Others say...
"Great for Internet Phone, travel, MacBook Pro" These fold nicely for traveling. I have been using this headset with my MacBook Pro overseas, and using Gizmo internet phone (like Skype) and they have been working great. Just plug the USB adapter into the notebook, and select the headset under System Preferences - Sound (for both input and output) on the Mac (OSX 10.5 Leopard), and they work. Sound quality is very good, no echo with a good internet connection. The noise canceling microphone works well. They fit and are comfortable. They adjust for large or small heads - via the typical sliding head band.
"Very clear and great noice canceling feature." I am extremely satisfiled with this headset. I had used many others till now but i guess this is the one with a great crystal clear sound. I frequently Skype with clients all over the world and the call quality is so better.
"Great sound, not so good QC and construction" I ordered one and it came in defective. The USB adapter was bent and can't be recognized by the PC. I then tried the direct mic/headphone line-in and found out the mic didn't work. The sound quality from the headphones were very good, though. This is my first time using Amazon's return. It was very easy to ship the defective one back. The new unit arrived in 2 days. No hassle at all. The new one works well. The mic's sound quality is pretty good, too. However, this product's construction is not sturdy. The folding structure feels flimsy and the sliding adjustment looks if it will fall apart very soon! It also pulls off my hair, too. I often casually toss my $20 Logitech around (on sofa or bed or carpet, that is) and have had no concern of breaking it. I feel this unit needs "Handle with care" warning stickers all over it! The sound quality is probably 4 or even higher, but the structure and built can only be 2, not counting the questionable QC. That's why I am giving it a 3, regrettably. One remaining question is that the shipped unit is not exactly the one in the picture. The one I received does not have that good sized in-line DSP module. I do not know if the mechanical structure between the two versions are identical.
"Incorrect Item" This item is not what is listed. While the site says DSP400, the headset is actually the one shown here: Plantronics Foldable USB Stereo Headset (Optimized for Laptop Use) (Audio 470 USB). I'm unsure why the box says DSP400 when the .Audio 470 is exactly what the headset is. The microphone works and sounds great, and the headset is just as comfortable as the real DSP400, but instead of being a true USB headset, it has a USB sound-card that you plug the microphone and headphones into. When the volume on the headset is turned all the way up, there is a low buzzing noise that can be heard, which was not present in the original DSP400. Instead of the digital volume control with digital mute button (my favourite part of the original headset, since it controlled default computer volume and not just the headset) there is an analog dial and a slide switch for mute.
I'm not sure why I was sold a fake DSP400 when the .Audio 470 is the same product, but $40 cheaper. I'm disappointed that the one place I found that was advertising the original DSP-400 turned out to be false. I will be returning the headset and investigating what happened.
"Be aware - New version is different from shown, no PerSono" I just received my headset from Amazon. The latest version from Plantronics is called the .Audio DSP 400 and is different from what is shown in the Amazon picture. The description also talks about the PerSono equalizer software that Amazon says can be downloaded from Plantronics (this was one reason I chose this headset). The PerSono software has beeen DISCONTINUED by Plantronics and is not compatible with what is now branded as the .Audio DSP 400 headset. There is no replacement software. I haven't used the headset yet so no real perspective on performance.

What our customer's say!
"Works great, folds up for easy storage", Purchased for use with SKYPE on a laptop. Works very well for that, plus the sound quality is fine for listening to music on the PC. The nice feature is that it can be folded to carry in a laptop bag. The USB adapter gave me some strange results, laptop's speakers continued to work, but that was probably due to my ignorance. Using the two plugs was just as easy.
"Connection method has changed", I have a DSP400 that's about 2 years old. One earphone stopped working, but I was happy enough with the unit, it's small fold up size and sound quality, to buy another one.
The new model has changed, though.
Instead of a USB connector, it has a regular 2-wire connection that plugs into an adapter, which, then, plugs into USB. While perhaps more flexible, in that the headset can be plugged into a 2-jack system without the adapter, it's an extra piece that can get lost, and I only use USB.
The new model's output is also stronger than the old one; too strong for command recognition on the Mac. Even at the lowest calibration setting, I have to speak very softly and, still, the commands are only recognized about 50% of the time. The output strength isn't adjustable on either model, unfortunately.
One other note: the USB adapter will only work with the Plantronics head set. I've tried half a dozen other headsets from as many companies. They all have an annoying hum when plugged into the adapter. Typical Plantronics!
For me, the DSP400 drops one star for the overly strong, non-adjustable microphone output, and another for the unnecessarily proprietary and easy to lose USB adapter.
"Excellent audio, decent build quality", I bought these after listening to some samples at a website that reviewed microphones for podcasting. The used the laptops built-in mic, these and several others ranging upwards of $200.
The sound quality of the sample using this headset was amazing. Background noise was practically eliminated and it had an almost studio quality to it. Reading several reviews on other sites implied that this was normal performance for this headset. The final test(s) were with recording and chatting online. Everyone I've spoken with on Skype, iChat, etc. brings up the quality of the audio heard on their end without me asking about it. The first two friends I spoke with decided they would order a set by the end of our first conversation. The recordings I've made in GarageBand and other apps have also resulted in excellent audio quality.
I was not interested in a set that used a USB "dongle" - I wanted straight USB. But this has not been a problem and means the headset can be used with other devices (such as soundcards) that have analog inputs and that other headsets with separate mic/speaker plugs can be used with the converter.
The audio quality of the headphones is better than I expected. Casual music listening or gaming works out just fine. As others have noted, the build quality seems less durable/sturdy than a non-folding set, but it allows them to travel in tight spaces in a bag not possible if they did not fold up. That said, I'm confident they will last a long time so long as I continue to be careful and not simply throw them in with other stuff. Overall, I am very pleased with this headset and have had no qualms about recommending them to others.
"Great Microphone", Very clear recording sound. Works well with my voice recognition software and for podcasts and skype as well. My only complaint is that the cord is too long.
"Foldable Headset", The fact that they are foldable, compact and great for traveling was the selling point. The only thing that is a little bothersome, (for me, anyway), that the cord is extremely, excessively long for a laptop. I'm not going far... But, I guess if you have a tower, the length would be perfect. Other similar products sell for a lot more.

"Just What I Needed", I needed a headset for my MAC in my new home office. I use it for Skype, Podcasts through Talkshoe, and Audacity audio recordings. The sounds quality is great and the volume on the headset speakers is better than the headset for my land line phone.
What I have found, especially in audacity recordings, is that I actually need to rotate the mic up and away from my mouth and nose to eliminate pops and clicks from my mouth. That is really an endorsement for the mic since it is sensitive enough to pick up those sounds. If I wanted to sound really professional I would by a pro mic with a pop filter. I still may but this headset is a great starter. I haven't needed to yet, but I do like that it folds down nicely so I can take it on the go.
If you are looking for a good headset for a decent price I definitely recommend this one.
"Very nice sound BUT....", Very nice sound from such inexpensive headphones, very lightweight and comfortable in normal use, but I found that the headset simply would not stay put on my head, and kept slipping off over the course of a couple of hours. Worse yet, if I took the headphones off to have a conversation with a live person, and slung the headset around my neck, the folding center section of the frame would inevitably catch and grab short hairs at the back of my neck: OW! I ended up replacing these for normal use with a non-folding pair of Sennheisers, but use the USB DSP interface from these to connect it to my Mac.
"Great headphones!", I'm very happy with the headphones (it's actually the second pair I bought after I'd accidentally damaged the cable of the first one). They are very comfortable (not too tight, not too loose) and I love it that they are foldable. The sound quality is very good (and I'm not even using the enhanced USB sound card).
"Crystal-clear recording", I bought this headset because it was one of the highest rated headsets on the NaturallySpeaking website. I highly recommend it. The sound quality is excellent as well as the recording quality.
This review was typed using NaturallySpeaking with minimal corrections.
"Works fine, but the picture here is wrong...", Nice little unit, although the model I received, while labeled a DSP400, is not the same model shown here.
The newer model I received is a bit more flexible, as there is a USB adapter provided, or the ability to plug the headset directly into 1/8" headphone out and mic in connections. That might be a plus, but it's also another piece that can come apart and get lost if you're carrying this around.
Have used this on a Mac laptop running OS X 10.5 as well as a PC laptop running XP, no problems on either, no software needed.
