Logitech 981-000068 ClearChat Wireless USB Headset - Black Reviews

The battery life is good. The range is great. I was playing 4-6 hours and it never died.

It probably doesn't put as much pressure on a person with a smaller head. If you are a large person with a hat size around 8 or so, take this into consideration. After about 2 hours my ears started to hurt and I had to keep "taking breaks" form the headset.

The ear cups are small and press against the ear instead of sitting out side it. The CON:. The headset itself works great, the sound quality is fine for voice chat (I only use a headset for vent, normal speakers for everything else).

I will be trying the Creative HS-1200 (also small ear cup but different design) to see if they feel any better. I could go downstairs and out into the garage with now problems (range probably varies based on building, atmosphere, etc).

 

The sound received on my end are however quite good. The person on the other end couldn't hear me well - the complaints are distortion of voice, volume going up and down throughout the conversation. So if you just want a headset to listen to music then it will serve you ok. I had at first high expectations of the product as it has relatively good reviews but I was very disappointed almost immediately when I make calls on skype or yahoo messenger.

 

-Great sound quality. Negatives. It allows you to walk around pockets unencumbered while being hands-free, wire-free, and bi-aural. The sound quality is the same as a landline which is better than a typical cell phone. -No stand.

Everyone says I have a big head and this headset accommodates me with room to spare. The ear pads are cushy. Goes about 30ft through walls so you can walk around a bit. I use Vista and this caused a problem initially but not since. Positives. I don't have a landline so I use this to make calls out (very cheap with Skypeout btw and toll free numbers are free which is nice when you are on hold for 30 minutes with a company). -Decent range. -Doesn't shut off automatically.

Even if you shut it off, the battery will slowly drain so you still need to plug it in every couple weeks or just leave it plugged in. Overall, this is a great computer peripheral. I've had this headset for about 4 months now and use it mainly with Skype to call other Skype members and to call phone numbers with Skypeout. If you forget to turn it off, it'll be dead in a week or so. -Very comfortable. You can use the included USB receiver stand to get the receiver away from computer interference and to place it higher both of which may help increase your range. It would have been nice to have some kind of charging stand so you don't have to lay it flat cluttering your desk or hang it from the monitor where it tends to fall off. If you can't hear the other person or vice versa, go to your Skype Tools-Options-Audio Settings and change speakers and microphone to USB audio device.

You'll find similar setting adjustments in any computer chat program. That little stand that you see in the picture is for the USB receiver, NOT the headset. -May cause your computer to change its default sound settings. I previously used a Plantronics wired headset which was good but this Logitech is much more comfortable and convenient.

 

I'd give this one star, but it did perform well with outputting audio, which is at least part of what it's supposed to do. FYI, I used this with a Mac Book Pro on 10.5. I had been researching wireless headsets for a couple of weeks, and this one by far got the best reviews for the money. My friends said that they could barely understand me while playing online games with them. Although I could hear everything really well, the microphone was terrible. Even just recording a brief 15 second video with my laptop's webcam, the voice went out of sync with the video.

 

This headset works perfectly. The sound is clear and loud. It charges quickly and has a pretty decent range. It will flicker to mute and then back off. Sometimes the mute does not work.

No warning, no beep, nothing. I can be talking on Skype and walk throughout my house, only losing my connection in the basement near the furnace. If it happens during a lull in the sound, you may not notice its dead right away. My only real issues are:. When the battery dies, it dies.

You are just dead.
