High quality Plantronics gamer headset October 1, 2009 I am (Florida) I like these Plantronic Gamer headsets as an "On Ear" type headset. They're USB, with their own DSP controller to take the load off the motherboard sound chip. Very comfortable to wear for hours of gaming. Very good mic, to speak to others that might be online gaming with you. Very durable as well. I replaced them with a set of Sennheiser 350's just for a different style of headset (Sennheiser 350's are an "Over Ear" style...). But if you like the "on ear" style of headset these are the best out there in that style.
Same as the DSP-500's that are on clearance August 1, 2009 Ray (Florida) These headsets are great with 5.1 sound quality and minimal microphone feedback but they cost $61 while you can pick up the DSP-500's which are the same exact headsets but with a different paint job for $18 on clearance from the plantronics website in the clearance area.
Great headset, design flaw June 10, 2009 M. Patterson (Sonora, California USA) The sound and recording abilities of this headset are amazing. The only drawback to this is an addition the gave that actually causes problems over time. There is a volume control and mic mute part way up the cord that can be clipped on your shirt etc. Eventually on all the models I have seen people own or owned myself, with a couple exceptions has stopped working because one of the wires at this convenience switch comes loose within the sheath. I personally after the first one I bought, tie the cord in a knot around the switch thereby eliminating it from torque from above or below thereby bypassing the design flaw. Other then that, I would recommend this headset to anyone who wants to make online voice chat a great experience for both you listening and others being able to hear what it is you are saying clearly.
Best Headset Out There! EXACT same model as DSP 500's! March 7, 2009 TJ (PEMBROKE PINES, FL) One of the ears in my DSP 500's lost it's sound recently, so I threw them out and looked for a new pair online, but had no such luck. Then I read that Plantronics has discontinued them, but what I didn't know was that this headset(GameComPro1) is EXACTLY the same as the 500's, with the only difference being that these are silver while the 500's are black! I was so happy to find this out! And here on Amazon is where I found it out by reading someones review. Anyways, this is really the best headset out there, and is defintley worth the price range of between 50 to 100 dollars, which is the giving price for most all online retailers for this headset.
And just a quick tip, you should DEFINTLEY use the PerSono Software that has the Equalizer settings. It really makes a HUGE difference!! Especially with my type of music (hard rock/heavy metal) using the equalizer preset for ROCK is a must!!! Makes the sound very powerful. So yes, it is compatible with this headset. Actually, it labels them as the DSP 500's when you are in the software, so that confirms it. And Plantronics does not ship the PerSono software with any of there DSP headsets anymore, so to download it, go to the following site:

Hope this review helps!
Great headset and speakers August 25, 2008 S. Sale (Canton, IL USA) I was a little worried about this headset, but after giving it a try I am very impressed. It is great for laptops and desktops alike, and the sound is very clear and flawless except for a few strange but very minor anomalies.
I just took it on a trip and used it for around 15 hours, in 5-6 hour periods, and other than my glasses digging into my ears, they were very comfortable. They worked very well with all movies I used them with.
The microphone is great, and works very well in all games and recording.
Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who would like an all in one solution so you don't need speakers.
