I was skeptical when I bought a pair of these. My requirements were for a USB headset with microphone and I had intended on a wired one, but I didn't like the look of the wired ones and instead discovered the H600. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but I took the gamble.The headset is very compact and comes with a teeny-tiny transceiver, which I am scared of losing. However, this is where I discovered features that are not listed on the box - a small cut-out in the left ear-cup allows the transceiver to safely clip in when not in use. This is useful as I have a laptop with only two USB ports, so I cannot 'plug and forget' the receiver. Also not listed on the box is how the device folds.I was very pleased to find this out, and the device soon becomes very compact. It's lightweight and ideal to slip into a laptop bag for travelling. I took mine to America with me and didn't even notice it in the bag. It survived the trip unharmed and is quite well made.Sound quality is good, but not great. The proprietary wireless technology is perfectly fine for voice, but you'll notice a quality dropout when playing music. This is definitely a chatting headset, not a music or heavy gaming one. Treble and bass are both lacking, although it's fine for casual use. I haven't really tested out the noise-cancelling aspect of the microphone but suffice to say, the message gets across. The microphone is well designed and is nearly invisible when stowed. It's not a microphone you speak into or at, but one designed to catch natural speech. I use it mostly with Rosetta Stone and occasional Skype and it is certainly up to the task.What startled me most was the range. It's definitely as advertised from such a tiny transceiver! What's more, I've been able to walk away from my computer in a house with thick stone walls and still hear audio with no significant drop in quality, not to the same range as line-of-sight, but it's a very powerful signal for such a small setup. Battery life is also excellent; I reckon six hours of total wireless freedom is about right. It warns you in plenty of time to charge it, and does not lose quality until right before the battery dies. It charges from micro-USB, like a smartphone, so you only need one charger. It takes a few hours to charge from the mains.The ear-cups sit on your ears as opposed to over, which some people may not find comfortable, but I have used these for many hours without issue. They're not uncomfortable, but equally not as comfortable as over-ear designs.The controls are welcome, but basic. You get system volume up and down, microphone mute and power. I really wish there were proper media controls like play/pause and track skip, or quick system mute at a pinch, for when I'm listening to music while doing something away from the computer, but given that this headset is designed for speech, I guess I shouldn't complain.I have successfully used this headset on Windows 7, Ubuntu and Arch Linux and Mac OS 10.6. On all OSes, it works out of the box without drivers and the OS automatically switches to it as a USB Audio Device when plugged in. All features work flawlessly. There is a minor connection delay when the transceiver is plugged in and the headset is switched on. If the device loses connection due to range, it has to be nudged to reconnect, but this is a minor issue.Other possible downsides: it's very limited, as it only works with its supplied USB transceiver and not over Bluetooth or cable, although it can be used while charging. I do not believe I have a large head, but I have to use the headband near its maximum size for a comfortable fit. The battery does not appear to be user-replaceable, so even if it is possible, at the end of the battery lifespan you will probably have to void the warranty to replace it. The transceiver is very small and easy to lose; get in the habit of stowing it in the headset or leave it firmly connected to the computer. For the price, a travel case would be a nice addition, too.I can't give it five stars due to sound quality issues and lack of extra controls, but this really is a great value headset for chat and speech. It's a lot to write about a headset but I have been very impressed with it!

Before I purchased this headset, I had a history of having broken numerous headsets due to the cords ripping out or backing over the cords accidentally with my rolling desk chair. This would sometimes lead to the headset falling or being backed over by my chair. I wanted a headset that would just work, without having to worry about cords becoming entangled in my tiny office-- there was a very small area where my chair and the cords needed to share space.I had not realised how much of a lifestyle benefit this headset would provide. I can now talk on Skype, listen to a lecture, or enjoy dancing to my music, even when I have to get up to go to the kitchen or walk around the house.This makes phone calls from my Mac far more enjoyable and makes me feel less trapped when on a call. I can get water, make food, or even relocate to the sofa without ending or pausing a call.Pros:-Comfort: Although one reviewer did not find these comfortable, they are the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. I have previously experienced blunt force trauma to my head, so i am very sensitive about which headsets I can wear for more than a few minutes. The head and ears are nicely padded, and the headset sits snugly but not tightly on my head. Unlike my noise-cancelling headphones (not a headset), this headset does not hurt my head after an hour of use.-Portability: While packing for a recent trip, I discovered that this headset folds up neatly. It was very convenient to store it in my carry-on bag on a recent international flight.-Sound quality: The sound quality is excellent. I get the full-bodied sound without difficulty.-Bluetooth/wireless capability: The headset works wirelessly, which makes it much more convenient and more accident-proof than USB plug-in headsets. There is a wireless USB chip that can be installed, but the headset seems to work equally well without the chip on my Mac.-Convenient, on-ear controls: I love being able to adjust the volume, mute the call, fast forward/rewind, and switch between devices just by pressing the ear. (You cannot see the on-ear controls while wearing the headset, but I found it easy to remember the locations of the buttons.)-Mic: The mic appears sturdy and folds away neatly. Unlike many headset mice, this one is small and unobtrusive, with excellent sound quality.Cons:-No carrying case: It would have been helpful if this headset had come with a carrying case. For this price, I would have expected a basic accessory like that.-I cannot get this headset to work with my iPhone, which was one of the reasons I bought it. Perhaps I am just missing some technical detail.-Sometimes, the headset needs to be re-synched with my Mac, so the sound will be muted for one or two seconds after I press play on a new show. This problem seems to have diminished with frequency of use, so I'm not sure why it was happening or whether it will continue to be a problem.Overall, I recommend this headset. I have used it consistently for over a month. It seems sturdy and travels well.

I bought this Logitech cordless headset to replace my corded version from the same manufacturer. The corded version served me well for a number of years, but I got a little tired of being tethered to my PC (and of the cord tangling incessantly).I wanted to roam free whilst on those long, boring Skype calls; to be able to stand by my window and watch herds of Wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain. And you know what, this headset was the answer – excepting the sweeping herds of Wildebeest, which are now far sparser in the West Midlands greater conurbation than they used to be. Over-hunted, probably.Anyway, you’re probably more interested in the boring technical stuff:Whilst I very much like the freedom that the Logitech headset gives me,

I have always used Logitech and again not disappointed at all, fantastic!Bought these to be available in addition to my wired logitech headset. These wireless h800 sound exactly the same, my voice sounds exactly the same and the comfort is every bit as good even for those very long 3+ hour calls .They fit really nicely and sit on your ears with a very comfortable and breathable sponge padding on both ears. The head band extends along way so even the biggest heads should find a nice fit. Top head band has probably the comfiest sponge padding to sit atop your head and you tube reviews suggest years and years of build quality from this particular section.

I bought this headset because I was fed up with the wires and limited range of my current set. They arrived in fast time and were easy to unpack, I immediately put the charger cable in place and began charging the headset before using them.When I first plugged the micro transceiver in place I was a bit disappointed because I could hear nothing. It takes a couple of seconds to connect to the pc and for the software to be installed but when I heard the initialisation beep I was in for a great surprise.The sound from the H600 is not Albert Hall Symphonic but it is perfect for the use that I purchased them. When used on Skype to contact my partner in the Philippines I have been amazed at the clear lifelike sound that I have enjoyed.

Extremely pleased with this purchase. I was originally pointed in their direction by the Nuance website which scored them top marks for accuracy with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software. They're quite right as this headset works extremely well and even better than the old, and also recommended, desktop microphone I was using previously. The accuracy is amazing. I also use the headset on and off throughout my working day with Lync. The ability to get up and walk around while speaking to colleagues on that is very pleasing and I have found that the range seems to be pretty much as stated i.e. about 30 feet. Again, excellent for talking on Skype at home leaving you free to wander around the house.

A exceptional item. A wonderful affordable price with high quality attributes.Other wireless headsets (bluetooth or nano) seem to be bulky and very expensive. So this relatively small folding headset (with Microphone) is an ideal choice.The design is smart, if you travel with your headset there is a discrete slot for the USB nano plug and the folding aspect makes them a lot more manageable. They charge off a micro USB cable, so if like me you take a mains charge with micro USB end for your phone you can charge these from the same cable.Battery life is agreeable. Certainly not too short but users always want battery life a little longer.

I've had these for 3 years and they've worked perfectly throughout. Very convenient to toggle between wireless USB and Bluetooth, something which very few headsets seem to offer.They've been carried to work and back in a rucksack on a daily basis and have survived unscathed for all that time. I use them for hours-long work calls using wireless USB, phone calls over Bluetooth and listening to music/watching videos on my iPad - all work perfectly. They last for ages on a single charge and even if they did run out of charge you can plug them in and carry on using them (which isn't true of all headsets/headphones).Only 2 slight downsides I can think of. Firstly, they do get a little warm when I wear them for long periods,

I got fed up of my wired headset and I really wanted something I could use on my computer or tablet. Bought this because of the dual connectivity - bluetooth and digital. The digital (with a usb adapter) works great on the computer, I'm a casual game player and music listener so I don't need the highest quality, still I was very happy with the sound quality.Also listen to music or watch video on my tablet/phone and this is done via bluetooth. I heard that you lose some quality over bluetooth, but to be honest I didnt notice much difference. Also skype from tablet worked very nicely.Connecting was a doddle, but did have to refer to the manual to pair a 2nd bluetooth device. Controls work well,

So I was after a pair of headphones that, bizarrely, let me hear more from outside - I have been spooked a couple of times by being tapped on the shoulder because I didn't hear someone coming! I have a pair of G933 Artemis Spectrum headphones, and although they are great, they can get too hot and heavy so I wanted to try something lighter. I went for these after long deliberation/browsing and I am very pleased with them - they are very light, last for a full 6 hours and produce decent sound. I was worried going for foam padded headphones but the pads are very durable and easily replaced should I need to (lots if them available from a variety of places.) The microphone that flips up is very clear (according to my gaming friends!)

What's good?The audio quality is perfect for telephony, and perfectly adequate for casual music listening.The setup (Win 7x32 in my case) was... a non-effort. Just plug in the dongle, wait a minute (the first time around only), and you're good to go.Range is up to several meters easily - I didn't measure, but I'll happily wander into the garden for a smoke while on a conference call.Excellent portability, they fold into a tiny package. I love that the dongle can be stored plugged in to the headset.Not so good?The audio response is almost all mid-range with little punch to the bass and the high end tends to fall away quickly. Audiophiles would be better off with a high-quality wired,

I don't have 'Bluetooth' and purchased these headphones solely for use with my Laptop computer and they work nicely. The switch on the right ear side has two settings from the Off position to Bluetooth and the second or furthest for computer. A small USB stick that comes with the headphones needs to be plugged-in to the computer (I have a USB Spliitter, like an extension lead, with 4 slots and it works fine left in one of these).They took a few hours at least to charge fully via the USB cable provided, but now I use when watching a YouTube video or playing music without the lead (you can leave the lead in while listening if the charge is running low). All I have to remember is to switch them off when not using,

Great headset, Its so light I once walked out the house with it still on till I noticed a guy at the bus stop giving me a weird look and then noticed I could see the mic still... lolonly problem is its range is not that great, I got a usb extension cable for like £2 and have the little wireless plug thing cable tired to the top of my monitor.It makes awful noise to those on a call if your got out of a strong signal range though they only sound broken up to you.Despite a couple things that wont affect everyone I would say get this, its great.I use it for Skype and playing music while I am walking around the house.

Have had this headset for a while 2-3 yeares (hmm come to think of it - think I bought it in a local store, not through amazon - so just sharing my experience)Use it for business (ie calls on Skype/phone) and occasional gaming, agree with many of the more positive reviews. Sofar it's the best headset I've had for work purposes.Pros:> Nice/easy tactile control buttons (ie mute, sound up/down etc)> Foldability / portability (fit's nicely into a laptop bag)> The microphone is foldable too> 7-10 meters of distance from the laptop with the little USB receive (I find it shorter with the bluetooth)> Able to charge it whilst using it via micro-usb cable> Fair-to-good battery time (the battery,

It's a very good headset, comfortable and relatively good sound quality. It worked like a charm - plugged in the dongle, turned on the headset and it worked.With MAC and bluetooth is has some problems, but all headsets have. Maybe it's something related to OSX Lion, but when microphone is turned on, the sound quality gets terrible. It's the 3rd headset i buy to use with skype and none of them works with my MAC. All work with windows however, they also work with my phone, so problem is related to OSX Lion, but I didn't have time to check all possible options, nor any support (Logitech or Jabra) is aware of any solution to this problem.For it's size however i expected better sound.
