As an avid online gamer who likes to get involved in the games I play by speaking to other team mates etc through team speak. ventrillo and the likes, I decided to purchase the Plantronics Blackwire C210 at the reasonable price of £25.

On first impression, I found it isn't very robust. I'm quite heavy handed with things and had to be careful not to break the plastic in two. The headband is fully adjustable and I got it at a perfect fit, not too tight and not too loose. When gaming I can lose track of time and can be on for hours at a time, so having cushion like pads on the ears, is a nice feature to have and makes them feel warm and comfortable.

The headset is incredibly easy to use. As it connects via the USA port, simply plug-and-play. The microphone uses noise-cancelling technology to filter out background noise and digital signal processing to help provide a more natural sounding voice. I asked my team mates how I sound and they said they could clear me perfectly, like if I was in their room with them.

Weighing in at 114g, the headset is light on my head and doesn''t dig in at all. Communications with other team mates while playing games using the headset are clear and concise. I never had to ask my team mates to repeat anything. No fuzzy radio-like signals like you get with some headsets, just good quality stereo audio that never fails to disapoint.
