Great headphones for gaming and speech recognition May 6, 2007

I sit about 4 or 5 feet from a window air conditioner and it takes a really good microphone to filter out that background noise. I originally purchased Icemat Siberia Headset (Black) but the microphone didn't work well for speech recognition. The microphone on this headset works extremely well. Also, the headset is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I am very pleased with Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 9 and this headset. I'm using it right now to write this review, or should I say "talk" this review.

The Icemat USB headset really slowed my computer down while gaming. I am very happy to report that this headset does not or if it does it's not enough to be noticeable.

Okay now for a couple of very minor complaints. Firstly, the headset didn't come with any software, I had to download the software from their website. Which is okay I guess, but as much money as these cost the software should be included. Lastly, the headset is very light weight. That's one reason why you can wear them so long. But they seem a little flimsy. All in all, this is the nicest headset I've ever used.

Uncomfortable? Nonsense! June 19, 2007

This is a great product. Amazing quality and very comfortable for my head (which is of the smaller size). My only complaint is that the volume remote attached to the cord does not effect the Mac version of Skype. This is Skype's fault, as they dont have independent audio controls for the program.

Other than that, this is a great headset and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Skype/gaming headset.

Best headset I've ever owned July 19, 2007
M. Farris (Rochester, NH)
When this baby arrived, I was unsure of it's quality. Much lihghter than the DSP500, and a little smaller. But once I plugged it in, all worries vanished.

This unit has better everything:
Audio output
sound quality
freq response ( very important to me as I am very Hard of hearing)
Wearable all day with no neck pressure.

I would recommend this to everyone!!

Wife loves it for VOIP overseas. She can spend hours on the line now without aches.

Buy it! period.

great listening & microphone September 16, 2007

I am using the 550DSP headset daily. I used the microphone for speech recognition and for Skype calls. It's great! I watch DVDs with the headphones and I am very satisfied. They are comfortable, durable, and the sound quality is excellent.

Pleased with the quality May 28, 2008

I bought this headset to create video courses and for Second Life. I've been pleased at the quality of the mic, especially. I also like the bendable mic, which gives me excellent control over its placement. It's also very comfortable, at least for a couple of hours at a time. Another great feature is that you can use it as a USB headset, or remove the adapter, and plug it into the mic & speaker connectors. For example, I was able to record, while using my speakers, by using only the mic connector. That flexibility was very valuable to me.
