Logitech Premium USB Headset 350

I first purchased my 350 headset in 2006. It's now 2012, and still going strong!I originally bought one to serve as a headset for online gaming and it worked like a charm. Playing shoot-em-up's I could now hear people coming from behind me and my scores skyrocketed. In another game, split-second decisions frequently had me mashing my keyboard with no time to communicate with friends playing at the same time. With the 350 headset, all I had to do was hold down a button on my mouse and I could talk all I wanted.In 2007, Skype and other VOIP applications made significant headway into consumer space, so I found myself doubling its use for crystal-clear calls through my desktop.As I grew older and stopped playing online games on my computer and computers started to come with built-in webcams and microphones, I stopped using the headset as frequently, but if I ever needed to talk to someone on Skype while I was in a library, for example, I always reached for the 350.Here we are in 2012, and the headset still works. Whenever I need to talk to someone in private, or I'm having a Google + hangout and don't want to disturb the people around me, I'm set because of the 350. I never thought something would last this long! It still functions perfectly, it's as comfortable as it was on day one (perhaps even more so now!), and the microphone still picks up my speech fine.I'm sure you'll lose some style points now for not having the latest Bluetooth earpiece, and you might risk the look of a telemarker whenever you whip this out, but trust in the fact that it'll never fail you, even six years on.

I've used this headset for over 3 years now. There are plenty of good things about it, but also plenty of bad things depending on the user. Overall it makes this headset average at best in my opinion.** THE GOOD- The quality of the headset is fairly good. 3 years of heavy gaming use and it is still operating good as new. In fact the headset itself looks fairly new as well. The padded ear cushions are still as fluff and soft as out of the box.- The microphone is located on the RIGHT side and produces a fairly good quality signal- Plug-n-Play works great! Not one problem on Windows XP SP2/SP3 or Vista- Audio quality of the speakers are fairly good. Audio comes out crystal clear and reproduction is pretty decent quality nearly equal to that of a decent sound card- LED indicator to let you know if you have Power (solid blue) or are Muted (Flashes)- Adjustable headband** THE BAD- While the USB cable is thick and sturdy; the cable leading from the right side to the "soft touch" control is thin. While it works fine it doesn't seem sturdy enough to handle being pulled on or accidentally tugged so handle with care!- Soft touch feature is really SOFT TOUCH. In fact, you might bump against the mute button (which happens to be 90% of the soft-touch button panel) and mute yourself without even realizing it. A simple 'beep' notifying you a button had been pressed would of been nice.** THE UGLY- If you wear glasses (like myself) you might have a small problem. While the earmuffs themselves are fairly comfortable they do fit "snug". This can cause them to press your ears into the branches of your glasses and lead to headaches or just discomfort....To remedy this problem you can either slip a cotton ball between your branch and ear. Depending on your glasses, lift the branch slightly so it isn't behind the ear. OR wear the headset loose instead of securing it to your head. (leave some play in the adjustment)** OVERALL perhaps 3 years ago this was a good headset to own. It is a simple headset which does its job well, and outside of my concerns with the thin connecting cable from the "soft touch" to the earpiece, the headset is built to last. The audio quality is decent and the speaker quality is exceptional for the price. I do not regret my purchase one bit (back in 2007). HOWEVER, this is 2011 and there are better alternatives on the market now; especially for someone with glasses and multiple gaming systemsWith that in mind... I recommend the X11 (for PC/MAC/360 owners) or the P11 (for PC/MAC/PS3 owners) Both products are by Turtle Beach and are in the same ballpark $-wise... If you want to splurge get a 21 series line. (better audio drivers)

Look the concept of this product is perfect. I bought it brand new plugged it in and it worked perfect. I play several online games with my headset so that I dont distract others and wake up my child. Im a huge Logitech fan, I own their wireless laser mouse, previous headset, keyboard, and gamepad. I thought this would be a great investment. Boy was I wrong. To the people saying this headset is comfortable my head must be an odd shape because it feels like knives stabbing my head and ears after 10min on. I couldnt believe this actually made it out of research and development. I tried it for several days in a row hoping I hadnt wasted my money. I even stretched it out by placing it around my PC so it wouldnt press as hard like another commented. I tried to make this product work but it wouldnt.PROS------Worked wellCONS------Couldnt stand to wear it for more than 10min.CONCLUSION------Buy the Logitech Internet Chat Headset that goes around the back of your head for about $15. Its what I had previously and what I bought again and you will be much happier and not trying to sell it back on here.
