Perfect for OSX Macbook January 6, 2009
I recently bought a MacBook (unicase, 13") and discovered that device has no regular microphone input port. The Planctronics Stereo headset solves this problem by using a USB port for both audio input and output. Setup is a no-brainer: insert into a free USB port. No software installation is needed. OSX will immediately list the Plantronics headset as a new audio device. Audio quality (in/out) is excellent. Excellent choice for those who want to use their Apple laptop for Skype calls.
Good sound and easy to use January 4, 2009
I picked up this headset for use on my MacBook Pro with Rosetta Stone. They worked right out of the box. No software to install, no drivers...just plug and play. They deliver pretty good sound and so far my only complaint is that the cable is really long - so long that it tends to get tangled up on stuff. I don't really benefit from being able to walk 15' away from my computer with the headset on, but I suppose someone might.
 Average Performance December 30, 2008
This item was purchased for use to create screencasts of software for self-directed learning activities. Screencasts are created with Camtasia on a Dell Latitude D830 laptop computer. The Plantronics unit is sufficient for the task. However, I find the microphone too sensitive. Sequestered in a private room while recording, I note with disappointment that laughter down the hall, the building heating system, and so forth are able to be heard as background noise.
 Foldable headset December 28, 2008
I have used this set several times and communicated with others who use this same Plantronics unit. It performs entirely satisfactory- audio clarity via the mic and earphones is quite good. It is comfortable to use. Folding makes packing or carrying it while traveling convenient. I use mine without the USB (~$10 add-on) connector which adds convenience if one can't get at the computer jacks easily. All in all, an excellent value.
Plantronics 470 USB Headset - Great Value December 22, 2008
We selected this product for a departmental need for headsets with both good sound quality and voice recognition at a reasonable price. All of the users are very pleased with this product. The sound quality and voice recognition are excellent, and the foldability enables users to easily transport the product with their laptops. Having the option of either plug or USB connection enables maximum flexibility. The cord is quite long, and comfort is good. We highly recommend this product.
