 Plantronics headset is better than Koss July 22, 2008

Plantronics is a lightweight communications headset,stylish headset solutions.Plantronics headset easily connects It is a headset of comfort.However, Koss sound level produced better sensitivity. But it is too heavy. I believe that the comfort lies in the light weight of the headset. I do not agree with anyone who did not use plantronics before who just got in to Koss and state that Koss is light. I bought a Koss because the cushion in my Plantronics is misplaced. Otherwise I would not have bought a Koss. It is also more expensive than the plantronics I used wihch is $9.99.

 BAD hook up design June 1, 2008

I am giving this item a single star because it DOES NOT come with an adapter such that one can either reduce the two plugs it comes with(one is for the mic one for headphones) to a single plug in, or to a USB plug in. Almost all other manufactures do supply adapters for the most common possible hook-ups (such as a single headphone jack or USB).
My daughter had to purchase these headphones with her own piggy-bank money because she had damaged 2 sets in a short time...the last pair was a brand new set that came free with her Rosetta Stone software which worked well and were far better quality than these. Also, the one from Rosetta Stone had a mic and a single plug in that went right into the STANDARD headphone jack on the front of the computer. Unfortunately, her rabbit chewed the wire on that pair.
I was able to finally find a configuration for which both the mic and headphones work (and aggravation one SHOULD NOT have to go through). The plug in configuration was at the expense of unplugging the speakers. WORSE, I looked on Koss's website and found that they SELL the USB "y wire" adapter for 29.99 (keep in mind that the headphones are 19.99). I think this proves that Koss has in fact heard of USB which is still one of the MOST COMMON connectors.
Furthermore, the widely practiced non-standardization policies of the electronics industry as a whole are horrible for the environment. Think of all of the extra "stuff" that one has to waste their time and gas buying (not to mention the waste of nrg that goes into manufacturing adaptors) as a result of no standardization.
These headphones represent one of the "prize winning" environmental offenders in this catagory (non standardization).
Yes, one could argue I should have called the manufacturer and asked if they had considered that this product would necessarily only be used for sound and voice on a PC - and as such had they made any effort to ensured it could be plugged into a PC WITH EASE. Gee, I don't know why that didn't occur to me before we purchased them!
 Looks nice, very uncomfortable though March 19, 2007

I don't use this headset very much, so it's adequate for my needs. If I had to use it a lot I'd replace it with something more comfortable that fits better. I have to hold it over my ears to hear properly and the piece that goes across the head is a funny shape so it doesn't fit right and is uncomfortable. I wouldn't buy it again.
 very good! February 22, 2007

I use them for dictating into Dragon Naturally Speaking, and they work great for the most part (as anyone who's used this program knows, you have to be patient and continually "train" the program). My only complaint (and it's probably not really a fault of the headset) is that if someone pops their head into the office and says "Hi!", or if the phone rings, the headset picks up this extraneous noise and the dictation recognition is affected. Maybe I should just close the door... Bottom line--I would definitely buy them again.
