Plantronics .Audio 510 USB Multimedia Headset - 16.99 w/free shipping

[Athena]

I'm looking for a new headset to use to for some recording work and came across these. I'm no audio expert but it seems like a pretty good deal for a USB headset.

Unfortunately, I've decided that I really want wireless so I'm going to pass on it.

I have the plantronics Gamecom headset. While mine are the upgrade to this version, if this is anything like what I have it is WELL worth the price.

I'm in for one thanks OP!

In for two; Thanks. I'm well pleased with a Plantronics USB headset I use at home.

I had this for about 6 months and the mic broke... will I get another....

Did you try a warranty claim for the broken microphone?

Good deal, made even better with free shipping. I've got an older but more higher-end plantronics USB headset that has been extremely good. I bought this one as a backup and/or possible gift.

Has anybody tried the "Sign up for one offer and get $25 off your order!" thing? Would essentially make ordering this a profitable opportunity

I'm trying it out and hoping that the $25 "credit" comes through before the sixth day of the stupid little credit report trial. Will update you guys when I find out.

I have this headset and its great. It does get a little uncomfortable after a couple hours, but that just lets me know that its time to come up for air.

Bought two. Extremely poor packaging, typical of Buy.com it seems. Both package in thin bubble wrap, might as well be paper, and stuffed into a single layer box. Both of mine are undamaged as far as I can tell.

Quality is good for the price. Plastic is cheap, the foam is cheap but the material covering the foam is ok. Because of these main two issues the headphone doesn't fit, rather doesn't adjust at all, nicely when you wear them. That's probably why it get uncomfortable after prolong use.

Cord is long and works in Win7 with hassle Again, not bad for decent price but if you are planning on prolong use, please do yourself a favor and get one that can adjust to your head :/

I got the headset, and I think it's only worth the $17 their asking. It's not really very comfortable, and the sound is horrible. It is nicely balanced, but it has crazy harmonic distortion, to the point where rock or punk gets to be this steady stream of fuzz at higher listening levels. I would say to look somewhere else, and I''ll even give you somewhere else to look to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16826193037

A far better buy, and you'll even save three bucks.

I've had one or two of these and they eventually break. Still decent though.

In for one.

I got two of these, and they both suffer the same defect - they are deafeningly loud at one step above silence. They behave the same on a Mac and a Windows Laptop.
