headset quality is this headset decent enough for mixing music and speech recognition software?

No unless you want to sound like a 12 year old girl with laryngitis or a 60+ year old smoker.

There is no way to tell since I have not used it in the way described. They sound good, and it would PROBABLY work for that, but my problem is that the headset snapped and broke after I had it for 2 days. Big bummer.

After about six months, I purchased the Koss CS100 Speech Recognition Computer Headset from Amazon for about $20 including shipping. It provided a significant improvement over the headset supplied with my Dragon Ver. 9.0. So go ahead and 'splurge', it's well worth while in my opinion.

Yes, you'll be able to listen music without problems, but I'm not quite sure whether the mic would work fine.

I think they're pretty darn good myself. I like the Playstion headset a bit though.

I did not test the microphone extensively, it was good for Skype and taking calls while driving, but it doesn't work for voice recognition on some software such add language learning

It's not any better or worse than a normal iphone or Samsung factory head set microphone. I have 2 hollow air sets:) it's worth the price:)

It seems fine to me. I've had a.few conversations using the headset and have had no complaints. Although it should be noted that I tend to speak a bit loud.

That really depends. The newer Realtek chips are pretty good, the ALC1150 in particular. The ALC888 is also pretty decent. Virtually any other Realtek codec, on the other hand, won't sound as good as this.Bear in mind if you're using a surround headset that plugs in over USB, those decode audio in software on the PC, bypassing any sound card you may have connected. You'll only benefit from this card if you're plugging into the analog inputs on the card, as you would with something like Razer's Tiamat 7.1.

On the the set I got, the earphones were pretty good but in a couple of different test environments the microphone quality appeared so poor that I returned them after about 20 minutes testing; I need a headset, not a pair of earphones. Sample defect? Maybe, but I'm not interested in wasting time on bad quality control.

Yes, and as long as it is surround sound (rear) the audio quality should be acceptable.

I would say so. The surround sound is definitely not as good as a headphone or a system but it's decent. What you hear also depends on the quality of your music and I say I am enjoying mine so far.

I would not recommend this headset. The mic was dead on arrival but the speakers were working. I would suggest going for headset above > $20 to get a product that actually works. HTH.

I think so. Because the mic is clearly and the head phone is good also. Just when you use it other people will probably heard what are you listening.

It is average quality....I am not a music aficionado but the bass is not deep and outside of the volume controls, there are no extra features to boost the sound from what I can tell, but the midrange tones are OK for most audio content. I listen to mostly streaming content not necessarily just music, so for my purposes they work pretty great.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

There is a line-in that can be used for recording. There is also an xlr input. While I have never used them, I am sure the sound quality should be ok. I would recommend the wearing of a headset to listen for residual sound that may be adjusted out using the mixer.

Absolutely! Especially for voice and guitar. You will be surprised by the warmth and fullness that these built in mikes provide. Way better than a $100 Microphone. You will be pleased.
