In the end, throwing a few more bills on the counter usually pays off in the long run. Better functionality and quality, you can probably use that headset for many moons to come...

darned right.

 

Used to have a Logitech headset of about 40 euro's which lasted

7 months and now I'm using a Plantronic headset that has been around for over two years.

That was double the expense of the Logitech though but it

is a lot more comfortable and very sturdy.

The Logitech one just snapped in two and

it couldn't be fixed.

No more Logitech for me, then.

I have 2 headsets, a Plantronics H31 (in ear) and a Logitech over the head.

This replaced a $20 store brand headset and is a huge improvement.

 

I also have a David Clark H10-13.4, but that's for real flying. I'd never hear anything outside of it if I used it on the computer..

I use the Logitech Clear Chat Headset and I love it. Great sound, fits comfortable on my head, and light. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new headset.

I am using an ordinary A4Tech headset here. Been with me since 2008 and still going! It delivers me the same clarity of voice when using online. Except that you can't wear it straight for more than 5 hours. What I usually do is, just leave it on the table, put the output on the speakers, no ear stress.

Previously used the logitech clearchat, and that seems most popular among my freinds.

 

I just lashed out and brought a logitech wireless for AUD$140

Just saw the Logitec go on sale for $89 after mail in rebate. Thought maybe some of you might be interested.

 

Kirk is this the one you have. If so, how do you like it?
