Plantronics .Audio 350 Halo 2 Gaming Headset - .AUDIO 350 HALO 2
Plantronics .Audio 350 Halo 2 Noise Cancelling Stereo PC Gaming Headset

I've had these for a few months now. They are the best inexpensive headset I've owned. I love the long length of the cord and volume adjustment. Sounds are fair. Mic picks up clean. If you want studio Quality for$10, you got issues. People complain about breaking theirs easily. I'll tell you this. If you are rough with your things, sure they'll break. I generally take care of my things. ei. don't toss them around. Don't test,bend the rigidness of the damn thang. If it ain't broke, don't brake it. Plain and simple. Take care of your things people.

I currently have a set of these I bought sometime ago. I am still using them and they are the best headsets I have had to date. I bought 3 more. One as a backup for my original set and 2 for friends. (Pros) Excellant headset with great sound quality. Whether doing voice over IP during gaming or just listening to music these headphones work great. (Cons)None that I have found yet. The set I am currently using is 2 years old and still out performing anything else I have tried.

I purchased this head set about a month back and was truely amazed by the quality of the output....I was not happy initially that the product was advertised as a nise cancellation headset but was not to be. But I am pretty much happy about the headset that costed abt 10 bucks...I found it a bit bulky tough....but overall its good...

I bought this one for skype chat. This one is quite cheap and good value for your money. But the microphone stick is not good and it comes down every now and then. It looks like this is going to break in some time. The headphones are giving good sound but little too heavy. Overall it is an average product.

These headphones have awesome sound but the fit is wrong for the human head. The angle of the earpads makes them dig into the side of your head. Most headphones correctly assume that the sides of a human head are flat, these assume the head is round. But for $10, I'm willing to compromise for the great sound quality. The mic has a good position, folds out of the way and has good sound. The adjustment mechanism is curious, when not wearing the headphones, the adjuster is slack so the earpieces fall to their longest extension, when being worn, the adjuster is tight and the earpieces stay in place. Overall these are big silly looking headphones that don't quite fit right but they have great audio.

Sound quality is good, bass is not all that great, ofcourse cannot match an in ear design, doesn't fit all that well on large ears, leading to air spaces being created and loss in the bass. Midranges are awesome, nice for gaming and team talk. treble and high ranges again are good. wouldnt do justice to music but is great for gaming, cannot be worn for rather long times, keeps slipping

Seeing that it was a Halo 2 edition headset with the xbox 360 look of a headset I went into the buy thinking it was an xbox headset. Should have read further into it, I know, and I understand my mistake. Other than that little detail, for 10 bucks it was a great buy! The microphone dangles and that's a downer yet overall for the price, it's a great buy.

They are a good price. Such a good price that after the cord broke on the first one, I spent another $10 for another pair. The cord broke in the same fashion 2 weeks later. There is no real strain relief between the headphones and the volume adustment box, and it takes very little force to rip the cord out of it. Only solder and 28 gauge wires keep it together. But for $10, they are a good deal. I would not be so happy if I had to pay $25 for them, however. Repairable with a GOOD soldering iron (almost like doing SMD repairs, however).

Great basic headphone set. Picked them up for the other Team Fortress II fanatic in our house. Comfortable fit and entirely acceptable sound quality. The microphone seems to work as well as more expensive set that I have been using. And the cord is long enough to reach from the back of the computer (on the lowest shelf of the desk) and still allow comfortable seating/movement. All that for 10 bucks!

Long cord, light weight, stylish design. Very comfortable on the ears. The sound is good and it's very good value for money.

I bought this because it cost $10 with free shipping and I had trouble using my microphone with RosettaStone. First it works well for my main purpose. There are very few repeats despite the fan running in the back. Second, there is an inline volume control and microphone mute. Lastly, the microphone tucks away nicely. On the other side the volume is somewhat lacking and it is ill suited for listening to music. All to be expected from a cheap headset but the original list was $50. One note is that I have a very large head and it fits with room to spare; although, it seems to bow out and the cups are not as snug as I would like. The headgear is entirely plastic.

For 10 bucks, this is a terrific value for a headset. The speakers are decent with okay bass and highs, and microphone is clear on the other end. It does get your ears on the warmer side. I have a small head, about 7 1/4 hat size, and fits fine. The only downside is the cheap plastic. The Microphone boom (green part) broke off just by me taking it out of the packaging. I just glued it to a fixed position, since there is a Mute button attached anyways.

Purchased to use with Skype. They are just as ugly as their picture, perhaps more so, but they do work as advertised--sound is good and fit is reasonably comfortable--even over large heads. Cord is very long--on the order of 8 ft. Have not owned long, and they do look and feel flimsy. I'll be treating them gently.

my height adjustor broke when I got it...but still usable...and the sound quality is satisfying.

I am surprised at the negative reviews. This is a headset for gaming at home, not jogging or running around. I found the headphone comfortable and the sound quality good. Use it for Skype with excellent results. Also used for listening to mp3. Nothing is broken on the set I received and nothing has broken yet.

Very good sound for ten bucks. As others have mentioned, height adjustment is very sloppy, likely to be non-existent after some use.

Bought for my children for on-line video playing. Working well until, unfortunately, screw fell out of one of the headsets after 2 weeks and doesn't quite work as well now as the ear piece keeps falling off.

I was blown off when I heard music with it for the first time. And to think I got it for just $9.99 blows everything away.This is a steal! Buy.com is freaking AWSUM !!!

This headphone has a good sound quality but overall build quality is poor. Also the boom for microphone is very loose and always comes down, kind of annoying. I would suggest buying a logitech headphone for $13 which is much lighter and robust construction.

This is a nice headset for the price. Good sound quality and fairly comfortable to wear. Great deal even if you just want to listen to your music player BUT they are not Bose quality! Buyers should realize it is for the XBox, not the XBox 360 and it is not a wireless headset. A good sounding headset for $10 is definitely a good bargain.

I feel like I'm going to break it in half every time I put it on, and take it off. Other than that, very nice sound quality, they're light (obviously because it's made from cheap plastic), and pretty comfortable on my ears. I haven't tested the microphone, but depending on when (not if) it will break, will decide if paying $10 was worth it.

You get what you pay for... sometimes. I've had these about 3 weeks. They perform relatively well, but durability is severely lacking. The cheap plastic height adjustors have broken on both sides of mine, meaning that they fall down below my ears every time I move my head. Get these if you need a cheap replacement while you look for a decent headset, but don't expect them to last long.

[[[ PROS ]]] This is the best cheap set of headphones I've ever bought. They fit comfortably on my head with the padding around the ears and and top of the head. The inside of the headphones is red... doesn't do anything but it looks cool. [[[ CONS ]]] When you first open the package, you immediately notice that they are kind of bulky. They aren't going to stay on your head if you run, maybe not even if you walk. My microphone was detached from my headset. There is a screw that is almost impossible to get to without removing an ear piece. I taped it up to keep it out of the way. The cable is plenty long. [[[ WORST ]]] The worst thing about this headset is that you will have to adjust it every time you use it. The headpieces slide down so unless your head is as big as a large watermelon, get use to adjusting. Take the headset off to answer the phone and when you put them back on, you will have to adjust again. What a pain. I can live with this for the price though.

They are cool if you're a halo fan. But they are massive. I won't be wearing them outside of my home.

Pros: the sound seems decent, they include a boom mic, and the cord is long. Cons: cheap plastic feel, small and poor-fitting earphones. Due to the plastic construction, if they don't fit well out of the box for you, then you pretty much just have to live with that. I tried bending them to fit better, and they did twist a little, but of course, it's just plastic. I was afraid they'd snap. I have average-sized (i.e., not large) ears that don't stick out, and the headphones themselves don't completely fit over them--but *almost*. That also makes them feel uncomfortable. There's no way to get a more snug fit, which sort of ruins the noise cancellation effect. I can let my kids use them without too much concern that they'll destroy them faster than the $5 cheapies I bought at the drugstore. You get what you pay for; I say pass on these and spend a little more for a higher-quality set.

Nice unit for the price. If ya' want good Headphones for a little money, these are the ones.

These are plantronics headsets with halo branding. They are fantastic, and the sound (input and putput) is fantastic, clean and true.

The headset itself does not fit ergonomically to the head. The back of the headsets do not fit tightly and leave an open gap. You have to have a really fat head in order for this head set to fit you. Most headsets fits universally but not these.

Same review as what a few other people wrote. The microphone boom broke in less than a week. Now it's stuck in the down position permanently. Still works, but I was frustrated that it broke so fast. I paid a total of $0.88 for it from google checkout, so who am i to complain. On the good note, the audio quality was better than my previous headphone, and people told me that the mic quality on the other end seems to be better than my old one.

This is perhaps the best noise cancellation headfones in terms of value for money.. Its not as expensive as the logitech..
 
Was this review helpful?    

The headphones reproduce clear sound with good definition and bass and details. The microphone may "fuzz" out occasionally if you speak too softly, or if it's too far away -- it'll treat softer sounds as background noise which it tries to filter out. This is not common, and in general it's been working just fine. The fit can feel a little heavy....but the headset is well-cushioned and clearly designed for usable comfort.

If you want something cheap its all right. Quality kind of so so. I have seen better head set but cost a lots more. If you just needs low end Head set at low price I think it is worthed.

Got this for $10 and it works great. I have an audio 510 and the headset is identical except for the green color and not being a usb hookup. Allthough the sound is great, it tends to get a little uncomfortable after long gaming session. Halo Rox!

The Shipping took 1 week over they said max shipping would be. my kids love it! My Sons have clamed it as thier own. and they seem to love it. They use us on the PC, Xbox, PSP. For the price I paid for it, it is well worth the money. It is a very good headset for gamimg and using skype or any online telephone. When using this headset for gaming it helps you totally become involved in the game, The outside world is totally disconnected and game play is greatly enhanced. This is a definite BUY.

Good headset for the $. Not ergonomic to the head though. Does not fit to the head with the right curvature. Although they may fit someone else better. Overall good value. Have not tried the mic yet but I really like how the mic boom flips up neatly out of the way when not in use. The sound is medium quality....not huge but also not weak either. Bass is decent enough. I would not buy these again only because of the fit problem. I like a headset that fits snug and seals around my ears. These do not.

I owned many plantronics headsets in the past 8 years. Most of them lasted about 1 to 2 years, which is okay since I used them frequently and only paid around $20 for each headset. After using this headset for a few days, I must say this headset is not worth because the green plastic used to make it is cheap. The microphone wand would not stay in the upright position like my other plantronics headsets. It popped out of socket on the first day. On the third day, the joint which connects the microphone wand to the headphone completely broke (the plastic joint just cracked).

The bass is really good. And even the quality and clarity of the mic is good Overall a good deal and value for money product. I got it mainly for use with Gtalk, skype and voip apps, so the purpose is voice chat - this product serves the purpose. A few cons - the ear cups tend to slide down, overall a good product.

Item arrived broken in a way that was not due to delivery. What more can I say? Microphone boom broken and not usable. Had to tape it up to the headphone mast. Gave it to my 5 yr old to use with his stuff.

I have had this type of headphone for about 4 years now. I play Counter Strike: Source and use a number of voice communication programs for other games. This has a excellent quality mic and amazing 5.1 simulated surround sound with descent bass to boot. I bought 2 of these when they were on sale. The only reason I buy them as such is the headphones are very durable but, due to my setup the mic often breaks. I have my comp setup on the foor and I often accidentally sit on them sometimes the mic continues to work flawlessly but must be taped back into position :p. 1 pair lasted me about 3 years and I'm currently at about 2 1/2 for the 2nd the 2 of these I bought should last me for a while. My final comment is the comfort, I wore these for about 16 hrs straight one time didn't even realize it. The comfort kept my ears(in particular) and head from hurting during this time period the perfect headphones in my opinion becuase of the hardcore gaming that I do. Though the mic could be more durable i'm not complaining based on the average longevity. Overall Awesome headphones, quality sound, and medium durability. A perfect buy for my arsenal of Sound.
