Customer Reviews

This is going to be a view point from someone who plays a few games, but I don't consider myself an expert gamer (yet). I play 2-3 games (COH, GW and WoW) reguarly. So I still have a lot to learn. I also use Teamspeak while playing.
Fitting/Feel- I bought this headset yesterday, and I returned them today. They felt horrible. Stupid me didnt bother reading the package to know that these are "behind the head". But I figure I might gets used to it... well, I didnt even want to try for a long period of time. My head felt like it was in a vice, but at the same time they felt like they wanted to fall off (and take my ears with it).
Mic- I was picking every sound up in the room except my own voice. Maybe if I learned to throw my voice, this would have been an awsome mic. I tried to adjust the mic for a good hour, and got it to the point that I thought seemed "fair", but it still seemed to pick up background noises (like me clicking the mouse, etc.). Friends also told me this through teamspeak.
Sound Quality- Sound was fair. I adjusted this for quite some time in hopes of making the sound a little better. But its not easy adjusting the sound with your head in a vice while trying to throw your voice. But really... the sound was "okay" but nothing to write home about.
Look- The ear peices are very spiffy looking... they have that "Im a hard core gamer!" look. But you mideswell strap 2 1980's style boombox speakers on your head. They are very large. Not that I care what I look like... heck, if they worked good, I wouldnt care what I looked like.
So what do we have here? We have 2 boombox speakers strapped to your head with a vice grip, while throwing your voice.
I love Logitech, I have their gaming keyboard (with the LCD), their gaming mouse, and I hoped their gaming headset. But I was wrong.
All headsets seem to have a few downfalls... usually its style, comfort, mic and sound. Hmmmm.... lol, I guess what I am trying to say is... I expect it to be good, not GREAT.
Look for other headsets.

Within 5 minutes of opening the box to this poorly constructed headset, the microphone dangled loosely from its housing, the cheap plastic conector having broken. The pads on the earpieces fell off and were very difficult to put back on, frustrating and very annoying to say the least. Returned to the store from which they came the next day. Only wish I could give them a zero rating. My opinion of this, and many other Logitech products,----yech!
