Can´t help you there but to tell you to buy something else. Those Everyman Skype USB Headsets are really crappy. It is one of Skype´s biggest shames ever to have developed them. What were they thinking??

I had a pain with these: My audio setting was too high when I was talking to granny and there is neither no audio control nor any mute button on the headset. Talk about cheap stuff!!! So while granny was screaming in my ears I was desperataly searching in the software for a way to make her “shut up”.

No, this is one shortcut that will end up in someone suing Skype for damaged hearing!!!

Yup, for the money I find these to be a great value for Skype users. They may not last as long as a high-end, strongly built set of cans, but the sound quality for Skype is fantastic.

Hi Kevin,
Great video – I too have the Everyman (thanks to Jim, btw) and love it. I spend quite a bit of time talking on Skype and find the headset to be superb.

Thanks Kevin, I was planning to buy these for long gaming sessions with voice chat but these will most likely hurt my ears too…
On the other hand, microphone quality is very good.

The audio quality in the video is quite good, especially for such a cheap price.

I have pretty small ears but I wouldn’t say these are the most comfortable cans out there. They’re fine for me to use for an hour or two, but I wouldn’t personally wear them all day long for tunes or anything. They’re very flat on the ear with just a basic foam cushion — nothing like the old Sony Studio Monitor headset I wore years ago for what felt like days at a time.

How about the comfort? Does it start to hurt your ears after a while?

I kinda have big ears and so far I couldn’t find a comfortable headset yet…

Last one I bought was a Koss SB49 and it hurts my ears, even though reviews on amazon says it’s pretty comfy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N8RK7K/)
