to get leatherette ear cushions, that made my ears sweat and itchy eeks....

Review of Plantronics SupraPlus H261 Headset

Bluetooth headset.

Advantages: small, light weight
Disadvantages: none really

...Ok where to start. My sister got the headset free with her Motorola phone (ages ago) she has never used it and hid lost the instructions for it. We have just moved house and my dad found the headset. He charged it up but none of use could work out how to use it as SOMEONE (My sister) had lost the instructions. So I searched the web yesterday and found a PDF instruction book ready to look at. The file loaded up and I was using the headset in minutes. -The box- the box is made of plastic and is about 25cm tall and 20 cm wide. (approx.). There is a stylish cover thing on the inside so you can see what you are buying. It says; " Bluetooth Universal Wireless Headset HS850" it also states that it is compatible with all Bluetooth phones. The headset is displayed at the front of the box with the microphone open so you can see the size...

Review of Motorola HS850 Headset

Fantastic headset, comfortable and easy to use

Advantages: Lightweight, Cool ears!!
Disadvantages: Not adjustable - but I didn't need to!

...black leather which is quite nice against the skin, and they do not feel particularly heavy on the ears. If you wear specs I have found it is more comfortable to have them slightly above the headset, as if you are wearing it for a long time - say 4-5 hours of gaming - it can be a little uncomfortable where the headset is resting on the ear. The headset is designed to have the mic on the right hand side (inconvenient if your computer is to the left!) and although it might be possible to have it on the left I don't think it'd be particularly comfortable. In terms of performance, I was completely impressed. Transatlantic phone calls over skype were crystal clear at both ends, my friend could hear me easily and the sound quality is brilliant. Unlike some microphones, you don't have to have it right in front of your mouth so you can...

Review of Logitech Digital Precision PC Gaming Headset Headset

XBL COMMUNICATION HEADSET FTW!

Advantages: Value for money.
Disadvantages: Some problems.

...The Xbox live communicator headset is an accessory that comes with Xbox Premium Console and Xbox elite controller and is one method of using the voice messaging services on Xbox live, The headset itself connects to the Xbox 360 wireless controller via a cable only. During this review I will discuss several concerns that affect the usage of this headset. Usability The headset itself connects easily to the XBOX Wireless controller and the connecter itself never disconnects whilst using, this is a perfect design feature as a lot of other headsets use basic audio input sockets(like on a cd player) which aren?t very reliable. The connecter has a switch on it that allows you to turn of the Microphone which is useful if some come in real life is talking to you whilst playing the game. The cable itself you would think be annoying being...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

Xbox 360 headset

Advantages: clarity, freedom, style
Disadvantages: price, pain(can be overcome)

...I own this bad boy, just like every other product made by microsoft. It is clear, seemless, easy to connect, stylish, and pinacle of technology. When you change from wired to wireless headset on the xbox 360 controller. You get worried that when you drop your controller, your head will get yanked down like it used to. But it doesn\'t, its a strange feeling. Bonuses - you can go to the toilet and still talk; you can move about 10 metres away if you down have metal between you and the headset. The headset is very painful mind you but if you are like me, smart, and your wired headset broke, you can nick the foam thing on the microphone, cut a hole in the top and slot it over one of the two different ear peices. Medium and small. It has the two ear peices which will fit absolutely anyone. The microphone is clear and is just the same as...
