Plantronics .Audio 350 Halo 2 Noise Cancelling Stereo PC Gaming Headset

I've had these for a few months now. They are the best inexpensive headset I've owned. I love the long length of the cord and volume adjustment. Sounds are fair. Mic picks up clean. If you want studio Quality for$10, you got issues. People complain about breaking theirs easily. I'll tell you this. If you are rough with your things, sure they'll break. I generally take care of my things. ei. don't toss them around. Don't test,bend the rigidness of the damn thang. If it ain't broke, don't brake it. Plain and simple. Take care of your things people.

I currently have a set of these I bought sometime ago. I am still using them and they are the best headsets I have had to date. I bought 3 more. One as a backup for my original set and 2 for friends. (Pros) Excellant headset with great sound quality. Whether doing voice over IP during gaming or just listening to music these headphones work great. (Cons)None that I have found yet. The set I am currently using is 2 years old and still out performing anything else I have tried.

I purchased this head set about a month back and was truely amazed by the quality of the output....I was not happy initially that the product was advertised as a nise cancellation headset but was not to be. But I am pretty much happy about the headset that costed abt 10 bucks...I found it a bit bulky tough....but overall its good...

I bought this one for skype chat. This one is quite cheap and good value for your money. But the microphone stick is not good and it comes down every now and then. It looks like this is going to break in some time. The headphones are giving good sound but little too heavy. Overall it is an average product.

These headphones have awesome sound but the fit is wrong for the human head. The angle of the earpads makes them dig into the side of your head. Most headphones correctly assume that the sides of a human head are flat, these assume the head is round. But for $10, I'm willing to compromise for the great sound quality. The mic has a good position, folds out of the way and has good sound. The adjustment mechanism is curious, when not wearing the headphones, the adjuster is slack so the earpieces fall to their longest extension, when being worn, the adjuster is tight and the earpieces stay in place. Overall these are big silly looking headphones that don't quite fit right but they have great audio.

Sound quality is good, bass is not all that great, ofcourse cannot match an in ear design, doesn't fit all that well on large ears, leading to air spaces being created and loss in the bass. Midranges are awesome, nice for gaming and team talk. treble and high ranges again are good. wouldnt do justice to music but is great for gaming, cannot be worn for rather long times, keeps slipping

Seeing that it was a Halo 2 edition headset with the xbox 360 look of a headset I went into the buy thinking it was an xbox headset. Should have read further into it, I know, and I understand my mistake. Other than that little detail, for 10 bucks it was a great buy! The microphone dangles and that's a downer yet overall for the price, it's a great buy.

They are a good price. Such a good price that after the cord broke on the first one, I spent another $10 for another pair. The cord broke in the same fashion 2 weeks later. There is no real strain relief between the headphones and the volume adustment box, and it takes very little force to rip the cord out of it. Only solder and 28 gauge wires keep it together. But for $10, they are a good deal. I would not be so happy if I had to pay $25 for them, however. Repairable with a GOOD soldering iron (almost like doing SMD repairs, however).

Great basic headphone set. Picked them up for the other Team Fortress II fanatic in our house. Comfortable fit and entirely acceptable sound quality. The microphone seems to work as well as more expensive set that I have been using. And the cord is long enough to reach from the back of the computer (on the lowest shelf of the desk) and still allow comfortable seating/movement. All that for 10 bucks!

Long cord, light weight, stylish design. Very comfortable on the ears. The sound is good and it's very good value for money.

I bought this because it cost $10 with free shipping and I had trouble using my microphone with RosettaStone. First it works well for my main purpose. There are very few repeats despite the fan running in the back. Second, there is an inline volume control and microphone mute. Lastly, the microphone tucks away nicely. On the other side the volume is somewhat lacking and it is ill suited for listening to music. All to be expected from a cheap headset but the original list was $50. One note is that I have a very large head and it fits with room to spare; although, it seems to bow out and the cups are not as snug as I would like. The headgear is entirely plastic.

For 10 bucks, this is a terrific value for a headset. The speakers are decent with okay bass and highs, and microphone is clear on the other end. It does get your ears on the warmer side. I have a small head, about 7 1/4 hat size, and fits fine. The only downside is the cheap plastic. The Microphone boom (green part) broke off just by me taking it out of the packaging. I just glued it to a fixed position, since there is a Mute button attached anyways.

Purchased to use with Skype. They are just as ugly as their picture, perhaps more so, but they do work as advertised--sound is good and fit is reasonably comfortable--even over large heads. Cord is very long--on the order of 8 ft. Have not owned long, and they do look and feel flimsy. I'll be treating them gently.

my height adjustor broke when I got it...but still usable...and the sound quality is satisfying.

I am surprised at the negative reviews. This is a headset for gaming at home, not jogging or running around. I found the headphone comfortable and the sound quality good. Use it for Skype with excellent results. Also used for listening to mp3. Nothing is broken on the set I received and nothing has broken yet.

Very good sound for ten bucks. As others have mentioned, height adjustment is very sloppy, likely to be non-existent after some use.

Bought for my children for on-line video playing. Working well until, unfortunately, screw fell out of one of the headsets after 2 weeks and doesn't quite work as well now as the ear piece keeps falling off.

I was blown off when I heard music with it for the first time. And to think I got it for just $9.99 blows everything away.This is a steal! Buy.com is freaking AWSUM !!!

This headphone has a good sound quality but overall build quality is poor. Also the boom for microphone is very loose and always comes down, kind of annoying. I would suggest buying a logitech headphone for $13 which is much lighter and robust construction.

This is a nice headset for the price. Good sound quality and fairly comfortable to wear. Great deal even if you just want to listen to your music player BUT they are not Bose quality! Buyers should realize it is for the XBox, not the XBox 360 and it is not a wireless headset. A good sounding headset for $10 is definitely a good bargain.

I feel like I'm going to break it in half every time I put it on, and take it off. Other than that, very nice sound quality, they're light (obviously because it's made from cheap plastic), and pretty comfortable on my ears. I haven't tested the microphone, but depending on when (not if) it will break, will decide if paying $10 was worth it.

You get what you pay for... sometimes. I've had these about 3 weeks. They perform relatively well, but durability is severely lacking. The cheap plastic height adjustors have broken on both sides of mine, meaning that they fall down below my ears every time I move my head. Get these if you need a cheap replacement while you look for a decent headset, but don't expect them to last long.
