The headset has a long enough cord where you could get up and move around without having to stretch to reach for something. Actually, this headset was recommended by University Alaska Southeast for an inexpensive but reliable product for use during an online webmeet class. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity and white noise reduction.
I believe that the comfort lies in the light weight of the headset. Otherwise I would not have bought a Koss.
Yvette. It is also more expensive than the plantronics I used wihch is $9.99.
Plantronics is a lightweight communications headset,stylish headset solutions.Plantronics headset easily connects It is a headset of comfort.However, Koss sound level produced better sensitivity. I bought a Koss because the cushion in my Plantronics is misplaced.
R But it is too heavy.
I do not agree with anyone who did not use plantronics before who just got in to Koss and state that Koss is light.
Think of all of the extra "stuff" that one has to waste their time and gas buying (not to mention the waste of nrg that goes into manufacturing adaptors) as a result of no standardization. Also, the one from Rosetta Stone had a mic and a single plug in that went right into the STANDARD headphone jack on the front of the computer. I think this proves that Koss has in fact heard of USB which is still one of the MOST COMMON connectors. The plug in configuration was at the expense of unplugging the speakers.
I am giving this item a single star because it DOES NOT come with an adapter such that one can either reduce the two plugs it comes with(one is for the mic one for headphones) to a single plug in, or to a USB plug in. These headphones represent one of the "prize winning" environmental offenders in this catagory (non standardization).Yes, one could argue I should have called the manufacturer and asked if they had considered that this product would necessarily only be used for sound and voice on a PC - and as such had they made any effort to ensured it could be plugged into a PC WITH EASE. Furthermore, the widely practiced non-standardization policies of the electronics industry as a whole are horrible for the environment. Almost all other manufactures do supply adapters for the most common possible hook-ups (such as a single headphone jack or USB).
WORSE, I looked on Koss's website and found that they SELL the USB "y wire" adapter for 29.99 (keep in mind that the headphones are 19.99). Gee, I don't know why that didn't occur to me before we purchased them. My daughter had to purchase these headphones with her own piggy-bank money because she had damaged 2 sets in a short time.the last pair was a brand new set that came free with her Rosetta Stone software which worked well and were far better quality than these. Unfortunately, her rabbit chewed the wire on that pair.I was able to finally find a configuration for which both the mic and headphones work (and aggravation one SHOULD NOT have to go through).
I wouldn't buy it again. I have to hold it over my ears to hear properly and the piece that goes across the head is a funny shape so it doesn't fit right and is uncomfortable. I don't use this headset very much, so it's adequate for my needs. If I had to use it a lot I'd replace it with something more comfortable that fits better.
and the cable to the computer is very long. This headset is very good. the mic and headphones work perfectly.
