    I'm a big gamer and music lover, and I use my Logitech Z506 speakers most the time, but I like using a headset too. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, but I'm definitely not deaf and I can tell good quality from bad. This headset has very nice quality. Not top of the line, but definitely great for it's price.

    This headset was uncomfortable for the first few days to a week. After that, it'll feel just fine for you.

    The microphone was great quality. People told me I sounded crystal clear, and little to no background noise.

    Now comes my biggest problem with this headset. I bought it twice, because the first one I had lasted me nearly a year, and then the left ear completely went out. Couldn't hear a thing out of it. I figured I'd treated it with miss care or something of the sort, so I went ahead and bought another one because I really liked it. This one lasted about 6 months, and then the same problem happened. I treated it pretty well, so at this point I knew something was up. I opened it up, and found that the wiring was done horribly on the left side. With the way they did it I wonder how it even lasted a year the first time. I didn't buy it again, because I don't want to spend the money on it every time it breaks (which it will eventually, I can guarantee that).

    Don't let this review scare you though, it was great while it lasted. If you can afford to buy a new one every time it breaks, then this is your headset. Cheap, good sound quality, light weight, and a quality microphone.

    These are perfect if you need a headset occasionally. Great sound quality and decent durability. I wish they came with the adapter to make it compatible with a phone jack. Microphone quality could be a bit better. Other than that...very pleased.

    Comments about Plantronics .Audio 355 Multimedia Headset:

    I ordered these to replace a pair of gaming headsets that were falling apart. The sound quality is decent, didn't expect as much for the price. The only negative is the comfort level as it takes some time for the headsets to get comfortable after long periods of time. Out of the package they are very stiff and will hurt your ears but, after some time they do adjust and are more easily worn for longer periods. Overall it's a solid product especially for the price considering gaming headsets are normally very expensive for the "better" sets.

      Comments about Plantronics .Audio 355 Multimedia Headset:

      I use these headphones everyday now because they are excellent between the comfort of the headphones to the sound quality these are quite the piece of work and also the mic is really well made and from testing it is a pretty decent mic that has quite the sensitivity that was needed especially since the noise-cancelling on the mic actually works and gets very well recognized. One thing that I found a little distracting was the size these are quite big even on me yet they are still comfortable and do rest comfortably on my ears for that same reason. This is a great pair of headphones and completely worth the money if your look for a new headset that does have a mic just be wary of the long cable that it comes with because its quite long and without some manner to keep it tied together for use on per say a laptop it gets cumbersome.

          Use for play by play broadcasting using mi-fi at the ball park. Treat this headset with caring hands just by the looks of the construction. For price, however, I've ordered a backup. This headset, with its mic and phones miniplugs, solves for USB, which can be "hit and miss" with laptops as far as settings go. Can't afford to chance spending time digging into the control panel and such in time sensitive nature of sports broadcasting. With the plugs, old school gives me peace of mind, and not too bad of audio quality.

                I use this primarily as headset for IP phone and to listen to music.For an inexpensive set of headphones, the audio quality is good. Better bass than other headsets I have used.This claims to have noise-cancelling mic, but I find that it injects noise into my IP phone, disrupting conference calls. This did not happen with my old audio 400 DSP (but that is more expensive).

                            Comments about Plantronics .Audio 355 Multimedia Headset:

                            The 355 headphones in my opinion were great value. They work as well as higher priced headphones and i have had no issues with sound quaslity. Only downfall is they are a little bulky. Worth the money though.
