I have owned this product for 2 years. I have replace it under warranty twice. The one I have now stopped working also, due to a loose or bad wire for the power to the unit. A lifetime warranty means nothing if you have to keep sending it in at YOUR expense. This has been a repeated problem with each unit that I have owned. They simply stop working. I recommend the Sennheiser wireless head phones that I purchased a year ago that operate on a better wireless system. You can buy them from Amazon. Good luck!

Plantronics DSP-500 Digitally-Enhanced USB Gaming/Multimedia Stereo Headset and Software Review

3.21.04: First off, I will say that I am an on-line gamer and prefer the best when it comes to my electronics. I purchased the Plantronics 500 headset in March of 2003 and I'm now looking for a replacement. About a month ago, the audio from the left ear of the unit started to go in and out. I decided to dismantle the unit tonight after the left side finally quit on me and I found two places where the very thin wiring has almost completely frayed apart in the actual housing of the unit and where it connects into the headset itself. The sound and microphone on these is VERY good but I am disappointed that just after a year of pampering that they have given out (sorry, only a one year warranty on non-commercial items from Plantronics - which these are).

I also had a few small complaints about the inability to switch back to my computer speakers easily, or that the cord can really get in the way at times due to its long length.This may be good for some applications but the cord will stretch for a good 5 feet, alot more than I needed.They are very comfortable though and even after all night gaming, they still felt decent, unless I had my glasses on and then they can really start to hurt after an hour or two.In conclusion, if they would have lasted me at least another year, I would have rated them 4 or maybe even 5 stars but after only one year of use, I have them falling to 3 stars.

10.25.04:Well, I am back to buy another DSP-500 headset.I went through two different sets since I last purchased these and they do not compare to the sound quality of the DSP-500.I would have to give these an excellent rating when it comes to the sound/microphone/ease of use/etc... they just need to work on how long they last but I have been told by friends that I use them ALOT so an average user will easily get more time out of them than I did.A year for me was pretty good from what my friends say... so I am revising my review to give them "5 stars".This is an excellent headset and easily outperforms others in the $50 range.

11.21.05:Well, it's been over a year now and my second set is doing GREAT!I think I've learned to be a little more careful with my headsets now (or maybe playing BF2 has me more relaxed - hehe).I even have a couple of friends using this headset and they love it too.I tried another "new" set that came out at BB a couple of months back and found them nowhere near the quality of these.I still recommend these, especially since they are still selling for less than 50 bucks.Amazing... the best product I have ever purchased off Amazon.

Monster 123872-00 iSplitter Shared Headphone Adapter Review

I acquired one of these to share music with my companion on a recent trip, and it worked perfectly. The Monster splitter connects to the MP3 player's regular headphone jack, and two male headphone connectors go on the split ends. It fits any standard headphone jack and doesn't affect sound quality at all -- this still depends on how good the MP3 player and the headphones are. What I particularly like about the Monster is that it has independent volume controls for each headphone, a little dial set flush to each side of the splitter. Otherwise, we'd have a problem: since I like my music louder than my partner, splitting the sound and not the relationship is the way to go!

Panasonic RP-HS11 Water-Resistant Lightweight Sport-Clip Headphones with Washable Pads (White) Review

Panasonic RP-HS11 Water-Resistant Lightweight Sport-Clip Headphones with Washable Pads
Average Reviews:

First thing: My ears despise earbuds. Whenever I've tried any pair of earbuds, they immediately fall out once I start walking. My cheap pair of clip headphones worked much better, but whenever I ran, the foam earpads would start coming apart. Not to mention that foam gets quite hot when you're running...

Seeing that this product has removable rubber earpads, I was naturally intrigued. Once I tried them running, I was hooked. They stay on my ears! You do have to twist the clip toward the back of your ear to get it to fit right, but once they're there, they're not coming off. What's also great is that they're superlight, and come with a small clip on the cord so you won't be hitting any extra cord length as you work out. The cord length overall works well for me, since I wear my mp3 player on my upper arm. I can't really speak for the toughness of this product, since I keep my mp3 player and these headphones in a small bag so it doesn't get tangled up with everything else I have in my gym bag.

The sound is pretty adequate, not anything spectacular. But hey, if you wanted really great sound, you'd probably either spend a lot more money or not listen to music while working out. (The gym is not a good place to truly appreciate the nuances in music, really...) I'm just happy that I've found something light, hardy, and secure!

The first reason I don't like this item is based on a lack of information.The ad says "compatible with" and lists a number of radios with no specifics.Unfortunately, it is not compatible with all the listed radios, and a little information would have helped, since the radios I bought at the same time were not compatible.Then on arrival, there were no instructions on assembly or installation included with the item. While not rocket science, it might have helped to at least have an illustration of how it should be assembled and installed.
After some use, I've found that the velcro on the PTT switch is not long enough to go around a handlebar grip on a motorcycle.It also fell off the user's finger and ended up against the hot exhaust, and burned up.What a piece of junk!I wouldn't give two cents for this product, if I had it to do over again!

Ultrasone Edition 8 S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound Professional Headphone Review

Ultrasone Edition 8 S-Logic Plus  Natural Surround Sound Professional Headphone
Average Reviews:

These headphones have not been broken in, but right out of the box, they sound wonderful.They seem to have a very balanced clear sound that is fine on the top end.I live the bass response.They are comfortable and classy looking.

However, at $1,499.00, they qualify for people that feel they have to have the "best" of everything.I have many top end headphones from many manufacturors.These headphones "sound wise" hold up very well, but it is very difficult to justify the expense.

I have been listening to them on a very reasonably priced hybrid solid state power sourced, tube powered headphone ampplifier.The sound is really very nice.

The packaging is really quite skimpy.The headphones come with a very pedestrian cable in a white cardboard box with a glossy looking cardboard sleeve over it. At this expense, they could have put it in a nice case.

Style wise, they are much cooler looking than the edition 9.They sound is a little less bass centered.It is more balanced sounding that the Edition 9 which is also a very nice headphone.

I'm a gamer. I depend on this headset for every game I play, on all of my desktops. It has a pretty sturdy design, a good quality microphone, and GREAT speakers. The headset is super comfortable, even though I have a big head. It works on Vista 32 and 64 bit computers, and works with all the games i've tried including Teamfortress 2, World of Warcraft, Heroes of Newerth (beta), just to name a few. BUY THIS HEADSET it wont let you down. I can feel the quality of the headset every time i pick it up.

Only complaint: the microphone is a *little* bit weak (I have to boost the microphone input in most of my games), but is still good for the price!
