This product is very practical and convenient to use but the microphone needs to be better at canceling the "outside" noises. The mike is very sensitive and being omnidirectional the listener hears every sound occurring in the room when one is using speaking.

I just bought a new laptop with a web cam and wanted a headset that is lightweight and easy to use. After researching my options, I found the Plantronics Audio 450 Ultimate Performance On-The-Go Headset. With earbuds-style speakers with a boom mic, this product is The Best Laptop Headset EVER! This headset even has a small volume control and mute on the cord. AND the Plantronics Audio 450 fits into my laptop carrying case very neatly. I HIGHLY recommend this product!!

This is the second one I got. The sound quality is good, and it's easy to handle it. But it's easy to break. The last one didn't work after using about a year.

So, I wanted an earbud headset with a mic that was retractable... It's for my laptop bag. This one looked like it might be, and I was prepping myself for the inevitability that it was not... So turns out it was not, and the cables to get tangled and what not, but you will find that with any other headset. As a functional item for a laptop bag, it is top notch! The mic is great quality and the headset is good quality. The manner in which you put this headset on is a bit off the beaten path with the earlobe clip thingy, but it's a good fit for a quick call in skype, or whatever.

I cannot say much about these headphones as I returned them because they were defective (no stereo). However, while I was testing them, I came to dislike the ear pieces - the part that connects over the ear. Instead of giving a better fit - or holding on to the ear, they tended to get in the way and be a distraction. The size seems good though - as I wanted something small that would let me use Skype while traveling.
