An affordable, high quality headset for your Skype calls.

“So you can hear me?!” I squealed in unbelief for the fifth time.

“Yeessss,” my colleague was pretty exasperated at this point.

Considering I’ve burned through 3 supposedly Skype-certified headphones while telecommuting for the last three months from Sweden, this Logitech is a breath of fresh air.

It actually works.

Right off the bat, you’ll notice its sturdy quality. Its noise canceling microphone ensures optimal communication. Inline volume controls allow you to quickly adjust sound settings.

Though it looks bulkier than it actually is, soft form earpads make it very comfortable and it fits snugly around your head.

I’ve only tried it with Skype, but it is also compatible with Yahoo, Windows Live, and AIM chat.

So here’s to no more embarrassing dropped conference calls. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this one doesn’t end up atop the pile of headset carcasses.

Price: $15.95 | BUY
