"Not What I Had Expected... >:-["

by Tekaholic on November 8, 2009

Pros: Wireless. Easy to install. Quality craftsmanship.

Cons: Inferior sound quality. Promoted range VERY misleading. Uncomfortable on the ears after a while.
Summary: Nowadays, I live on the computer - listening to music, watching videos, VoIP. I was so excited when I had first heard about this product, almost a year before it was placed on the market. The claims made by Logitech gave the impression that this was the headset of all headsets. When it finally came out, I could not find it locally (I live in The Bahamas), so I had to purchase it online and have it shipped over. Total cost - approximately US$170. As soon as I got home, I ripped the box open and plugged it in. Set-up was a breeze. Plugged it in to watch some online TV. I was disappointed by the sound volume and quality - far less than the wired Coby headphones that came with my portable DVD player. Because I had never used VoIP before, I had nothing to compare this headset to in terms of quality, but it was definitely less than that of my cell phone. However, the biggest shock came when I went to the kitchen to grab a snack. I still had the headset on, and I was not more than 3 ft out of the room before I heard static and breaks in my audio, then some beeps, then nothing. I was not more than 10 ft away from where I was previously. I discovered that what Logitech didn't say, was that the 33 ft they mentioned had to be open space, uninterrupted by walls of ANY thickness or material, and even then I got to only 25 ft. (Accidental omission, perhaps?) I've had my headset for about a year now, and every so often, it has this "staticky" broken noise during play which stops when I hit the set a few times. If I have it on for more than 2 hours, my ears start to hurt - worse if I'm wearing my glasses at the time because the earpieces plaster your ears to your head. All in all, I'm still tethered to my computer - definitely not WORTH the $170 I had paid or even the MRSP of $99.99. Maybe if the MRSP was $50 I wouldn't be complaining so much.
