One of the better Bluetooth headsets you've used? That being the case then
you're easily satisfied
and have not heard a better quality bluetooth headset <smile>.
Yep, okay for just playing audio in most cases but absolutely dreadful!
when using it in speaker phone mode but - as I said earlier - its a cheap
headset and - given that -
I guess one can't really complain.
If you're going to be looking for a bluetooth headset for communication this
the Logitech H800 just
isn't it, using the wireless dongle with the headset on your PC or Mac is
brilliant.

Okay thanks, yes this H800 is a good headset for general use but
certainly not a professional quality pair of headphones by any manner
of means and neither would anyone consider it so for the price though
it has many attributes to recommend the device, works very well with Skype has
been optimised for
that sort of thing.
Excellent microphone for voice chat which works well and has good noise
cancelation properties.

Could you expound on that further please? Why isn't this headset any
good for Webcasting and what
do
you define as Webcasting, are you talking about Internet
broadcasting/streaming? If so then I see where you're coming from and
I did point out that the H800 is not a professional headset by any manner of
means, its good for
what its designed for and that's chat and general use.

I would make one comment about the h800 while it is a decent
communications headset it's not ideal for webcasting. This has been my
experience at any rate.

There are many out there, probably the most well known is the
Logitech
H800 which has been discussed many times on the list.
Like everything it has its advantages and disadvantages, its cheap and yep, a
very cheap build.
Has quite nice sound when using it with USB on your computer but
Bluetooth certainly needs to be upgraded.
Can be used whilst the battery charges.
Folds up for easy carrying.
Has controls for answering/ending calls, skipping backwards and
forwards through tracks and so
on.
Note that the answering/ending buttons may not work with Skype, this
is a known problem with the set.
Warning beep sounds when batteries are running down, battery life is around 8
hours.
A nice pair of headphones for chatting but nothing particularly
special when it comes to music listening, build is terrible so don't
expect the headphones to
last
too long.
I think this product is around $50 so no, not too expensive, if you
want something that will dazzle and excite you with its performance
then try something like the
Senheiser MM-500.

Hi.
I'm happily using a USB sound card with a microphone hooked up to it.
It does what I want, but I'm curious about headset/microphone
combinations for the PC. The headset needs to be stereo. I'm
looking for either USB or blue tooth options. Also, I need
something that doesn't cost me the PC to get it.
Thanks in advance for any information.
