Cyber Acoustics Stereo Headset, headphonewith microphone, great for K12 SchoolClassroom and Education (AC-401)

I've been using these series for quite a few years. The first couple of sets i had were the 201, they lasted for 2 years until my toddler broke them. They can last a really long time if you don't mess them up, but they're so cheap, and such a good quality and high reliability, i can just replace them. I'm on my 4th pair within 8 years, the first 2 pairs got mucked up by my toddler (he broke the head arch where they adjust, but they still work), and the last pair I broke by accident myself. None of them were broken due to poor quality, they are absolutely great.I just love these, I am a gamer with ventrilo/teamspeak and do online conference calls/meetings with them and the mute feature is a life saver. I can mute it easily to cough or yell at my son lol. With proper PC settings, I can have the mic about 2 inches away from my face, and I usually have it hovering above nose level so people can't hear me breath into the mic. I don't need the mic at my mouth. There's a nice distance on the cord too.For these 401s, there has been one time they were uncomfortable on my ears, but it may have been due to prolonged wear (like 6 hours), and a combination of being a little bit ill (which is why it is 3 stars). But they are pretty decent comfort wise.I do listen to music with them, and they don't have super heavy pumping bass like you would get out 12" sub woofers, but the bass is pretty strong, sound quality is awesome!I've had others headsets and these will always be my #1.

Love the headset. Microphone picks up great quality sounds and the ear phones crystal clear sound. Love the fact the mic is flexible around your mouth and lets you adjust it closer or further from your mouth depends on how loud you speak. That was wonderful.Pretty decent to cancel out little bit of outside noise but not enough to mute which I like because I still want to hear whats going on around me.The jacks work perfectly I like the fact it wasn't a USB port so that was brilliant.The ear phones fit perfectly to your ears it's like two pillows on your ears it was a dream when I had it on the first time though after about 2 - 3 hours it would get to be like it didn't have the comfort pads anymore I would have to take it off for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time.Headset adjusts beautifully around your head. Also I would like to add that it is very comfortable.After about 3 and a half months the mic started falling it wouldn't stay up to my mouth. I dabbed a bit of super glue on it and it stayed for another month I just finally got frustrated and pissed off I pulled the mic off.So I ended up buying another one I couldn't resist I loved this product very much.Also after 3 and so months the ear phones started getting a tad static to it and would force me to turn the volume all the way up because they started wearing out just a bit.When you record yourself it's not all too great to me anyways I love high quality recordings. If you're working on a voice over for your cartoons and what not I would recommend something a bit more expensive this is just way too cheap for that kind of stuff.This headset worked brilliantly with skype, windows live messenger, oovoo, gaming, video chats, recording, AIM, FB etc...I know skype though for a fact since I use it all the time. I have used it on every other messenger an it works just as good I know I wouldn't complain much about this product.Also arrived on time took it out of it's package brand new nothing wrong with it just plugged it in went to my sounds didn't take much to set it up just enabled it was all I did. The called someone on skype and they loved how I sounded so much they brought one themselves.Cheap and high quality. Not much to complain about there.

I purchased this headset to use for meetings with a client. I didn't want to spend much since I would be using it infrequently, but I wanted something that wouldn't be a total waste of money, too. This fit the bill on both accounts. It works very well, no complaints whatsoever about sound quality or reliability.Only one minor issue: When I wear the headset for a couple of hours and then take it off, I sometimes have a slight pain in my ear. If I were going to be using it more frequently, I'd probably spring for an over-the-ears model. But I'm not, so I won't.

For the price, I guess I shouldn't expect much. Opened these up and plugged them in. At first, everything seemed to work well, and I was pleased that the mic seemed to pick my voice up good. Speakers were fairly clear, until suddenly they went out. Unfortunately I was in the middle of a call. Messing with the wiring, it seems there is something loose by where the wires connect to the speakers. After messing with it a bit, it started working again. I get some static from it on occasion, but they are to this writing working again.I gave them 3 stars simply because for the price, I didn't expect a studio quality headset. Without the speaker situation, I would have definitely considered 4 stars... the mic works great and the speakers sound decent when they work.Bottom line... you get what you pay for. An in expensive headset, and the quality reflects the price. I don't make may calls, so these will do for me. If you are looking for a cheap headset to only use occasionally, these are for you. Fairly comfortable as well. (I thought of shipping them back.. but it wasn't worth the hassle. They will get the job done for what I need.)

This is the right headphones for the money. They feel good over the ears without blocking out sound in the room (radio or other ppl talking). As i like to walk and talk while on google voice, the cord is a good ten feet, so i'm not stuck to the computer. The shirt clip is small but strong and the in-line volume/mute is within easy reach. The headband is easy to adjust (even for big heads) and the mic can be moved any way you want. And the sound quality is better than my cell phone. The best thing about them is when im jamming at the puter and not on a call, i forget im wearing them and just leave them on.
