Good headset. Not a top end set but cheap enough to chuck in with the laptop. I have a couple of these for work, for all kinds of voip and audio work. Granted not studio level but also not plastic crud.

They average at £28.06 according to your own link. That is just as easy to type as "£25 ish quid" and a lot less misleading.
Comparing them to other headsets is great, but rounding down the average by over £3 on something this price is a pretty annoying rounding error, especially when done just to make your recommendation look more appealing.

Received them today and tried them out on my Macbook. Sound quality (both mic and speaker) is pretty decent.
Works a-ok with the Mac without needing to configure or install anything.
I wouldn't like to wear them for over an hour without a break, but comfortable enough for my <30 mins work video calls.
Pretty pleased overall.

You can get Turtle Beach's for 25 quid, bass boost, volume and bass dials, comfy, last forever (had my old ones for 4 years) so much better than these. Also these average at £25 ish quid on Amazon according to CCC, so the saving isn't that much, and they've been this price and lower before

I have the same model. It gets a bit painful on your ears after a 15-20 mts. Good for quick calls on Skype etc. Not very comfortable for listening to music over long periods

"The microphone rotates out of the way when you’re listening to music or watching a movie."
I like how they make it sound like this happens automatically! :wink:

You can buy the H800 for around 35 if prepared to spend the extra money. Well worth it for the audio quality. Wireless features and Bluetooth capabilities.

Opening post
This not only gets good reviews, but is not available elsewhere at this price, usually sits between £30 to £40.
Seems like a bargain to me.
Says it supports Windows and Mac OS (something I expected for all headsets but turns out not to be the case)
From the manufacturer:
Comfortable design
The adjustable, padded headband and plush ear pads keep you comfortable.
Noise-canceling microphone
You won’t have to compete with background noise to be heard.
Rotating microphone
The microphone rotates out of the way when you’re listening to music or watching a movie.
In-line audio controls
You can instantly adjust the volume and mute the microphone.

Decent price for a wired headset.
