Summary: Excellent!
Comment: Excellent sound quality and clarity. I have an ibook and use it with that, and it works great, just plug in and go. Great value for price too! and it fold up nicely for easy travel! Definitely recommend it for all the mac and pc people out there, tired it on a pc too and it works just as great!

Summary: Great Quality for the Price - for any price
Comment: Having gone through 2 other headsets, and returning them both because of either poor fit or poor sound quality, I turned to the ever-reliable Amazon products reviews to aid in my search for a quality headset at a great price. I don't do audio recording or anything like that - my primary uses for the headset are Skype and listening to iTunes. The voice and sound quality are more than adequate for these purposes. In addition, I wear the headset for long periods of time, so comfort is key. The light-weight feel of the headset is great, and the ear pieces cover just enough to drown out excess office noise w/o making me completely unaware of my surroundings. Finally, several reviewers commented on the folding mechanism and size. Yes, they could be more compact once folded, but it does the trick, and they fit just fine in my laptop case. When unfolded, they hold their shape just fine. The only thing that would be of great improvement would be a carrying case. In any case, this is a great purchase for the quality and price.

Summary: Concise review
Comment: I bought these to use with Skype while traveling on the road so I wanted a headset that would fold up into my carry-on. Even folded up, the unit is rather bulky partly because it is bigger than I expected but also because of the 10ft or so of cable that is excessive in length and unruly when wound up.
Aside from that, the sound and speech quality is very good and the mute and volume switches on the cable are actually useful (I originally bought the unit thinking I would never use them). Color coded connectors (pink/green) for speaker/mic would have been a nice touch.

Summary: You can't go wrong with these
Comment: Great sound, light weight, nice long chord and a great price. I could not be happier with these headphones.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent for conferencing and music
Comment: I purchased this headset mainly for use with Skype and TeamSpeak. I tried it for the first time last night and it did not disappoint. The sound quality from the mic was better than I expected when I did a Skype test call. The guys I was chatting with in TeamSpeak said it sounded great.
One pleasant surprise was the audio quality of the headphones. I played some of my music and the bass response was quite acceptable for everyday listening. The headset was truly plug-and-play on my MacBook Pro in both Windows XP Home (using Boot Camp) and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
