Oh dear God, the Pro4AA. I actually got the Pro4AAT headphones a while back, the titanium model. To say I was unhappy with them would be a serious understatement. They were heavy, uncomfortable, and the cord end died in a year. I ended up replacing them with Sennheiser HD280PROs, which too had

The Logitech is a good performer for its price but build quality is awful, if this headset had the build quality of the Plantronics Audio 995 then it would be near perfect and a truly value for money product. On 29 Sep 2014, at 5:06 am, cov...@ccs.covici.com wrote: I have found the legend
