Excellent quality headset. The service at Dell is great. This particular set has higher ratings than many other more expensive sets. That being said, they are still about 100.00. You get what you pay pay and this headset is quite popular.

Does not connect to USB without additional costs

I purchased this for my office & it will not connect to the USB port unless you buy an additional cable. This should have been stated on the website. Very disappointed in this purchase!

Can't plug it into my computer

It looks like I have to buy an additional cord to plug this into the headphone jack (weird it does not plug in via USB). It did not come with the attachment to plug this into my computer which is ridiculous given the price I paid for this.

Comfortable, Easy to Use and Great Sound

Bought five of these for our small office and everyone happy: they are easy to use, plug and play you could say. So light that you soon forgot that you were wearing them. Of course the most important thing is that they give clear sound - they do! They also cut out nearly all background noise.

Fragile Headset

The company where I work purchased about 40 of these, within six months there were about seven broken. Cheap, thin plastic housing, now we ran out of warranty and they keep on breaking. Stay away from this brand.

Painful

These are provided at the call center I work at. The sound quality is nice but they are quite painful to wear. I am not a fan of on the ear head phones in general and these ones seem extra snug (I have an average size head. By the end of my shift my ears hurt so bad that I want to cry most days. I am currently searching for something less painful.

Get's the Job done, Right.

The sound quality is superior to many other products we've tested with our new VOIP High Definition phone system. My users are delighted with the sound canceling which delivers an audio atmosphere as if my users are in a quite office and delivered the ability to concentrate closely on the conversation. The foam ear pieces (520 delivers ultimate comfort, allowing my users to be on the phone for hours without stress or discomfort.

Not impressed with durability

I was searching for a durable headset for a call center environment. So far we have had two stop playing audio, one had the plastic housing for the adjustable over the head piece crack, and one had the thin wire rip out. Oh, and one had the buttons installed backwards, so hang up is mute and mute is hang up. So 1 in 10 have had problems in 4 months of use. I am pursuing warranty replacements but the hassle of it is an additional annoyance.

Weak spring connect Left and Right

Bought this from Office Max. When I put it on, the spring tension isn't there to help keep the headset in place and secure against my ears. It's almost like the spring was stretched or something - but it was new, so probably not. I have used a number of Plantronics headsets in the past so I was surprised. It's going back today.
