  Plug and play. Absolutely no technical knowledge required. Only problem is that it does not fit right around my head.

  Headset is light and comfortable – which is exactly what I wanted. But – it has no volume or mute control.

  I used this with my laptop. It was working well for past week or so, and the sound was decent for skype calls. But just this morning, it said the device is unknown. Plug in/out, and still same error. I’m a device driver developer, so I looked into INF and SYS and all that. But nothing. It seems after enumeration, something breaks in hardware and then it stops working. It “feels” like broken bypass capacitor problem. I was going to try debugging, but it’s not worth my time; I’ve already spent way more time on this piece of garbage than necessary. Unfortunately, all these products are like gambling, hit and miss. The consumer becomes field testers… I’m going to try Plantronix next, but I have my doubts.

  I have win7 and bought these thinking they would be good for computer gaming. Boy was I wrong!

  First of all there are no drivers and no driver support for these. Windows 7 automatically configures your driver (read: you’ll only ever see vanilla drivers). So good luck if you have a problem like I have.

  Secondly the headset shows up as “Speakers” in your sound panel. This may be the main problem, if they were recognized as headphones then maybe they would work as advertised. As a side effect of this most games will think you have a speaker setup.

  Most importantly (for me) when I load up any game the sound is completely backwards. Left is right and right is left … which renders the microphone useless as well since you will be wearing these backwards!

  Overall the experience is completely broken.

  Although the sound quality was good for the price, the headphones broke within a week. Not only did the sound quality degrade, but the microphone is no longer recognized by Windows 7. Although it may be a software problem, I cannot recommend this microphone to anyone in search of a cheap set of headphones. Search elsewhere.
