The boom microphone offers a pickup pattern that rejects off-axis sound, so the parties on the receiving end of your calls will hear your voice and little else from your mic. Smooth leatherette cushions and the headband's adjustable, cloth sling and provide comfort during extended use, while the headset's straight, 9-foot cord grants ease of movement at a good-sized radius from your work station.

Koss SB40 Customer Review(s):
Summary: Computer headset but NOT USB connection
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: The product discription calls it a computer headset. If you look at the picture, you can see a short cord with a connector. Only if you blow the thing up BIG can you see that there are actually two plugs at the end of the cord - mic and speakers. I wanted to use my USB port as the connection. The sound and comfort are both GREAT. The mic takes some practice. You almst have to swallow the thing to get decent levels. It does cancel most sounds other than your voice when you get it right.

Summary: Nice but
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Comment: Good clean loud if necessary sound but the headband is somewhat difficult to adjust plus the major flaw is the microphone. The mic doesn't seem to be amplified at all, low quality, whatever I had to adjust the Mic input to the max in XP to get it to pickup anything. Also I took apart the mic as well, the design is somewhat off, foam covering glued on one side, the other side had a removable foam filter covering the mic. The problem I notice was the foam was compressing the mic preventing it from picking up sound very well. I left the foam piece out. & after putting it back together the mic performance was fine. But be aware the mic signal seems to be pretty low. I tried running the mic through a Belkin KVM with nothing but static being picked up. With the mic hooked directly to the sound card along with the modifications it worked ok.

Summary: Uncomfortable...microphone, decent sound
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Comment: Uncomfortable, below average microphone, decent sound...
Bass and treble is decent, but nothing extraordinary.
These headphones are BIG and the headband can be a bit uncomfortable -- especially after long use.
The microphone [is bad]. I played a few PC games using these headphones and almost no one could hear what I said (yes, all my PC settings were correct). I wouldn't recommend these headphones. Look elsewhere.
