Pros: Please note that I have only used this headset with the PS3. For that alone it is an excellent product. Volume and quality are fine, and it paired with the system with no trouble. I've had it for over a month and it's still going off the first charge.
Cons: Fairly uncomfortable. The tube that fits into the ear can slip out, as well as cause some pain during extended use.
Other Thoughts: Good quality for the price. Works well with the PS3. Now if only other people on PSN would get a headset.

Decent Entry Level Headset

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: -Inexpensive -Long Battery Life -Light Weight -Snug Fit
Cons: -Max Volume is not loud enough -Microphone is not that sensitive
Other Thoughts: I had to talk at a loud volume in order for the other side to hear me. Also, there is a slight metallic distortion to my voice. It is a little hard to hear while I am driving (my car has a loud engine noise). But I was expecting these issues when I bought this inexpensive headset.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Inexpensive - With free shipping. No complaints when talking with other people. They can hear me fine. Charge lasts a long time. I'm not on the phone a lot, so my use is probably less than average, but one charge lasts me at least 3-4 days. Volume button is nice. With each click, the volume goes up a little. When your at peak volume, it gives you a double beep. Easy to set up. Charged for 24 hours, then had it paired with my phone within 5 minutes.
Cons: Plastic piece which wraps around your ear is delicate. Mine snapped in half after about a month. I contacted Plantronics, and they sent me a whole new setup. They want me to mail the old one back, but I'm not going to because they didn't send a S.A.S.E. along with the new one.
Other Thoughts: I can be up to 15 feet away from the cell before the signal starts to break up. This is nice, as I don't always want to have the cell in my pocket.
