Logitech H340 USB Headset (981-000507) - Black

This product is priced at the low end so fragility and lack of durability is understandable, but NOT acceptable is the very low output level of the microphone. The purpose of the headset is to hear and create audio. With all audio settings on Windows 7 PC set at maximum, the output was barely audible. For applications such as talk-to-text the output is not sufficient for clear voice recognition. For applications such as audio participation on computer based communications, skype, etc., this product will not perform.

This headset is very fragile, the mic can be easily broken. I only had it for about 6 months and the mic broke, but the the output audio was fine. I was able to get a replacement and was given a new pair of the same model. Then the mic broke again in about the time span of 4 months. This headset works well the first few months, however, if you want a durable headset for everyday use I do not recommend this model.

I always need to hold the mic closer to the mouth, otherwise listeners complain they can barely hear me. Not what I expected. Otherwise its good but just annoying.
