Hi list, I was wondering if you all could give me your opinion based on the following info. I am considering purchasing one of the following headsets/microphone combos below for my HP Pavilion laptop. The Logitech is $16.88 plus shipping and the GE 4-in-1 headset is $18.88.
Does anyone have any experience with these headsets? I plan to make a purchase soon using my $20 Wal-Mart gift card. Also, I have a couple of technical questions based on the descriptions below. 1. What does "in-line/cord volume control" mean? 2. What does someone mean when they say the microphone provides good noise canceling capability? Is this something already built into the mic, or do you have to make the adjustments? Thanks for any guidance on the matter.
