Well, as I have only used the G35's and the Plantronics 780's I can only speak on those. The G35's are by far the most comfortable headset I've ever used. If they didn't have the TERRIBLE FLAW of breaking at the joint on the earcup I would still be using them and only them. The sound is excellent. The microphone is near perfect. The Plantronics are nice so far but nearly as comfortable and they do not fit over my ears so ambient sound is an issue. They are def. better made than the G35 though.

the sound is a kind of depends on different people's ears, I am not a professional one to judge it. The comfortable issue, I usually wear it 4 to 6 hours a day, I have no problem with that long time. But there is one thing I have to tell you is the headset cover sucks. the fux leather skin of the cover will take off into ashes, so after a while of use, you have to find a pair of new covers which, unfortunately, are not provided by Logitech. Read other comments on Amazon or Logitch forum, this is a big issue.

I can't think of a worst part. Prior to ordering this headset I checked a bunch of headsets at the local Best Buy (a couple of miles away). After a short time most of them were uncomfortable. This Sades set is less uncomfortable as any of the expensive headsets that I checked (which took at least an hour). Fortunately I don't have to wear a headset frequently. But for its price the sound is amazing and once the microphone is adjusted, it worked great for several online classes that required input from class members. The worst part then would be comfort but this headset is more comfortable than the expensive headphones that I tried at Best Buy. I can't think of a worst part.

With the audio range of those headphones you should notice a difference. I have an old Creative Headset with Mic & as old as they are they sounded better. The newer headsets like yours, handles a better range of sound. My brother has a Creative T6 series which is a 2.1series Creative wireless system which handles 2.1-5.1 sound. It sounds great, which is the reason I got it. I have an older Creative 5.1 system & it's sound quality has improved. Hope this helps.

I would go with whichever one looks the best to you. They are both great headphones. The sennheiser are more portable, and weigh alot less. I have both and use them in different situations. I like the sound of either one.

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

I've owned bose, harmon kardan, and varios other headsets. Kransens work as well or better, for me. As usual, wind is the big factor.

BT is very comfortable - e.g. for your car audio. ak100II has it, AK120II has it. but if i'm not wrong, this version (ak120) doesn't. Adam, in-ear.com

I've used this with two different phones: Panasonic KX-TGA641 & AT&T; TL92320; no problems. To make sure I had no problems I used a 5-Way Telephone Jack Multiple Phone Modular Outlet with it, because I have an answering machine attached as well. I bought the jack here on Amazon.My thoughts on this headset: It is the best and most comfortable headset I have ever used, and I have worn it for at least 5 hours at a time. It is VERY CLEAR and so do the people I talk to when using it. And to make this even clearer, I use VOIP!

The 981 is 5.1 audio, while the 980 is 7.1. The 980 is built as a great "all rounder", which means it has good video output and good audio output. The 981 gets better video, but suffers in the audio. If you are willing to spend a little more, wait a bit for the 983. Much better video output, and will be 7.1 audio too. Oh, one more thing, the 980 can accept USB devices, but the 981 cannot.

Hi Evelyn, I suspect you'll get a lot of feedback which is great. Here's my .02. Since you haven't purchased yet I'd suggest you go with the HE. Reasoning. For only a few dollars more it comes with Bluetooth built in and is also compatible with Wi-Fi N (which the HA is not). While it's difficult to find an N system right now it may eventually catch on and you want all the web surfing speed you can get right? Bluetooth allows you to transmit music or even phone calls to a headset. If you're on a plane or just relaxing you're free of any wired connection to the computer. Yes, you can buy a little Bluetooth nub (I have one on my HA) for $20 or so but The HE has it built in. The HE processor is just a nudge faster. Reviews I've read so far indicate the additional speed isn't noticeable to the casual user but again, anytime you can get a faster processor and front end for roughly the same price give it serious consideration. And then there's the keyboard. While I haven't seen it my understanding is the HE is an improvement over the keyboard on the HA. Many users have modified the HA keyboard (it's extremely simple) but if Asus has heard the complaints about having an arrow key where the caps key 'should' be and fixed the problem then why not take advantage? The HE is also (apparently) a little slimmer and an ounce or two lighter even though battery life is improved. While I wouldn't suggest someone who's already invested in an HA dump the old machine for the new one, I'd strongly recommend someone starting from scratch give the HE a close look. Cheers

Your milage may vary but usually you want to go with an open backed headset if you can. They sound better (wider soundstage) and are more comfortable to wear (not so hot / sweaty ears). The downside is they don't isolate sound very well and you will hear more ambient noise. If you're using them at home go open backed. If you're using them around a lot of people / noisy environment, go closed backed.

Comfort is good you just have to break them in first. They were tight on me out of the box but after a few nights of leaving them extended on a box that wasn't an issue. But comfort is really dependent on your opinion and preference. Sound is very good in my opinion these are better than the more pricey headsets out right now. The mixer is a bit of a pain to use though depending on what platform you'll be using these on. I got these for the PC and have to change some settings to get them to work properly. Lately I have been using them on the PS4 except the mixer will not work at all for me. Just the headset itself plugged into the controller works fine though.

My online teammates said the quality was fine, and that there wasn't anything bad about the mic quality(I'm not really sure there is a better approval term than that).As far as head comfort, yes, this headset is very comfortable. I wear the headset (out of preference) whenever I am on my computer, and I will keep it on for 6+ hours at a time with no issues. After daily use for several weeks, I don't have any complaints with the headset at all. The sound quality is good, the mic quality is good, the headset is comfortable and lightweight, and overall, I am very satisfied with the headset. Especially considering the price.

I have both the single ear one and this. In absolute terms i find it very comfortable. However in terms of ease of putting it on the one ear model takes much less time. Once you put it on mike angle stays fixed while in one ear model that can sometimes get changed.

I use both the 120 and the 130 headsets. The 130 has more features and also has slightly more base. Since I have high frequency hearing loss, I prefer the 120. I am able to let my wife use the 130 while I use the 120. One of the charging /transmitters is not plugged into the audio jacks and is simply used for a charging base. We do not specifically charge either headset on one base or the other, but instead use which base happens to be closest or empty. I also know that transmitting works for either, but as stated before the 130 has more features. (which I don't use) These are the best headsets I have ever used.

I have them both. These sound better but don't clamp as hard or fit my head as well. The decreased clamping makes them more comfortable but they leak more sound out and don't isolate as well from outside sounds. I kind of like the 280's for drowning outside noises.

The CM storm is true surround with multiple speakers per ear cup, the Skullcandy is digital surround, with only speaker per cup so the CM sirus provides better more correct 3d positional sound. I only breifly used the Skullcandy 7.1's at a store as a demo they were comfortable, I dont know how they would be after long gaming sessions or after watching a movie but my initial impression was the sound was good they were comfortable, but damn expensive. Ive owned tons of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach (junk) skullcandy (good) Alienware (ok) Logitech (ok) and the SM sirus blows them all out of the water, the build quality is phenominal the soldering and wiring is top notch, the screws and picot points on the headset are way overengineered to make sure they last, there is metal reinforcing every stress point and after almost a year of use they are as good as new. Most of my headsets especially turtle beach require some sort of fix after 3-6 months then a major fix at about 9 months then at the 1 year mark I have to replace them. I cant speak to the longevity of that particular skullcandy headset but the Skullcandy headset i did own (cant remeber the model number) lasted me about a year, then a speaker gave out and I tried to fix them but the speaker was just toast. I will never buy another set of headphones other that the CM Storm Sirus or equivelant set from CM. They are the most comfortable and best made gaming headphones ive ever used. The only headphones Ive got that sound better ar Bose Proffessional Studio headphones that cost like $600. but they dont have a mic. The CM Sirus Headset at less than $100 is a steal, I would be happy with these headphones if they were just as much as teh Skullcandy 7.1's. I say forget the skullcandy set and get the CM Sirus, or something similar from CM in wireless if thats a big deal for you
