Do not buy Acoustic Research Wireless Headset

[Harmor]

I bought an Acoustic Research Wireless Headset and it sucks:

1. The headset is too tight (make my ears hurt)
2. The sound can easily be interrupted (can't lean back in my chair because of static)
3. Battery Life only lasts about 5-6 hours (I'm on the computer about 12 per day)

I know I should had bought the Sony one. I'm using a table top mic now, whereas I used to use a headset with a cord (I hate the cord, but not as much as I hate this Acoustic Research Wireless Headset).

thanks for the lookout. I bought a headset once that tottaly hurt my ears and made them feel as though they were bleeding, so I traded it back for my money

Re: Do not buy Acoustic Research Wireless Headset

I had an Altec Lansing gaming headset before this one. It was great. I abused it for years until one day I walked away from the computer with it still attached to my head and pull the wire. Now it has intermittent sound in one of the speakers.

I guess I'll just buy another one. I think I may still have the extended warranty when I bought it from Best Buy.


DO NOT BUY ACOUSTIC RESEARCH headsets.

I have one too, its just like $20. At first it was really tight but it loosened up after a few days. The only thing that bugs me the most is all my friends say I'm quiet and hard to hear and I have the volume turned up to max!

Why are you getting wireless sound?
