Plantronics GameCom Open-Ear Gaming Headset with Full Range Stereo - GAMECOM 377 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a gamer. I depend on this headset for every game I play, on all of my desktops. It has a pretty sturdy design, a good quality microphone, and GREAT speakers. The headset is super comfortable, even though I have a big head. It works on Vista 32 and 64 bit computers, and works with all the games i've tried including Teamfortress 2, World of Warcraft, Heroes of Newerth (beta), just to name a few. BUY THIS HEADSET it wont let you down. I can feel the quality of the headset every time i pick it up.

Only complaint: the microphone is a *little* bit weak (I have to boost the microphone input in most of my games), but is still good for the price!

Philips SHM3100/37 Earbud Multimedia Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a set of these from a local big box retailer for use as a travel headset. While effective in this regard, the size and shape of the earphones cause my ears to hurt several minutes after insertion making extended use of these nearly impossible. While the perfect size and price for travel, it is the severe discomfort that these cause that has now prompted me to find a replacement pair.

Using these as headphones was pleasurable, excluding the pain. Sound quality was good -- certainly better than the laptop speakers which were the alternative. Voice quality as picked up from the microphone was dependant on a number of factors, however. The microphone is a pendant which when worn rests about six inches below your neck. As a result, it is largely dependant on sound being reflected to pick anything up. Present it with an open environment like a large room and little sound will be reflected rendering the microphone largely useless.

Overall, this headset is passable for short term use but should be avoided as a dedicated headset.

Pros:
Small
Cheap
Decent earphone sound quality

Cons:
Painful to wear
Microphone (pendant) can get turned around easily causing transmitted voice to be muffled
Microphone's ability to pick up voice highly dependant on environment

Plantronics DSP-500 Digitally-Enhanced USB Gaming/Multimedia Stereo Headset and Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)3.21.04: First off, I will say that I am an on-line gamer and prefer the best when it comes to my electronics. I purchased the Plantronics 500 headset in March of 2003 and I'm now looking for a replacement. About a month ago, the audio from the left ear of the unit started to go in and out. I decided to dismantle the unit tonight after the left side finally quit on me and I found two places where the very thin wiring has almost completely frayed apart in the actual housing of the unit and where it connects into the headset itself. The sound and microphone on these is VERY good but I am disappointed that just after a year of pampering that they have given out (sorry, only a one year warranty on non-commercial items from Plantronics - which these are).

I also had a few small complaints about the inability to switch back to my computer speakers easily, or that the cord can really get in the way at times due to its long length.This may be good for some applications but the cord will stretch for a good 5 feet, alot more than I needed.They are very comfortable though and even after all night gaming, they still felt decent, unless I had my glasses on and then they can really start to hurt after an hour or two.In conclusion, if they would have lasted me at least another year, I would have rated them 4 or maybe even 5 stars but after only one year of use, I have them falling to 3 stars.

10.25.04:Well, I am back to buy another DSP-500 headset.I went through two different sets since I last purchased these and they do not compare to the sound quality of the DSP-500.I would have to give these an excellent rating when it comes to the sound/microphone/ease of use/etc... they just need to work on how long they last but I have been told by friends that I use them ALOT so an average user will easily get more time out of them than I did.A year for me was pretty good from what my friends say... so I am revising my review to give them "5 stars".This is an excellent headset and easily outperforms others in the $50 range.

11.21.05:Well, it's been over a year now and my second set is doing GREAT!I think I've learned to be a little more careful with my headsets now (or maybe playing BF2 has me more relaxed - hehe).I even have a couple of friends using this headset and they love it too.I tried another "new" set that came out at BB a couple of months back and found them nowhere near the quality of these.I still recommend these, especially since they are still selling for less than 50 bucks.Amazing... the best product I have ever purchased off Amazon.

Auvio Pearl Buds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got these to replace my SkullCandy earbuds that finally went out after a few years of every day, nearly nonstop use.Let me tell you, these Auvio things aren't worth the time.While the comfort is fine and they're very straight forward in terms of design, the sound quality is like an old telephone handset's speaker.They apparently are designed for "enhanced bass" and if that's the case, I'd really hate to hear this company's version of non-enhanced bass.The bass is nearly non-existent, and the sound overall is _incredibly_ tin-like and thin.I didn't change any treble or bass settings on my laptop or iPod from my other headphones before disconnecting my SkullCandy headphones and testing these, but the difference was clear, apparent and (to those who love their music to sound good) painful.To get the same sound volume from these Auvio earbuds, I had to turn the volume on my iPod up to nearly maximum, and turn my computer volume up to a level that, on the SkullCandy earbuds, would have been dangerously loud.

These are highly not-recommended.

Monster 123872-00 iSplitter Shared Headphone Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I acquired one of these to share music with my companion on a recent trip, and it worked perfectly. The Monster splitter connects to the MP3 player's regular headphone jack, and two male headphone connectors go on the split ends. It fits any standard headphone jack and doesn't affect sound quality at all -- this still depends on how good the MP3 player and the headphones are. What I particularly like about the Monster is that it has independent volume controls for each headphone, a little dial set flush to each side of the splitter. Otherwise, we'd have a problem: since I like my music louder than my partner, splitting the sound and not the relationship is the way to go!

Panasonic RP-HS11 Water-Resistant Lightweight Sport-Clip Headphones with Washable Pads (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First thing: My ears despise earbuds. Whenever I've tried any pair of earbuds, they immediately fall out once I start walking. My cheap pair of clip headphones worked much better, but whenever I ran, the foam earpads would start coming apart. Not to mention that foam gets quite hot when you're running...

Seeing that this product has removable rubber earpads, I was naturally intrigued. Once I tried them running, I was hooked. They stay on my ears! You do have to twist the clip toward the back of your ear to get it to fit right, but once they're there, they're not coming off. What's also great is that they're superlight, and come with a small clip on the cord so you won't be hitting any extra cord length as you work out. The cord length overall works well for me, since I wear my mp3 player on my upper arm. I can't really speak for the toughness of this product, since I keep my mp3 player and these headphones in a small bag so it doesn't get tangled up with everything else I have in my gym bag.

The sound is pretty adequate, not anything spectacular. But hey, if you wanted really great sound, you'd probably either spend a lot more money or not listen to music while working out. (The gym is not a good place to truly appreciate the nuances in music, really...) I'm just happy that I've found something light, hardy, and secure!
