I didn’t have good audio from my laptop. These work great. I love the mute buttons! I recommend.In the past, when I bought headsets with microphone to use with voice recognition software, they were expensive and not so good. Until my friend recommended this to me, I am pleased to say that this new headset works great and is worth the price.Plug and play, easy to use - It didn’t require any software or drivers to be installed, I literally just plugged the headset into a USB port in my Windows 10 desktop and I found it was ready to use. I then opened up “Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS)” software and started using it straight away. Surprisingly it did pick up my voice very well. And it is comfortable to wear, very light and doesn’t rub. I have been using it for the past few days and I am actually pretty pleased with this headset so far.Again, a very impressive product.-Great for video calls and live webinar-Relatively comfortable even with glasses, especially after a little break-in time-Microphone captures clear voice and cancels out ambient noise well enough for voice chat-Inline mute and volume control on cable-Microphone can go on each side of my head-Under 30 dollars it feels like 50+ dollar headset For my Win 7 computer: When the headset is plugged in, all audio is rerouted to the headset (by default, which is what I want). The volume buttons affect the playback volume in Windows, whereas the mute button mutes the mic on the headset itself. Red light tells you if the mic is muted. For best results, make sure you are hooking it up to a USB 2.0 port or better.Use this headset on my Mac for softphone calls. The sound quality seems to be much better than my old one. The noise cancelling works to reduce background noise. The headset is light and comfortable, I think I can wear it a whole day.I needed a new pair of headphones to use with my laptop for voice recording. These are lightweight and really comfortable to wear. Easy to use, love the in-line control feature. Microphone works well. I'm really pleased with these.Comfort and light headset. Good for short meetings, plug and play, works perfect on my Dell PC. Microphone picks up good, no background noise goes through it.The volume control weight if not clip to your garment makes it uncomfortable especially when moving around; it’s size bulky.
