Is it truly a VOIP headset... I bough one and it doesn't say VOIP on the package. I tried using it in an online class and the earphones are great but the mic didn't work. The device manager in Windows 7 does not detect the headset.

It's VOIP as far as I can tell. I use mine with Skype without any problems. I don't know how online classes work, but maybe there's a way to modify the mic settings in the class' software. Or maybe it's just not compatible with whatever software the class uses.

I'm not a speaker person so I honestly cannot answer that part of your question. I only use the speaker when calling in scripts or listening to vm. It only has 1 headset port.

Do you have a single jack for microphone/headphone? This headset is designed to use two jacks for each function, but some computers only have one jack for both. If this is the case, you'll either have to find a different headset or (the better option in my opinion) purchase a adaptor like the Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter which will allow you to essentially make the headset a usb headset. This is the specific one i use, and it works great, but obviously there are different options. If you don't have an open usb port just unplug the lights, they are nothing more than cosmetic, and will not affect sound in any way.

They claim Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility but I seriously doubt trouble-free operation considering their latest driver (as of July 2010) is dated 2007 (before Vista was released!). Besides, there are many claims of the software being very buggy! I would not buy this unit so the question is... where do we find a PSTN to VoIP device that works with the latest version of Windows (Win 7) and the latest version of Skype?

Not sure if this answer the question but this headset has not individual requirement of its own...it works out of an ordinary sound jack as long as your equipment supports that it should be ok....there are no special drivers or software for it. Simply plug and listen...as long as the device has a headphone jack it should work in theory....but it is mostly advised to check on your particular device manual to see if the device is compatible. That's about it.

I'm operating on Windows 7 and it works great although I will say that we don't have a mic so don't know how that part of it works. But the audio is awesome!

I have spoken to Plantronics. Vocalyst is a 3rd party service that is NOT required in order to use the headset.

Wanted a headset cause is hard to be talking to someone then trying to be typing info. and shuffling papers around for info to someone your talking to. Was the microphone was not allowing me to speak and the other person to hear me, said they could barely hear me. Still looking for a headset to fit my home phone, and if someone does not any issues would like to know what kind they have and where they got it.

So. I got one. Arrived last night. Was able to raid with it for one night and it worked flawlessly. One of the most comfortable headsets I've ever owned. Then the USB dongle quit out on me. I pop the USB dongle in and it keeps popping up "USB Device Not Recognized". Windows isn't recognizing the transmitter anymore, so now I've got a really comfy pair of really expensive earmuffs. That light up.

Hi, I've had a hard time finding a useful headset that will work with the phone and the device at the same time. Every product that I have used has not worked.

I honestly am not sure how that would work, especially if you are using the dragon headset... If the Dragon software is built-in into your computer's microphone, then maybe with some tinkering it may work; but I'm not sure it would because Dragon as I have seen uses a headset by itself.... It may be really beneficial to get in contact with Dragon, and see if they can work something out for you... If you just want to use the Creative Sound headset by itself outside of Dragon, it should work like a charm! It basically downloads by itself when you use the THX USB. I had to go to the main site to find the control panel, but once I did I haven't had any hiccups (truly a small hiccup, nothing major) since and that's been nearly 6 months. It's a really good headset in my opinion. I hope this helps some.

I did have a bit of trouble with mine at first but after I went into sound settings in my OS and updated the settings for the headset to be default and so on and did a reboot, it worked perfect, just make sure you always keep it in the same USB port or you will have to go through it all over again. My sys OS Is Win 7 Pro. Hope this helps.

After searching for this headset (and I found it), and I read about it.. I think it can connect to the Medialink USB Adapter. I got an old Bluetooth headset myself and it works. Just that I found out that sometimes when I use my cell phone with my headset, and then I turn on the adaptor again, most of the time the adaptor on my computer won't detect, until I either A: Uninstall it and then re-install the drivers and have it detect it and then try again. Or B, turn off the adaptor and on again and then turn on the headset and a lot of times that works. That is just my headset. I hope that helps.

I have not had any luck with this company. I purchased 2 headsets with arrached mics and both ceased operating after a few weeks. I then decided to go with the desktop mic and it was supposed to be a usb mic and it was not. I have now gone to a more expensive desktop mic with a different company and it is working perfectly.

Mic? The actual headset? The plug they give you is quite universal so i assume it works

Every Bluetooth headset and/or speaker I have tried to sync with has worked great. With my laptop, there was one time I had to turn off the speaker driver and make the headset the "primary" speaker. Otherwise, it works great and can't beat the price. Hope that helps and enjoy.

I have my headset working with 8.1 and no issues with the drivers. I installed it from the cd that came with it. I tried to get newer drivers from the site but I could never connect so I stopped trying.
