Would this be a useful headset for other PC applications, specifically Skype?

You CAN use it on PC, but I have noticed a lot of white noise when I use it on any of the PC's in my home

They work great on a variety of VOIP programs like Skype, Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Oovoo, etc. As long as there is enough bandwidth for the connection, this mic works great. I don't, however, think the headphones are comfortable for several back to back hours.

I imagine if you are using a headset with it no problem, I am not sure how you were thinking of using it. It works great with any of the headsets, earbuds, or gaming stereo headsets that i have tried, I even use it to plug my speakers in and it does a fantastic job with them. I also use it with my speech recognition program on Windows 7 without a problem.

I did not use it for that, although on Skype I was coming through loud and clear so probably...be warned, my volume/mute feature on the headset was delivered in a "not working" condition (no apparent shipping damage) and I ended up returning this unit.

Yes I use it for my desktop and it works really well. The mic is crystal clear. Definitely worth the price. Has two jacks btw, 1 for headphone and 1 for mic

If your computer has a Bluetooth module then this headset should work that way.

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly. In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless. Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

I was able to use Skype on my HTC using the headset and it worked perfectly. I haven't used it on a tablet, desktop, or laptop though

I can tell you from experience that if you have an interface, you can use this mic on Skype and messenger-like programs. I was quite surprised when I found out you could do that. But that's the same with any mic really.

Yes, this headset comes with a 2.5 adapter, and can be used for pretty much anything from cordless phones, to cell phones, and it also comes with a dual adapter with a mic and speaker jack that you could use with a computer for Skype etc......very handy, and decent quality for the price!

this headset comes with 2 jacks, one for the speaker jack and one for the mike jack. it will match up to your pc perfectly. to use this with other items (cell phone) you would need an adapter that has a 4 prong (or 4 contacts) connector for the stereo speakers and the mic.

Yes, this headset will work with any VOIP program such as Skype, ventrilo, mumble, etc.

No this is a headset for a commercial grade phone system. (I made the mistake of buying it for my computer. )

Yes you can use it with Skype. It picks up pretty well and you can always adjust where you place it in relation to your mouth because the mic arm is adjustable.

Nope, it works well connecting single-plug gaming headsets (and some earbuds) with laptops & Notebooks that have separate mic and headphone jacks. Totally useful for that, it's what I bought mine for and I use it daily.

Yes...I use mine for gaming and Skype. Should be plug and play but you may have to go into control panel and set up the microphone.
