Right. First off, i bought this thing, figuring it would work with my G5 iMac.
I was wrong. Or logitech was shamefully lacking in their info for Mac users.
It SAYS it can work with a Mac, but all I got was the headphones to work.
I had to run out, and pick up this Egg looking thing, called iVoice2. It plugs
into your USB slot, and allows you to use ANY PC mic/headset with your
mac. It is $35-$50 (depending on where you buy it).
But, on plus side, after you buy the iVoice2 from Macally, you can use ANY
PC headset with mic you want. :)

Now, on with the headset. This headset is a bit uncomfortable. I like the
behind the ears headsets, but this one is made for big heads, or Large hair.
It has the advantage of not being able to fall off, but it feels loose.
The mic is great. It doesn't reach your mouth. It stops about 2/3rds of the way,
but it does pick up some nice clear sound. I use it for recording voices for
animation and small games I make.
You DO need to turn up the GAIN in your computer, but after that, it's GOLD.
The sound is clear,rich, and not Hissy. i prefer the mic to be closer to the mouth,
because you have to speak up, to get nice levels. If you whisper, you will get
recorded, but you will have to amplify it later in post, and my get some hiss.

All and all, a good product. At the price, you can't do much better.
The long cord is also a plus, when you have people reading from a script, and
don't want them hunched over a table to speak into a desk mic.

Another cool feature, is that the shields on the sides come off, and it comes with
4 colors to place there (black, red, blue, orange), So you know which is yours.

A better mic is the Plantronics DSP-100. It's USB, and has only one head phone,
but it sound beautiful. It also costs $45.
User rating: 1Not reliable.
I bought this to use with my Skype (free internet phone service). I had high expectations and was happy with the low price. This product turned out to be horrible. After a couple months, three problems:
1. Only the right ear of the headset is working now,
2. The little volumn control thing is bad, it does not change volumn smoothly and you have to carefully turn it to some specific place for it to make the right noise.
3. Connection to the computer not good. I have to press down on the connector with my fingers to hear anything.

DO NOT BUY THIS

I am editing this review, because this pair of earphones just completely went broke on me. I am angry!!!!!!!!!!!!
User rating: 5Best headset for your computer
Given the price, the sound quality is very good. It's so clear & rich. You can use it only for internet chat or gaming, but also music listening.

Speaking of comfort, I have worn them for 2 hours and my ears still don't have any sign of fatigue.

I think they are worth the money.
