The headset is indeed entirely of plastic and do not really by the design convincing, is in recording and playback quality, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. In addition, was important to me to have a USB headset for separate tone control in Winows7 and here so far revealed no problems. After 2 weeks and use skype a lot I currently see no signs of wear, though one must treat this headset certainly cautious.
Apart from the optics so a good headset for the average Joe consumer in Logitech usual good quality.
