Cyber AcousticsUSB Mono AC-840 Headset, Headphone with microphone, Great for Education, Office and Call Centers (AC-840)

This was a worthwhile purchase. I bought it for use at a call center where I was working so I wouldn't have to worry about trying to find a headset everyday.Pros:- Ambidexterity- Clear sound/mic quality (no static, no background hissing)- Noise cancelling- Volume control and mute on/off button- Lapel clip- Good cord length- Incredible price- Multiple options for headsets- Flexible mic positioning- COMFORTABLEHonestly, the only "complaints" I could give are these: it's strictly a USB and the rotation of the mic gets loose after a while. What I mean by those is that the headset couldn't be used for an iPhone or something like that because of the USB, but this sort of headset is usually used at a computer anyway, so that doesn't particularly bother me. Also, where the mic rotates on the headset can start to get loose and fall to the lowest position after a while (sort of like how the bands on cheap sunglasses will become loose instead of firm). However, the flexibility of the mic is such that this isn't even that much of a problem.In essence, this product was EXACTLY as advertised, at least in my experience.I love the pricing on this headset. I am the kind of person who researches for ages before buying a product. I saw many other headsets that only had SOME of the features that this one had, and those headsets were far more expensive. So I appreciated that, as someone who can't afford super-expensive things, I was able to find an excellent quality headset without basically setting my wallet on fire.I also love the mono and stereo options; I bought the monaural headset because I'm deaf in one ear anyway, so there really wasn't a point to me having both headphones. Additionally, I love that even if you get the monaural mic, you still have the option of which ear to wear it on because the mic can rotate. (Many of the more expensive headsets I looked at couldn't even do that!)The sound and mic quality were excellent; there was no background hissing or static. We had to listen to our calls as part of our testing for quality at the call center, and my mic sounded excellent on playback.cAs for the noise cancelling, it is excellent. If anyone has worked at a call center before, then you KNOW how loud it gets! I was able to focus on my calls because I wasn't distracted by outside noises.Also, this headset is COMFORTABLE. I've tried using actual headphones before, and I can only wear them for a few minutes before I have to take them off because they give me a major head-ache and jaw-ache. I'm talking about those huge ones that completely swallow your ears. Yeah, those are awful for me (and one of the major reasons I only use in-ear earbuds). These, on the other hand, are super comfortable, and I can wear these for hours before I get even the slightest tinge of discomfort.Basically, I still use this headset, especially if I'm recording something (like when I'm playing games or something; it actually makes a decent PC gaming headset!) I was at the call center for long hours, using this headset non-stop during work for at least 6 months or more and it's still working like when I first opened it.I love this headset, and I would definitely recommend it.

I needed a USB headset and this had decent reviews for the price, so I gave it a shot. Well, I wouldn't say this quite fits the bill of "you get what you pay for", but sure if close. First the good stuff... It is easy as chewing gum to set up, as in find slot, insert gum, er plug into slot and bam it's working with no additional software needed for my mac. The wire has good length and seems strong and the mute and volume control works great. The mic works just fine too and is easily adjustable.I have wore it for about 2 hours straight being the longest and had no issues of it getting uncomfortable, as long as I had the head set part stretched closest to near the top of my ear as possible(opposite side of speaker ear). I hope that's not too confusing so lets try this too.. When the head wrap end opposite of the speaker was sitting high up on my head, I definitely noticed some discomfort and sometimes a little pain. So I adjusted it and stretched it down to just top of my ear and walla, no more discomfort :)The sound could be better for sure, as I was watching a few things with these testing them out and noticed my 10 dolla headphones sound more clearer than these. But all in all for the price they actually do what I need them to so I'm about actually 3.5 star happy camper.

First off, I use Windows XP SP3.I personally found the microphone to work extremely well. I use it for Skyping with friends while gaming, video commentary, or just whenever. And so far, I have had no complaints from friends about the quality on their end. And it seems to work well when I use it for videos also. From what I have played back, my voice sounds extremely clear.I plugged it in, and immediately Skype recognized it and now, it works like magic each and every time I plug it in.The only issue is that it can be a little tight on the head at first. But the more I wear it, the better it gets (like anything else). Both sides do adjust/extend, the mic bar moves/is flexible and can also be turned either way for lefties or righties.The cord is a bit long, but that's easy enough to stand, especially for the quality that you get for the cheap price.If you're one of those people who cannot figure out why "it is too quiet", use a search engine to find out how to turn up the recording volume for the mic on your system.Overall, I would recommend this mic to anyone looking for a good quality one-eared mic, and not wanting to spend a fortune for quality.

This is a great set of headphones for the office.I bought the single ear (USB Mono), because in the office I need to know what's going on around me.I used it for VOIP calls using Skype, Viber and Google VoiceThe connection is USB digital sound, instantly recognized without having to install drivers or CD'sThe cable has an inline switch, that allows me to increase / decrease the speaker volume, and a mute on/off switch for the microphone, the switch is located about a couple of feet away from the headphones, which makes it easily accessible to my hands.The sound clarity is great; so far everyone that I have talked to using the headphones, have told me that they can hear me clearly without background noises, or distortions.The headphones are light weight, the band is adjustable, and the ear pad is comfortable. The ear pad rest over my ear, without enclosing it. That is something I appreciate, since larger pads that cover the ears have a tendency to feel hot after few minutes of usage.The microphone is flexible and it allows me to move it closer or father away from your mouth, which is a way of adjusting the sound for the listener in the other end.The cable is long; the headphones are plugged in the rear of my PC which is on the floor.The cord has a clip that you may attach to your shirt, for more comfort.

No es tan cómodo

ideal für Call-Center und Menschen unterwegssehr leicht und gute Klangqualität Mikrofonqualität extrem gut sehr leicht Kopfverstellung scheint in der Lage sein, jede Größe passen

for this price, the quality is so good. mic is clear, with mute and volume control. works very well with my WexEx conference call. Now I can free up my hands to type. Love it.

It is a good headset but I am having a harder time with this new one; constantly resetting my sound settings for my PC.The last one I had, I could simply use whatever I wanted like listen to music through my speakers or when turning on my program to use the headset - it worked. Now I have to unplug my headset in order to listen to my PC speakers for music and vice-versa which is time consuming since it needs a reboot for the headset USB. However annoying, it is still a good deal for the price and does work.

Works great, clear mute button and volume control very helpful. Very comfortable nothing I can think of on the negative side
