There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I ordered this but was a little apprehensive at first as my wife did some research and found that the price I paid for was much higher than what Amazon used to sell it for. In addition, this model is a couple of years old. However, whatever reservation I had vanished when the headset arrived.
First of all, the mic quality is exceptional. During video conferencing, it sounds way above the rest who were using other mics. If you are looking for a headset with a fantastic mic, get this one. This is its best attribute. The headset uses a USB connection rather than a 3.5mm jack. So it is limited to laptops and devices that has a USB port.
Audio quality was also excellent. While obviously not as good as a $300 headset I owned in the past, the audio quality is still very good. I really enjoyed listening to music using this headset. Volume is also good.
Overall, this is a very good headset and very good value for what you are paying. As mentioned earlier, I paid more for this headset than what it used to sell on Amazon but I still think that it is worth every cent and a steal for the quality and what I am getting. The selling point for this headset is the mic quality, so if you do a lot of video conferencing or dialog, this will come in handy.
Love this product.
The audio quality is very good--once you get the mic positioned optimally and make a few adjustments to your sound card settings (I'm still using XP on my work computer). This is designed as a close mic, so the sound quality drops quite a bit as you get a half-inch or so away from optimal distance. But I'm pleased overall with the way my voice sounds in voice-over types of projects-- clear, distinct, just a tad sibilant when the audio gets compressed in some applications.
The headband is cheap plastic, and uncomfortable, but with some stretching and positioning slightly in front of my ears, rather than directly on them, I soon forget I'm wearing a headset once I get started on a project. I don't use the headphones at all--they didn't sound very good to me, and I really didn't work with them much--I prefer to listen back to what I've recorded through my studio speakers. But I bought this for the mic quality and convenience of having a headset as opposed to a boom mic, which I was using previously.
I'll probably switch back and forth between using this and the Blue Yeti USB mic when it arrives. (Review soon.)
I can't comment on longevity, as I've only had this a few days, but I've already logged quite a few hours. Overall, the sound quality is pretty much what I expected after reading reviews.
The good:
Sound is good. Mic is apparently good and very clear- as reported by other callers and meeting attendees. Sound is perfectly adequate for voice calls, not going to wow you for music or other content, but speech ineligibility is quite good. It's light and compact, fairly comfy.
The bad:
The cable is thin, cheap, and absolutely refuses to unkink from unwrapping from the factory packaging. It's a horrible wrinkled mess, and super annoying. The similarly priced Logitech headset I bought this to replace has a much nicer cable.
The inline mute/volume has issues. The mute switch is not intuitive, and nearly impossible to read the symbols on it- it's black on black. Unless you're in a brightly lit room, it's impossible to read. There's zero visible indicator whatsoever you're on mute or un-muted. In my home office, I can't even see what position the switch is in, and you can't really even feel for what position the switch is in without feeling it. And is mute down or up? I can't remember. If I don't return it over this, I'll probably add some paint to the switch to indicate red/green for mute. I get that this is the lowest priced USB model EPOS sells, but some simple contrast on the mute switch would make the product SO much more enjoyable to use. The similarly priced Logitech H390 this replaced has a red light indicator for mute on the inline control.
I'm also not a huge fan of the passive volume wheel on the cable. It's way to easy to change the volume unintentionally. The adjustment isn't very linear and is pretty touchy. The Logitech H390 has up/down buttons on the inline control that work better.
Overall compared to the Logitech H390?
This one is a little more comfortable. The foam on-ear pads are gentler, cooler, allow some background noise (which I like, working at home) and overall it doesn't fit as snug as the Logitech, which makes it more comfortable for me. The Logitech has pleather pads that are still on-ear, but block more background noise and because they don't breathe, feel hot after short use. The headband on the Logitech has a little padding to it, this does not. But it's lighter and still fairly comfy. The mic is easier on this to flip up out of the way. The Logitech had a very stiff adjustment which took two hands. Both headsets will only work with the mic on the left side.
Bottom line: Cheap, but mostly good. The biggest flaw is the unintuitive mute switch, the second would be the cord which just won't relax and straighten out. If not for those flaws, it functions great - especially for voice quality.

I was breaking my work Logitech headset packing it back and forth to the office and home. Decided to just pickup this guy so I could extend the life of both.
Audio for meetings is decent and the mic is clear. Nothing fancy they are slim and that's what you want in a video call.
Audio buono, senza pretese ci piazza anche qualche frequenza bassa in modo da poter ascoltare la musica.
Calzano bene, ottima regolazione, non cadono, non fanno sudare, sono leggere e il microfono sta in posizione grazie al meccanismo a scatti.
Queste in versione EPOS USB hanno anche la regolazione del volume e la disattivazione del microfono direttamente sul filo: non immaginavo ma in effetti è comodo, a volte si usa.
Sono economiche e continuerò a prendere questi modelli finché Sennheiser non inizierà a fare come tanti altri che riducono i prodotti di fascia bassa a delle schifezze incollate con la gelatina :-)
