Advantages: lightweight, durable and great looking

Disadvantages: -

Being a woman I am obviously used to multi tasking and as I spend a lot of time online downloading, playing games and chatting then this headpiece comes in very handy to help me multi task online.
No more typing messages when on msn therefore I can concentrate fully on other things whilst still getting my messages over to friends.

This headset and microphone is very lightweight and extremely flexible, it offers very clear quality sound be it from music files, video files or just your friends voices through msn or skype. The microphone boom is bendy so you can position it close to your mouth and has noise cancelling features so you can make your voice heard over background noise.
There is an inline volume and mute switch allowing you full control over the headset without returning to your media player or sound control on your PC.

Available from many places online including edirectory.co.uk, wizardprice.com and ebuyer.com. Also stocked by curries, comet and pc world. The price varies a bit but not much - between 21 and 28 pounds in most places.
It is very easy to use being that it is just plug and play unit which connects through usb it is also very easy to install.

The sound output is of course stereo but the mic input is only mono. I have a fairly good set of earphones with my mp3 player and this head set can take almost as much volume from my pc as those can before becoming distorted, the only real difference I find is that this head set does not handle bass as well as my mp3`s earphones.
Although this set is light weight it gives the impression that it is also very durable and built to last. It is an item which will last you a long time.

As well as working to perfection this item also looks very professional and is not at all bulky, cheap and tacky looking like a lot of head sets can be. It does in fact look a lot more expensive than it actually is.
If you prefer to chat rather than type whilst on msn then this is for you. If you like to listen to things in private on your pc then again this is for you. It is very versatile and I would recommend this head set strongly.

Hope you have found some use from this review and thank you for reading.
