The Cyber Acoustics AC-101 Monaural Headset & Boom Mic is the base model in their line-up, but has some representative features of low end headsets. While this unit isn't terrible, it's definitely a case of "you get what you pay for." You may want to look at some of their higher end models or check out the Creative HS-600 Headset with Noise Cancelling Microphone.
Pros
- Good Price for basic headset
- Earphone is decent quality for a basic headset
- "Voice Recognition" certified for those using that feature
- Microphone easily swivels for left or right ear use
Cons
- The monaural headset won't meet all your gaming and multimedia needs
- The list price of $20 may be correct, but these sell for $15 in my local brick and mortar. So you still get a better deal at Amazon, but you are saving about $1 or 7% as opposed to 28%.
- The microphone sensitivity seems somewhat low
- Durability is questionable; the wires and connectors are your basic cheap grade and won't last heavy abuse
- The head rest arm is somewhat sharp and could have used more padding; put it on with care
For my money, I prefer the Creative HS-600. They are more expensive at about $30 to $40, but they give you stereo headphones and more comfortable cushion ear-pads. The microphone also seems like an improvement over the Cyber Acoustics. If you don't want to pay that much you can always look into the Cyber Acoustics AC-201 Stereo Headset/microphone, Logitech Premium Stereo Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone, or even the Cyber Acoustics AC-850 Silver USB Stereo Headset/Microphone with In-line Volume Control.
If you need an inexpensive set for infrequent use and don't mind the wired connection, this set is worth a look. If you plan on using your headset often and don't mind spending a little more, look into the Creative set or other alternatives.
Enjoy!

I use this with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and it's proving much better than my last two (more expensive) headset microphones. Accuracy and noise cancellation is good. However, I literally just had it on for 5 minutes, and half an hour later, my head still hurts where the...
