Plantronics DSP-500 Digitally Enhanced USB Headset

Strengths: Fair price.

Weakness: Microphone boom could be more adjustable.

Comfortable headset on my small bald head. Using with ViaVoice on Mac G4. Reliable recognition with this software, much better than other microphone I have used. Headphones sound full, pleasant and good at reducing outside noise. I would by it as a gift.

Plantronics DSP-500 Digitally Enhanced USB Headset

Strengths: -Headphones are comfortable and very adjustable -Installation was very simple -Mic is very clear in games -Mic changes position

Weakness: -Mic is only on the left side -The pads feel a little weak and easy to break (must be gentle with this product

This headset is very good and easy to use but very expensive. If money is not really an issue, get these. The USB port really helps b/c it is not in the way and very easy to connect. Installation is quick and easy and you are ready to use. I've tested this headset in a couple online video games and everyone could hear my talking perfectly fine.

Plantronics DSP-500 Digitally Enhanced USB Headset

Strengths: Excellent sound quality. Nice presets for listening preferences, Solid - high qulaity unit, Long cord

Weakness: The inline 'sound card' unit is a little awkward, but it is not too noticeable once you get started

Very easy to use. I run WinXP and when I plug it in, it beeps at me inside the headphones and it is working. When I unplug it, it automatically shifts back over to my system speakers. Very comfortable. Nice, solid microphone and boom. Good sound reproduction. I use it mostly for Counter Strike and FPS games. Very well suited. Like it a lot.

dsp-500

Strengths: lighweight, comfortable

Weakness: none found

I purchased these for $50.00 , primarily to be used for speech recognition. The fixed mic and the built in sound card make the speech recognition software easier to use. Overall for speech and gaming I would buy again.

Plantronics DSP-500 USB

For 10 less you can now get the Sennheiser PC155s whose USB interface is optional not compulsory, and get superior headphones.
