User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Much better than expected
The construction is good. Comfortable to wear. Takes no effort to install on Mac. No said input problem on my MacBook 1.5.4 so far.

This is my first wireless headphone so the freedom it brings feels GREAT. Being able to talk on Skype with no wire attached is wonderful. The sound quality is also much better than I expected. Pop music and casual listening are very good. Don’t know the battery life yet.

I noticed with the Plantronic USB headphone, iTune automatically go into pause when I dial on Skype. This unit does not do that and I had to turn off iTune manually. Would nice to have that.

1 Star Outbound audio is awful.
I was going to buy these but I’ve been helping a friend debug problems with his – the outbound sound quality is hideous -, it sounds like it’s going through a signal chopper, like talking into a fan. I wouldn’t

go anywhere near these things until logitech addresses these problems. BTW this when used with the USB ports

on the Macbook Pro. I suppose it might work with other machines but really if it doesn’t work with the MBP, the best most wanted laptop out there, that’s pretty dumb.

4 Stars Works great with Vista
It was so simple to set up, and the sound is great! I use with HP and Dell laptops with Vista Home operating systems. Works well with my Naturally Speaking Dragon Speak programs, dvds, and other media programs. Worth the money.

4 Stars Almost perfect
I received mine today. Work just fine with all of the applications I have tested….iTunes, Ventrilo, World of Warcraft, etc. My Vent buddies tell me they sound better than the wired headset I was previously using.

I can get out of range when moving laterally 25 feet or so, but it re-acquires the signal after I move upstairs and get within 20 or so feet line of sight.

Setup was super easy; plug in the dongle, turn on the headset, and DONE.

Very happy with this purchase; Headset is light and comfortable. The boom mic will not interfere with pizza slices or martini glasses.

I only wish the volume/mute controls were on the left side so I wouldn’t have to take my hand off my mouse – lefties rejoice!

Agree with previous comments regarding adjustability for large heads…I wish it had an extra 1/2 inch to expand; hence only 4 stars.

4 Stars Broken on MacOSX 10.5.4
Recording sound wasn’t working with this headset. Every 40 seconds it would garble the sound.

After returning one headset and getting a new one, at Logitech support’s suggestion, I rebooted my MacPro into Windows.

Worked great in Windows, not at all on Mac, on the very same machine.

Conclusion: Broken in 10.5.4 at the very least.

So hold off if you’re on a Mac.
