I can't recommend.... Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Sorry Bob, you are a responsible seller with excellent customer service, but this is really a poor product, regardless of the price. Mine are labelled as Logitech units; I can't believe Logitech is having any success with the PC gaming community marketing this inferior product.

The earphones are adequate, but that's where it ends. The boom for the mic is too short and cannot be adjusted to get it closer to your mouth. I have to crank up the mic gain and processor level to get any output from the electret element. As a result the produced audio is tinny at best.

There is also a quality control problem with the connectors. Th 1/8" earthphone plug makes intermittant contact with the 1/4" adapter. No worth the postage to send back.

This headset is going in the trash to be replaced with the highly superior Yamaha CM500 ($39.95 from Musicians' Friend).

Disappointing Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought this headset along with the footswitch. The earphones sounded good but did not fit all that well. I received several reports that the microphone sounded tinny. After about 10 times using the footswitch it quit working. I give it a 2 because Bob did take it back and gave me a refund. But then I was still out $20.00 for all the shipping. Why do we have to pay for bad products??

Good Set Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I use the headset on an Orion I and it works great. Plenty of audio pickup and need to turn it down as to make too sensitive. I like it, very light weight compared to Heil. Dropped it on the floor a few times and held together good. Think it is a good buy for the price.
