Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing.
I bought these headphones because they are recommended by MacSpeech for use with their Dictate speech recognition software (well, this is actually the successor to the one they recommend. Amazon apparently ships this one in place of the Audio 400)

First off, the build quality on these headphones is rather poor. I can't see the headband staying intact for more than a few months and looks like it might snap at any minute just by putting them on my head. The foam ear pads are flimsy and ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good but bulky
This is a great product that functions as advertised. I use them with Skype primarily, although they work great as headphones as well. The sound quality is good and those who I speak with through Skype have told me I sound great - just like I was on a normal land line.

My complaints -
1. The wire is way too long; I had not considered this factor when purchasing. Because I use this exclusively on my laptop, I only need about 3 feet of wire at the most, but the wire is probably ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - works great for skype
I bought this for talking with skype, and it works like a charm. I've worn it for about two hours comfortably. I need to restart skype if I want to switch from the internal microphone to the headset in the middle of a conversation, that is very minor inconvenience. I use it with my iBook and connect with USB. It folds up nicely too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - You are number one - Amazon.com.....with me!
Well Amazon.com
To me and a lot of others you are the bomb

Each time (a lot) I have ordered something from you
With flying colors you always come through

You have not sent me items late, so I can't whine
Matter of fact you're usually ahead of time

My ordering from other sites have come and gone
And, for now and aways I'm with you Amazon!

So, proudly I write this review
And say a great big huge thumbs up to you

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love these!
I've had these for a few months now. I've been told that it's better to store the headphones on a hook, rather than in a drawer, so I hang them up on the chair in front of my computer. My son uses them too and I love how easily they adjust to our very different size heads (his is so big that usually he can't find headphones that fit!).
I use Dragon 9 (a speech to text technology) and I went from store to store trying to find a cheap headphone that would work better than the ones that came with ... Read More
