Exceptional device. I was searching for a bluetooth wireless device. The options that I found were pretty expensive. When I looked at the specs of Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless, I was amazed at the utility of the device at a reasonable price too. I have used the device flawlessly with excellent, crystal-clear reception in all parts of the house including upstairs & out of house in the garden! Amazingly easy 'plug & play'. No software required. Very comfy earphones with adjustable headset. The controls for volume & mute on R headphone are very convenient. Very clever mute function as you can 'see' the red light at microphone tip during conversation hence allowing you to mute/unmute easily. Pretty good talk-time too; never ran out of battery during conversation.
I think it's an ideal hands-free device to use with PC programs like msn messenger, yahoo, all VOIPs etc.
I reccomend this... maybe
-Ignore if your planning to use with a Mac OS-
To be honest this headset is a double edged sword. Easy plug and play, comfortable, simple to use and a decent quality of reception (at least in my environment and I'm using a wireless keyboard and mouse right next to it).
HOWEVER!! *Got you attention? Right* I can only recommend this product to more advanced system users. I has one potential problem in that it uses native XP or Vista drivers instead of coming with its own software. This means that it is treated in many respects, like an external sound card. This means that if you want to switch to your headphones you will have to access your systems sounds settings, change the headphones to the default device and reboot any software currently producing sound and vice versa. With some simple forethought and a shortcut straight to the sounds control panel this isn't much of a problem.
If you didn't understand that or can't be bothered with any of that lark then I can't recommend this headset. This is not the headset for you. Its not that its bad, quite the contrary. You just need to know what your doing to get the most out of it.
Dreadful sound and microphone quality
I own the logitech Premium 350 headset and bought these hoping to free myself from the wires. However the wireless product at 3 times the price sounds utterly dreadful in comparison.
A simple test listening to an Mp3 from media player and you can hear breaks in transmission to the headset.
Playing WoW and using the in-game voice chat the difference in headsets is palpable in the depth and richness of the sound from the USB vrs the distorted shallow sound and microphone quality from the wireless model.
Am following up with Logitech to see if the huge drop in quality is the price of being wireless or if the headset I have received is faulty.
Utterly Disappointed in this product atm.
Update: After speaking with logitech support, it would seem this headset is not very robust in a congested wireless environment. Using the device in a less busy environment I was able to have it operate much fewer breaks in transmission. However, the audio quality issues still remains and I am going to return the product as I do not consider it fit for purpose.
I heartily recommend the Logitech USB models excellent sound from both microphone and headset speakers, but the quality from the wireless model just isn't up to scratch for a headset that is around three times the price.
