Music while I work (out) with the Nokia BH-604 Headset

Advantages: good battery life, same charger as many nokia phone models, good sound
Disadvantages: a bit heavy, large

...I had been looking for a pair of wireless stereo headphones for a while so I could use them with my mobile phone at the gym, and round the office. Not being tethered to something with a wire is obviously quite important for at the gym! Over the ear Bluetooth stereo headsets seem to be quite hard to find, so when this was on Amazon at a reasonable price, I leapt at the chance. I use this headset with my Nokia mobile phone which is the source of the music... Of course, you don't have to have a Nokia phone, just one that supports Bluetooth wireless headsets! The item arrived with a Nokia standard charger (the new size with the tiny connector), a protective cloth bag for the headphones, the headphones (obviously) and a printed manual. The headphones have various buttons on the right earpiece for controlling the phone - answer a call...

Nokia HS-4W Bluetooth Headset

Advantages: Easy to use and connect
Disadvantages: Other people can hear what you say

...The best thing I found with the headset was how easy it was to connect to my phone (nokia 6230). The clarity whilst having conversations is great and the the way it fits onto my ear was confortable. If you have any problems using it, the manual provided has the answers. The biggest disadvantage of the headset is that other people can hear your conversation. The reason for this is that the headset can be used on your left or right ear, and has a speaker on each side. This is not so bad if you turn the volume setting to low. The headset can be charged using most nokia chargers and doesn't take too long to charge. The headset can also be used with more than one phone. I believe it was a good buy. I bought the headset to use whilst driving, and it does exactly what I expected. I can keep the phone in my pocket and answer any call...

Logi's Ultra-Dynamic Headset 20

Advantages: Stylish, modern design. Good quality mic and audio. Very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy.

...Logitech have, over the years built themselves a reputation for providing low price but high standard hardware. Namely speakers, microphones, headphones and mice among many others pieces of kit. One of their newer products is a headset. Its rather bland name being "Headset 20" , don't let this deter you however, as Logitech's Headset 20 is quite possibly the finest sound/mic combo you can buy for under 30 pounds. Read on to find out why. Intro I came across the new headset while browsing for christmas gifts earlier this month. I'd pretty much decided on what to buy everyone, with the exception of my cousin. Now, my cousin is probably even more of a computer nerd than myself, I'd remembered he'd mentioned lacking a decent headset to go with his new creative labs soundcard. And so began the hunt for a decent headset for under...

Review of Logitech Stereo USB Headset 20 Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...- wired * Recommended Use: PC multimedia, videoconferencing system, conference IP phone * Headphones Type: Headphones - binaural * Headphones Form Factor: Semi-open * Connectivity Technology: Wired * Sound Output Mode: Stereo * Response Bandwidth: 20 - 20000 Hz * Microphone: Boom * Microphone Operation Mode: Mono * Sensitivity: -38 dBV/Pascal *Cable Length 3.94 ft. *Weight: 118 g Verdict Logitech Dialog 812 Headset is a great device. The rubberized headband is soft and comfortable with a double-band that keeps it from slipping from my head. I love the earpieces that deliver high-quality sound output. My 2-year-old kid tore the foam fittings but it didn't actually affect the sound output though the loss of foam fittings made the earpieces slip from my ears sometimes. It is comfortable to wear this headset though it...

Review of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset

Does what it says on the tin!

Advantages: Good value for money, effective, good sound quality, comfortable
Disadvantages: Perhaps somewhat flimsy; but nothing much to report

...The Labtec® 242 is an affordable, yet extremely effective headset. My Experience For computer novices like myself it's easy to use, lightweight (but not flimsy), comfortable and efficient. Buying (inexpensive) headsets is a tricky business; many are delicate and frail, susceptible to background noise or cramped and uncomfortable. Not this one - not in my experience, at least. Positives Foamed headphones and an adjustable headband mean you'll barely notice it, which, in my experience, is a good thing. You get good stereo output; only a bad thing when you miss being called for dinner or the phone ringing! I use it for everything from PC games and watching films to playing music and Skype conversations: it's extremely useful and adaptable to whatever you need it to do. On the box in which it comes there...

Review of Labtec Stereo 242 Headset

logical buy for my needs

Advantages: Cheap, Stylish, good sound
Disadvantages: little bulky for carrying around

...are after ultra high qualty headphones, I would suggest looking at bose and the likes. The headphones perform well giving good clarity of sound, I listen to all types of music fromm classical to heavy rock , and have played all types through theese headphones and not been disappointed with the sound. The headphones will play music at a good volume before the sound becomes distorted, and the stereo sound is of a high quality. The response bandwidth is supposed to be 20-20000 Hz The microhone again records well, my main use has been with voice recognition in office appications, and it works exceptionally well with this, after the intitial set up and training it has performed faultlesly, allowing me to plough through assignments for college. Robustness, again the headset has performed exceptionally well, it is nearly 12 months old...

Review of Logitech Premium Stereo Headset Headset

Pain in the ear

Advantages: Good sound quality, decent mike, easy to use, good looking
Disadvantages: Extended use leaves your ears in immense pain

...As a Logitech fan I was very hopeful when I first got hold of this headset. Features The Logitech headset has a number of good features. These include a microphone so the headset can be used for phone conversations over Skype or to record voice. The cord is very long as well (about 2 meters) so you should have no problems plugging it in and moving around. It also has a volume control and mute switch to allow external control. This saves you having to adjust this digitally which is also very welcome. Sound The Logitech headset is aimed at the budget end of the market and if you are a sound connoisseur you will be wanted to look at a more expensive headset. However, the sound quality of the headset is good. Both the base and treble sound solid and it doesn't struggle in either range. Playing music or watching movies...

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

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)

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Advantages: Long Lasting, Small
Disadvantages: Must Be Charged

...Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset This Xbox 360 wireless headset is definitely a long lasting microphone, which is quite durable. One thing which I like about this headset is that its much more comfortable to wear compared to the original Xbox 360 Headset. Another advantage about this headset is that its wireless so you don't need to bother with any wires. The only disadvantage about this product is that it has to be charged. The battery life for this wireless Headset is about 8 hours and it takes about 3 hours to charge fully. You can use this wireless headset to listen and talk to your friend on Xbox Live. I paid £35 for my wireless headset and it was well worth the money. I recommend this product to all potential buyers....
