easy to use, works well, just doesn't *fit* well 
2008-10-03
I'm in higher education and purchased this headset to use on my MacBook Pro to record voice/speech into GarageBand and Audacity. The headset arrived today, and I just finished trying it out in GarageBand. Some initial observations:
- I took the headset out of the box, attached the USB connector, and plugged it into my laptop, where I had already opened GarageBand. GarageBand immediately recognized the new device, and asked me to confirm that I wanted to use it as my sound input. Easy!
- I recorded some short clips of myself speaking -- on the first playback the volume was low, but once I adjusted the volume control on the headset, it was fine. The sound quality was definitely an improvement over the built-in laptop mic, but I'm not sure if it outperforms a less expensive headset.
- My first recordings were in a quiet office, which wasn't the best setting for testing the sound-canceling, but the mic didn't pic up any background noise (from my laptop, for example). Later, I tried recording again in a computer lab where there was other activity (typing, fans, quiet background conversation) and the mic did seem to help block that out.
- Many of the comments are about comfort. Since I'm not going to be gaming or wearing the headset for long periods of time, comfort is less of an issue for me. I do wish that the headset were adjustable -- it's one solid piece and seems to assume that everyone's head is the same size. I have a smaller-sized head, and it slips right off if I don't rest it on top of my ponytail.
To sum up:
- super easy to use and compatible with MacBook Pro/GarageBand
- sound quality is good -- certainly much better than the built-in mic
- might be a little pricey just for basic podcasting
- headset isn't adjustable, so you sort of have to hope that your head is the right size
DO NOT GET IT

barely picked up any noise at all, made sure it wasn't muted, on the wire and virtually, and still picked up next to nothing. by day 2 it gave me a blister on my ear from the foam pads, and it completely stopped working the next day. BestBuy wouldn't take it back, so I was screwed. Paid $50 and it is a piece of junk! DO NOT BUY IT.
Not wise to buy this headset 
2008-08-06
The reason I gave it two star is that its quality is acceptable, but to me a headset has to be "comfortable", that weighs the same if not greater than the audio and microphone quality. This headset is extremely uncomfortable. I can never wear this headset longer than 30 min because it really bothers my ear. I only wished I read reviews then money wouldn't be wasted
comfort 2008-04-26
microphone quality -- good
hearing -- good
comfort -- bad
I like the design and sound quality of the headset. It's just that it goes around the back of the head and not over the top of the head that makes it so uncomfortable. At least if you put the headset over the top of the head, the weight of the headset would be resting on your head, but as it is right now, cupping the side of your head with nothing to hold it up but the skin of your head, makes it uncomfortable for me because it pulls down on the skin at the side of my head. I have a buzz cut, so maybe that is a factor, but still it hurts. I think even if I grow out my hair, it would still drag the skin down on the side, so I don't understand how I would wear it for like a few hours (5 minutes is bad enough). It works beautifully on every other factor, just this factor. It's uncomfortable enough to make me wish maybe I should have bought another headset.
Maybe it will "grow" on me with time, but I really don't think I'll get used to this uncomfortable "dragging down" of the skin around my ears. Why couldn't logitech just re-design this part and it would have been perfect for me.
Not the best... 2008-03-23
Well, I bought these about 8 months ago and I am now searching for a new headset for gaming. This one gives a headache after awhile from the weight and the headset is NOT adjustable size wise. Just one size so make sure you get the right size. The cord gets tangled way to easily and I have given up trying to keep it untangled.
Definitely not my favorite.
Uncomfortable if you have glasses 2008-01-27
Stay cool with Logitech's Digital Precision PC Gaming Headset. The cushioned headset fits behind the head and features a unique open-air design that keeps your ears cool and comfortable over extended gaming sessions.Take advantage of pure digital audio with the included plug-and-play USB adapter, or connect the dual analog 3.5 mm jacks to your favorite soundcard. A noise-canceling microphone puts the focus on your voice by reducing background chatter, and the in-line volume and mute controls give you instant access to audio adjustments in the heat of the action.

I bought this for my oldest son for use while playing WOW. I asked him how he likes it. His reply, -- SWEET !
Do NOT Buy This Headset 2007-12-28
After 2 weeks of mediocrity, the mic went out WHILE I WAS STILL TALKING. There was no abuse whatsoever and these were practically brand new.
Comfort - Rams a thick foam pad between your head and ear, essentially making it feel like your ear is being ripped off. That combined with the sheer weight of these and it feels pretty horrible. Unless you have a massively wide head, these will make you feel like your ears are about to fall off after 15 minutes of use
Performance - These headphones, despite being pushed as having a "bass orientated 40 mm driver", are poor at best. For comparison, I have cheap $20 Sony EARBUDS that give better sound quality. From what I can tell by playing some games and listening to music, these headphones take the Low and High tones and force them all into the Mid range. To make it worse, the Mid range on these phones is only decent. The high-pitch beeps of a bomb timer sounded horrible, and the low-tone explosions didn't even make me jump at all.
USB Adapter - Yeah it's cool and all but definitely doesn't give any better quality than the analog input and definitely is not worth $30 more.
Alternative - The Logitech Extreme PC Gaming headset is a whole lot cheaper, has better low range ability, and is SLIGHTLY more comfortable because it doesn't weigh 5 pounds. Then only use the headset for chatting and gaming and Sony earbuds for everything else.
Summary - I have the Extreme PC Gaming headset, this Digital Precision PC Gaming headset, some Walkman Earbuds, HP earbuds, and Sony MDR earbuds, and this set is by far the worst of them all in every category.
Logitech Headset 2007-12-18
Good quality sound and great microphone, the only problem i see with this headset is the fact that it's not really comfortable.
Works great on MacBook Pro

Needed a USB gaming headset for my MacBook Pro. This was recommended and it works great. No software necessary.
