As Logitech's first gamer oriented headset this headset is a work of art. I've been using this headset for about 6 months now and I haven't had any reason to switch. Im always on ventrillo and skype and this works flawlessly.
My favorite part about it is how it wraps around the back of your head. It's very convientent for people like me who eat at the keyboard.
This bad boy is very comfortable but I imagine that it wouldn't fit so hot if i was wearing glasses. The sound and audio quality worked very well. I used it in skype, and ventrilo and recieved no complaints about it. This out of the countless headsets i've used is the only one I would say I would buy again.

Ive had a set of these for a year or so. Picked them up on the cheap and figured its logitech and i wont need to replace them for a year.
Well i was right. They worked, and worked well for 1 year.
All in all, the headset is comfy, loud, and the mic works. Biggest 2 gripes i had was the bass was horrible, and the remote is cheaply made.
Ah the remote. how useful it was. Until it started shorting out. =\
And why did it short out? Well after pulling it apart to check, the wiring inside the remote itself decided it didnt want to be soldered anymore and just kinda hang out and bounce around between the mic line and headphone line. That sure made for some interesting vent chatter.
Will i buy another pair? Maybe if i find another pair on the cheap (under 15 bucks). But for 30 bones theres alot of options out there that dont have cheap wire syndrom.
Yes, some readers will think im being hard on the wiring. And i am. for good reason. Its a GAMING HEADSET. Every time i plugged it in, or unplugged it, i feared i was going to yank the wires right out of the plugs themselves. If at any point it got caught on anything, i felt like i had to tripple check the wires themselve to make sure they didnt break. I shouldnt fear for my headsets safty from small tugs, i never did with other headsets, even cheaper ones, why these?
The remote. From day 3, the volume control was bugged. Full volume i got sound from 1 ear, and like 3/4th volume from the other ear. Why? Piss poor design on the remote. And the whole reason they eventually failed? The remote. First time logitech has failed me.
