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
