An amazing headset, I’ve had it for only about 2 months now but it’s working perfectly fine!

That’s another awesome headset that you can find for around $40-$45 sometimes at stores. I’ve heard it’s basically the same as my PC155’s except without the USB soundcard.

On the other end of the business you have Plantronics..

The Audio 90 has decent sound but they break EASY and OFTEN. Mine broke within a month.. so I got another pair with the warranty and those broke 2 months later. :mad:
I really don’t like Plantronics but they did sound ok before one ear started going out(same problem with both sets)… and I do not abuse my headsets! I don’t like watching things I pay $40 for break thank you very much. :frowning:
(Read the reviews for some storys about how short of a life they often have)

I would say.. get some Sennheiser’s and spend as much as is in your budget.
You’ll be happy when you plug them in!

Thats awesome thanks! im gonna try the Sennheiser :silly2:

I use a Plantronics Binaural telecoms headset, the type used in call centres. It required some modification to make it work with a PC. It’s a mono headset with twin earphones cos it’s for a telephone.

So that needed fixing, it’s also noise canceling, so that needed to be removed too. Took me about 90 mins to convert it (including waiting for the glue to dry :laugh: ) But now that it’s done, it’s an excelent headset. Bear inmind these things are designed to be worn all day, everyday in a call centre, wheres your typical $10 ‘computer’ headset is simply designed to be cheap.

If you dont want to go down this path tho, then yeah Senn’s are good by reputation but I’ve not personally tested one.
