My last headphones, JVC HA-RX700's, were godly in terms of sound quality and how comfortable they were, but alas they were not long for this world.After a brief funeral ceremony in the backyard I began my search for new headphones, and considering I've never had a decent pair of headphones last more than a couple of years(I have crappy ones from ten years ago that still somehow work fine) I decided to go more on the lower end of the headphone quality spectrum.After reading a good number of reviews I was a bit wary about the quality and design of these headphones, but the price was right and just from looking at the picture they look like they're designed fairly well. To my surprise not only do these headphones not hurt my head, but I can wear them for hours at a time no problem, unlike my JVC headphones which would eventually get to hot and make my ears hurt. In regards to how comfortable these headphones are they actually beat my old headphones. Sound is another story; the bass is severely lacking and the sound just isn't as crisp with a bit of static if the volume is up. My old headphones didn't have a microphone, instead I used a Samson condenser mic, which isn't a fair comparison to a pair of $30 headphones with a mic, obviously the condenser mic is better.I can say that compared to the quality of other headsets I've had that did have mics this one doesn't quite seem like the quality is as good, but it's not too bad really.The headphone cups are quite bulky giving a nice amount of room, meaning pressure is distributed nicely over my ears which is good for long use, but at the same time the material is lightweight so they don't fatigue your neck after long use. Which is one of my biggest worries/complains, the plastic feels extremely cheap and I don't know that this headset will last. The headset is very bulky, but the plastic seems to be hollow with very thin walls.The cord on the headset looks as though it will get nasty kinks or indentions in it if wrapped up, and the two 3.5mm connectors for the sound and mic are very thin at the end, to the point where I can see easily breaking them if I yanked them out to hard. On the cord about a foot down from the headset is a somewhat useful volume dial, a shirt clip I will never use, and a mic toggle I will never use.Overall I'm very happy with these headphones for the price, but only time will tell if I'll stay that way.

Pros:The sound quality is amazing! I can't think of a better way to describe them.Cons:The mic doesn't have a noise canceling built in so it will pick up any sound from your house even when you have it at the lowest setting, your friends might complain about all the background noise that is coming from your mic. Unless you keep the mic on mute.The mic only comes down on one side, if you look at the picture that's the exact side it comes down to. So for those of you that have the PCs on the right side of your desk you might wanna start moving your tower to the left before this headset arrives in the mail, unless you don't care about the cable being on your way.The ear cups... Why couldn't they just make them round? If you want your ears to fit you're gonna have to wear them slightly at an angle unless you have small ears.Little extra info:All the controls Volume, Bass Boost and Mute are on the same side as the mic around the ear cup.Overall:I can't tell you how much I love this headset, I can't give it 5 starts because of the mic and the shape of the ear cups but overall this is an amazing product that you are very likely to be satisfied by if you are planing on upgrading your old headset or just wanted a good headset for a cheap price, this is the way to go.

If you're looking for a mid range headset, that isn't wireless, you have found the best their is, for the price that's offered. I have used these for less than 10 hours as I'm typing this so my review will be fresh and concise.This comes with a cd installation for drivers. I recommend against using it. I tried using it the first time and the program was unresponsive. Instead, go to Plantronics website, and look for the latest drivers for this headset. I believe that's what helped it work after restarting my computer twice to get the damn thing to make sound.The comfort is incredible. It's like having two satin cushions gripped to each ear. I could wear this out in the winter cold and feel great. The cord is so far so good. It's fairly long, I did not need to completely untangle it. It doesn't seem to coil easily which is good. The mic is nice and clear but be warned, if you try to mic test you may not hear yourself, at least I can't.If you can't afford a wireless headset, but you want to upgrade from your desktop mic, or old plastic headset this is definitely a great buy, thanks Plantronics.

I've heard mixed reviews on this headset. Some people don't like the surround sound and sure, it takes some getting used to because it's simulating surround sound -- not actually creating a multi-point speaker system.I've been using this to play games, watch youtube movies and even product reviews here on Amazon.I have nothing but great things to say about them. I'm not a sound expert but the surround sounds is surprisingly effective. I use them with surround sound with games like Battlefield 3 and you can tell the orientation of the sound. For example, if the sound is suppose to be behind you to the left, you can tell enough in this headset to orientate your character.I think for the price, these are excellent.Are there better headsets out there than this? I'm sure but nothing even close +$20 in this price range. When I say better, think a $200 pair!I currently have them plugged in to a USB hub because I goofed on the computer I build -- I got a motherboard that doesn't have matching headers for the USB on the case. Nevertheless, the headset works fine plugged in to the powered USB hub.

The Headset is very comfortable, as the earcups fit completely over my ears and cause no ear pain. If you have very large ears, you might not have the same experience as me. There is also a nice thick foam-like pad under the head-piece which feels quite nice. The sound is fantastic, although I can take or leave the synthetic dolby surround. That's just me, you may love it. The mic sounds great, or so my fellow game players tell me, because I am unable to monitor the mic output. If I click on "listen to this device" in "microphone properties", I get a horrible delay (like 0.5 seconds) which is so distracting I'm unable to talk. This may be a Windows issue, I'm not really sure, but in game play it makes no difference to me whether I can hear myself over the microphone. As I said, the folks I'm playing with tell me the mic sounds very good and my words are easily understandible. Again, if you have Windows 7 you will probably have to turn off the microphone monitor and just trust that your words are being heard. I went back and forth with the Microsoft people and the Plantronics people, and we we're unable to solve this issue. The mic lag occurs in all my audio programs with this headset. IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN WINDOWS 7 PLEASE RESPOND TO MY POST. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.The headset can't be beat for listening to movies or music, and is probably the equal to more expensive headphones. Although the headset has several plastic components, it seems pretty rugged, and the USB wire is a very thick gauge.

I purchased this to replace a set of real 5.1 (not software\virtual) Turtle Beach headphones that I had to keep repairing until they broke for good. I do not have lots of cash money, so I did not feel comfortable spending $100+ for a set of gaming headphones. As you can see from the four stars I gave it, after two weeks of ownership, I am happy with my decision!The Good:Looks and feels WAY more sturdy than my last set of surround sound headphones.Sound is crisp, clear, and allows you to hear cues you would never hear on normal stereo headsets.More comfortable than my last set.Inexpensive! Here on Amazon, I got it for an amazingly low price! I do not have to eat ramen for a week to make up for a huge purchase!The Not-So-Good:Not quite as comfortable as I would prefer. This is a very minor gripe, as I tend to play for very long chunks at a time (squeezed in between work, family, boring grown-up stuff, etc), so when I do play, it tends to be for yadda yadda yadda hours at a time. I am embarrassed to say how long, as you may judge me to be anti-social....With that said, I reckon that it may be a blessing in disguise that my ear lobes start to feel a minor amount of stress after about five hours or so.The microphone seems to be just merely okay. You cannot adjust it to make it closer or farther away from your mouth, which is slightly annoying. I prefer having my mic REALLY close to my mouth so I can turn it down a bit so it picks up less background noise. This one seems like it picks up more ambient noise than my last set.Another issue is that even though it is virtual 7.1, the sound is not quite as distinct as my Turtle Beach 5.1. Also, there is no way to adjust the levels, so you cannot have more bass if you desire.Conclusion: I could not give this set 5 stars simply from the fact that you cannot adjust the sound levels, but I would have to say that I would purchase this thing again because of the excellent price, the crisp sound, and the sturdy design!

This headset is a great sounding headset with many features including great surround sound-like features. It tends to be a great set for team chats and generally comfortable, but after a long time of usage, it does cause some headaches.That being said, the headset can be a pain when working with anything other than windows 7 (or probably earlier). I found that the driver for this headset can cause windows 8 to crash every once in a while and disconnect and reconnect. On a mac, it is way too loud to use and generally distorts even on the lowest volume. (I even learned the keyboard shortcut for doing volume in 4ths to try to get a lesser volume). I haven't tried this headset on Linux, however the dependency on the driver for surround sound would mean that surround wouldn't be available on anything other than windows.Pros:-good sounding with drivers-on board volume control and mute-comfort at firstCons:-headaches with long usage-usb only-disconnecting loops in windows 8-problems with os's other than windows 7--too loud on mac--crashes on windows 8--lack of driver support on Linux or mac

I bought these with the requirements of comfortable extended wear (8-10 hours) clear voice communication in a call center environment and the ability to use for games on my days off. These fail in all categories. First they are NOT comfortable for extended wear. They have a plastic head band making stretching these things to fit correctly impossible without damage to the plastic headband. The surround sound is fun to play with, but it does not compare to a proper dolby headphone surround sound. The sounds are muted compared to my HD7's. The sound leak is awful and distracting unless you have the volume turned up high to drowned out your environment. If these were semi-open or open headphones, then okay, but they are closed back headphones. There is no excuse to have that much noise leak. The padding feels nice, but squishes so much that my ears were painfully pressed against the drivers making wear more than two hours uncomfortable. Also the mic picks up every wind from your breath, turning your head, fan, and kills the guy on the other end if you touch it to adjust it. I had the sensitivity turned down to 10 in the sound options. No it does not noise cancel at all. If someone speaks within 20 feet the mic picks up the whole conversation. Annoying and not good. Do not buy this headset, it is not worth even trying at this price. Maybe $30 or $20. For $60 buy some HD7's and glue a cheap mic to it.I am rating this 2 stars in hopes more people will read my review, but honestly unless you want something that you are only going to wear for about a hour at a time, sound quality is not a concern, and your environment is quite with no moving air, stay away.

I bought these headsets because I needed a Plantronics headset for work. I work from home and the company that i work with wanted me to have a Plantronics headset. It didn't have to be a USB headset. I was not trying to spend money on another USB headset when I already own a really nice Logitech USB headset. I ended up just using the Logitech headset instead because the Audio 355 just wasn't strong enough in a virtual desk environment. I wouldn't recommend using this headset with software such as a VMware Player. I'm running Windows 8 on a brand new Dell Desktop but in the VMware Player, I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise. This headset doesn't work well in the player but on the host side (Windows 8) it seems to work a little better. The sound coming through the headset is extremely low. I'm technically savvy so I know that there isn't an issue with my computer plus it's brand new. I also noticed that these headsets have poor sound quality when using them with any Adobe Connect rooms. I'm always having to run the Audio Wizard. I'm definitely going to stick with my Logitech headsets for now on.

I purchased this to replace my Logitech G35 that after a couple of years use snapped unexpectedly. This headset compared favorably on paper and it was less expensive, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I returned it before the end of the night, because I could not get it to stop making snapping and popping noises, even with the latest drivers. It was very disappointing.I had no such problems with the G35. Also, the fabric used in the headphones was itchy, so it was not comfortable to wear for a long time.If had worked, it would have been a nice headset: unlike the G35, it does not feel like it would snap off any cheap plastic due to normal use. However, the cord is a little short and wimpy compared to the G35, so you may need an extension to get to the back of your desktop computer. It is a lot lighter than the G35, which is good, but it may be a bit small for some heads.I did not test the microphone, since it did not perform its other basic function of producing noise-free sound to my ears.

My best friend bought me these for Christmas after about a year of me being reluctant to upgrade from the built in mic in my laptop. I use these for a lot of casual gaming and skype calls. I'll highlight the few cons they have, and then talk about the pros.Cons:-Very slight discomfort after extended use-When you turn on surround sound in a skype, mumble, etc. call it sounds echoy-the padding gets kinda lintyPros:-Very comfortable-fits all head sizes-Great sound-surround sound works great (I've been using it for League of Legends, Far Cry 3, Gmod, Etc.)-Best at price point-Better than most above the price-very reliable-music and movies sound great-All in all great headsetBuy this headset.**IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWS 8**to install the surround sound drivers, you need to run the install program on the disc in windows 7 compatibility mode.plantronics has yet to release a windows 8 driverI use them on windows 8 though and they work fine. The install is a tiny bit inconvenient(~15 minutes), but after the install they work like a charm

I purchased these headphones because I was looking for a set that would have fairly good sound quality and a good microphone. I already own a very good set of headphones that did not have a mic so I didn't want to spend too much.The Plantronics are a pretty solid set of headphones for the price, and the microphone is very clear. I use these mainly with c3 which is a voice chat program designed for use with games (Guild Wars 2 int his example). The cord on the headphones is USB, and I saw some various complaints in some of the reviews about this, and about issues with the software. I am using Windows 7 64bit, and upon plugging these in the drivers downloaded and everything worked. They work seamlessly with c3 and with all of my games. The microphone is very clear, and the sound is great quality. The cord is a little shorter then it could be, but it is long enough to plug into the front usb port of my desktop on the floor. The plastic does feel a little cheap, but they seem to be solid and are fairly comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time. Also of note, there were a few reviews with people saying these weren't comfortable on medium sized heads. I dont know what they are talking about, they arent quite as comfortable as my sennheisers, but they are plenty comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Overall I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking to spend under 60 dollars on a decent set. That being said, if I didnt already own a set of very nice headphones, I probably would have gone for the gaming headsets sennheiser has on offer.PROSEasy setupGood Sound QualityExcellent Mic QualityComfortableconvenient controls on the left ear cupCONScable is USB and could be a little longerplastic is a little cheap feeling

I purchased the headset a few months back and use quite often... Thought I will just mention my thoughts thru Pros and Cons :PROS:1. Great to turn the TV down when husband needs a hearing aide and denies that fact... Meaning, if he has on level 44, I put this on and gets volume down to a comfortable level for my ears by drowning out some of the volume...2. I can listen to music/videos on laptop...3. Wonderful sound quality...4. Has a little area for volume control/mute on the cord.. Love this feature :) ...5. When listening to music/videos, I DO NOT have a problem hearing sounds in surrounding area... Meaning regular car sounds, etc.6. Great product, worth every penny....CONS:1. I have to plug in the correct one into a specific hole on laptop or else I have NO sound... Don't quite understand that one..2. It hurts the area above my ears just a bit... Can't quite figure that one out yet..I did not give 5 stars because of the tiny uncomfortability above my ears....

I bought the gamecom because they came highly recommended to record some LPs. The sound quality is great, some headphone's might get better sound but I don't think you will find a headset with higher quality. The 7.1 is sort of a gimmick but regardless the "surround sound" adds quite a bit to both games and movies as well as music (I listened to a FLAC rip of a Queen, it was absolutely mind blowing after listening to it on my laptop speakers).The Mic is a little sensitive, it will pick up your fan if its blowing at you from across the room, but in the proper recording environment it will pick up your voice great, it is very clear, and you don't have to speak up.As for quality I managed to break mine, one of the ear pieces snapped off but a little bit (a lot) of duct tape fixed it because the product it self as a whole still works. Don't let this deceive you, they fell off my bunk bed at college and in my mess while looking for them I accidentally stepped on them. I do believe plantronics will replace them for free if I ship them back, but I am being lazy. I've been traveling with them a lot and eventually the plastic around the cord broke, but the cord it self still works. If you have a stationary machine, this will not be a problem for you.

I bought these simply because I needed a headset for Skype and wanted some that I could use for gaming and give my fiancee peace while I play games. After some searching these had the nice price/performance/review combo I liked. First off they're well made and are a bit bulky, though still light. The sound quality is good, though there's no real driver feature for them in Windows and any configuration is done through the Windows Sound Control Panel, which isn't a negative for me. More or less these present themselves to Windows as a generic 7.1 surround audio device, Windows sends it the encoded sound and the software in the headphones themselves do the rest. The surround effect is bizarre if only because they're coming from headphones as opposed to a bunch of speakers. The effect works, though the separation isn't all that strong.It uses an algorithm to figure out how to fool your brain into thinking the sound from things in front or rear are actually there by shifting the pitch, exact timing of how different sound channels reaches the ear, etc. Of course that means the strength of the effect is different for different people due to the shape of their ears, ear canal, hearing loss, etc. and while the Windows control panel allows some tweaking it doesn't allow the level of tweaking it might need.Overall a good purchase and it makes games come to life. For Skype they're overkill and my only complaint is after a few hours they crush my ears, though I have a large head so your mileage my vary.

I used the same Sennheiser headset I got for $80 for 8 years. My cat hopped on my lap and happened to bite through the cord. After trying to splice and re-solder it I just couldn't get it to work without problems.I then was recommend the 780 and saw positive reviews for the 780. Being impressed with it's price I ordered right away. The sound has been good, but I get a popping/crackle sound here and there especially in VOIP. My biggest disappointment is the noise cancellation for the mic. No matter what I've tried, I cannot get rid of a hiss which makes it hard to have an open mic for streaming/recording.The durability seems great. Having a single USB connection, onboard volume and mute switches are nice. It fits too tightly on my head and becomes uncomfortable for long time use. It's also primarily for when sitting upright as laying down in any fashion to watch something gets difficult.For casual use it will be sufficient, for frequent and long duration, though, I'm not so sure.

The headset arrived impressively packaged. There was a discrepancy in the instructions as the written instructions said to plug the headset in followed by driver install, but the USB plug had a warning to do it in the other order. I installed the software and then plugged in the device (as is standard practice for USB devices in my experience). I used a front tower USB port so the cord length was not an issue, however, if you plan to use a back panel USB port you will likely need a USB extension. This cord would not be described "long".The headset appears to be of quality construction and composed of quality materials. The mic is sturdy and the cord hardy. There was no "shirt rubbing" feedback from the braided cord asI have experienced in other headphones. The controls are located on the left headphone itself. I think I would prefer at least the the mic mute on the actual cord so it is more easily accessible, but this is not a big issue.I am no audiophile but the 7.1 sound (while gaming) seemed somewhat impressive. I am not sure if I am getting true 7.1 or just simulated. I have no complaints on the richness of the sound at all. The mic sounds great and works well with voice activation. The headset claims to be noise cancelling, I am not sure about that, I was a bit surprised how well I could hear room noise with them on considering the size of the cans and the "noise cancellation". I am taking off a half star for that.The other half-star demerit comes from the comfort standpoint. As others have reported the actual can size is a touch small, my ears (standard size ears, I think) are slightly too large for the cups. Not by much and it doesn't really bother me, but it is noticeable. Finally they are a bit tight (I wear a 7 1/8 fitted cap so a medium head). After a couple hours they start to annoy you a bit. There is no severe discomfort, but it enough so that if there is break in the action you are compelled to remove them for a bit.Overall I am satisfied or even pleased. At this price point I would think these would be hard to beat.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the high frequencies on these are too loud and harsh? Also, be aware, as others have said, the ear cups are sort of square shaped and not oval as you might expect. This is fine for me because my ears are small enough to fit inside, but for others, I can see this might be a problem. The cord is a little annoying (thin but stiff) but not a deal breaker.The software needs an EQ. If I can't get the high end adjusted down, I might not be able to continue using these. It's that sharp and loud for me. Still need to dig into Windows sound adjustments to see if I can get this fixed.The headset hurt my head for about the first hour or so of use, then they felt much better, and are so light, I hardly notice. My ears don't get too hot, even after 3+ hours straight.Likes: Light weight, controls are easy to adjust once you get used to them, price is great, they look nice.Dislikes: Harsh loud high end sounds, ear cups might not be big enough (square vs. oval) for some people.

Macs require USB-powered headsets. Mine broke so I thought I'd upgrade to a more solid design. Enter the GameCon 780.First of all, I already knew going in the software wouldn't work. I don't really require surround sound. What they don't tell you is that, while the headset does function, it is not at all usable. The reason for this is the alarming sound levels. My guess (Plantronics tech support was unable to confirm this) is that Mac USB jacks are amplified.Even with the sound at the bare minimum (holding option-shift and lowering the volume on the keyboard to 1/4 of one bar) I have to turn down sound levels for things like youtube videos. Everything is just way too loud.I've used other "Windows-only" headsets and they work flawlessly with my Mac. I think that true plug-and-play headsets would be fine. To me, this is not plug-and-play because it requires the software drivers to function nominally. I wish I had considered this before purchasing.If you're on a PC, this headset should be just fine for most things. I like the sturdy design, and the price point is attractive. But if you're on a Mac, look elsewhere.

Good set of headphones for PC communications. I use it with VOIP for my phone calls and I use it for listening to music. Both are fine.The headphone is comfortable and fits well. It is also adjustable. It can feel a bit heavy compared to a lighter set that just rests on the ears, but this set is designed to wrap around your ears to eliminate a lot of outside noise.The one ding is the set up and actual use of the physical controls. I find that somehow I keep putting the phone set on either mute or the off setting, and I have to figure out if it's Windows that's not playing sound correctly or that the controls on the headset have again turned the thing off. (The controls are located in such a position that it is extremely easy to accidentally adjust them when you pick them up from your desk.) As there is (as far as I know) no onscreen control panel to show you the current state of the headset and its controls, you have to fumble around with the controls on the headset to figure out if you've done something wrong.

A few things I wanted to share...First, the software Plantronics provides from their website and the included CD is not Windows 8 ready. To get it to execute you can right click it and choose properties, then set it to Windows 7 compatibility mode to get it to install. Without this installation you will not get the dolby surround sound and these will be reduced to a great set of stereo cans.Second is that the sound is milky smooth for this price point. They have a very solid bottom end, and a full midrange. On most headphones when you're listening to music you can discern a clear difference between when the crossovers are switching from the low end hardware to the top end. These have an almost flat response completely through the range of bass to treble.The net effect of great surround sound and a very flat response is that it's very easy to get sucked in on games. With these on you can easily get lost in the jungles of Crysis or alien worlds of Borderlands. You hear the rustle of footsteps behind you, and can easily determine direction solely from audio cues. It's a totally different and superior experience from playing with stereo speakers or headset, and definitely worth the mid-range price.

Excellent headset. I am not going to rehash the excellent reviews that this product has already received. Instead I will focus on some limitations I have come across:1. Avoid using with older computers - I am using this on an a 5 year old Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz Cpu (T7400) Alienware laptop with a 3GB RAM/128 GB SSD, and I often get a salt and pepper noise added to any sound. Happens most often when watching netflix/hulu/you tube videos. Rarely with Spotify. The same does not happen when plugged to my faster desktop machine, so it appears to be performance related.2. The driver installation package crashes when launching the installer on Windows 2008 R2 (X64) server. I know this device is not officially supported on that OS, but for the rare few of us running home theater systems on a free academic license of the server OS, you are out of luck. You can manually install the drivers by launching the installer, which will expand the drivers under a Plantronics folder under Program files (x86) (and keep the crash message window open), and use device manager to point to the folder to update the drivers. I was able to get 7.1 surrounding working this way (otherwise you will only get stereo sound with the default windows drivers), but without the package installed, you can't enable Dolby.

So I am a casual gamer, but I game with my friends and we voice chat while we play. I previously owned a Logitech G330 headset, which was about $30 six months or so ago. After owning it for a while, I found it to be uncomfortable, and started shopping for a new headset.I read the reviews on this headset, and they are absolutely correct. Basically, here's the short and sweet:pros:* Excellent sound quality, surround sound is super awesome. This headset has changed the way I listen to music.* Comfortable, although I've never owned a headset that's over-the-ear, and it's taken a bit of getting used to. Not worth taking a star off for.* everythingCons:* The mic doesn't cancel background noise as well as my previous headset, my friends have told me.* SLIGHTLY uncomfortable, but I wear this headset about 4-6 hours/day, listening to music, studying, and gaming. After 6 hours, it's just slightly uncomfortable. I almost just deleted this con because it's slight, but I think you should know about it before you buy it.Seriously, I got this headset for $60, and it's amazing. I feel like it should be valued at $150 for the quality. I also really like the retro squarish look of the thing.Basically, my brothers-- buy this headset. When I bought it, there were no "OMG TERRIBLE" reviews, because it's simply an amazing headset. I looked at some other $100, $120 headsets, and many had a few reviews that called the headset garbage. Not the Gamecom 780, bro. If you're thinking about it, unless it's financially irresponsible, buy it.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this headset because I'm just not a huge fan of the brand, to be frank. Let me assure you that you should go ahead and buy this right now! I'm a pretty serious gamer and these are a complete revelation for me. I had no idea headsets could be this good.It was probably a week before I actually used the little application that comes with the headset. There is a setting for music and a setting for games/movies; the default is music which is not what you want unless you really want to listen to music. There is also a check box for using Dolby that the manufacturer claims will make it sound like Dolby 7.1 surround. Boy, does it deliver and I cannot be more emphatic about this fact! You really have to hear it to believe it!Youtube videos, Netflix shows, games, you name it, it sounds amazing! I bought this headset based on the price, the microphone feature, and it looked comfortable. After using it for the past two weeks, I can recommend this headset based on the sound quality, the comfort during prolonged wear, locating the buttons on the headset proper instead of using an inline dongle, the solid build quality that you can feel, and the attractive design. I'm really impressed and I'm thinking about buying another one or two just to have on hand in case they go out of production. They are really that good. Plantronics has really come a long way from its days bundling its formerly-cheap products with any and every OEM PC builder. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future models.
