Cyber Acoustics AC-840 Internet Communication USB Mono Headset Customer Reviews
Awesome headset,I just bought 2 more sets (we now have 2 PS3's in the house) This is my 2nd set for me. The mute, volume control, and price make this the best bang for the buck in gaming headsets. This is my 2nd set for me because the 1st set I stepped on and cracked and the swing arm also got loose over time. The only downside to these headsets is that after 1.8 years the arm got real loose and would not stay in place. The headset was still useable because it "flexed" up close enought to my mouth to pick me up but I decided to get another one since I was ordering another for our 2nd PS3 in the house anyway. MUTE FUNCTION and VOLUME CONTROL is a MUST on any headset you decide to buy.
Perfect for Ventrilo or TeamSpeak / VOIP,I have been using the AC-840 for about 3 years. They have very good audio quality in both the speaker and the microphone. For the price, I am not careful these. I have one in my laptop bag that I use for VOIP when on business trips. I love using this headset while playing World of Warcraft. I am able to play the game audio through my desktop speakers and speak with friends on Ventrilo through the headset. During the day, I use the headset while hosting webinars on GotoMeeting. I am quite rough on the one in the office as well as I have ran over the cable as least 50 times! I purchase a new headset about every 18 months as the padding starts to shred after daily use for more then 10 hours a day. I have never experienced low microphone audio. I have purchased 6 of these for my business and personal use. The first time you connect to your PC you will need to adjust the microphone in the recording panel to full. I have used this headset on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 on desktops and laptops. Do remember that this headset will appear to be a different audio card in your computer, so it has its own "speakers" and "microphone", and will have its own recording and playback volume settings. The only thing that would make these better is if the cable was a tad bit thicker and the wind screen was able to be purchased separately.
