Great product, with two exceptions

Strengths: Comfortable headset, good sound quality, easy set-up, works as advertised

Weakness: Must be switched "on" after extended period of disuse, boom mic is a bit too close to mouth

I've got two computers at home, and I never know which one I'll be standing in front of when my Skype line rings. So, I needed two headsets. At my desktop, I have a cheapo Skype headset (about 15 bucks) that works just fine. On my notebook, though, I decided to get the ClearChat Wireless Headset. I liked the idea of being untethered from my machine during a phone call, just as I would be if I had a regular landline and a handset.

The headset works great--it's comfortable, call clarity is good, and I didn't have any problems with set-up. I have only two complaints. First, even when the headset is fully charged, even if it is plugged in to the charging cord, even if you leave it in the "on" position, after a while the headset defaults to "off." This means that when a call comes in, you have to switch the headset from on, to off, and then back to on. If you're using Skype, you also have to manually accept the call on your computer. This is a lot of work to do just to receive a call...and more than once the call has rolled over to voicemail before I could pick it up.

My other minor complaint has to do with the boom mic, which sometimes touches my mouth as I'm speaking. There's no way of adjusting it, other than up and down, in which case it touches my cheek and my chin, respectively.

All things considered, I'd give the product a low "A" or a high "B." I doubt you'll find a comparable product out there in the same price range.

I like the headset

Strengths: Provides freedom and is good quality

Weakness: It feels tight. It may I need to get used to it.

Out of the box it is easy to set up. I use a mac and had no trouble. It has pretty good range and gives the appearance of being very durable. Although it is nicely padded it feels tight on the ears after wearing it for a while. It may be I need to stretch it out or get used to it but this is really my only complaint.

at $85-100 is a bit pricey but if you use a soft phone like skype or something like that all day this will probably be pretty nice.

Good range, good quality and overall good product.

I do wish there was an easier way to toggle between using the headset and the computer speakers without having to go into the system preferences every time.

Dont even bother

Strengths: Color customization, on/off switch, volume control.

Weakness: Simply does not work. You can hear yourself talk, but the other person can't. Does NOT work with games. Also comes in non-USB format

This is total garbage. I was totally surprised since my previous Logitech mic worked flawlessly for years. Total time of use: 3 minutes. Don't even bother getting it in the first place.

There are a couple of places where you have to turn the microphone volume up. I had the same issue but discovered that Skype has a setting AND the PC has a setting, each defaulted to MUTE on the microphone.
