I chose it because I was looking helmet robustness, the insulation. The problem with USB headsets is that there sometimes have trouble with "crash" at the operating system. Using Windows 7 64 bit with an Asus X72J I had bug problems when I plug the headset. Further, with Skype for example, the helmet does not always work, this is "rowing" Windows 7. In summary: strengths: audio, external noise insulation quality (you can almost hear nothing and can be focused on his discussion VOIP or if we play quality microphone, felt making quality (the helmet seems well designed and guaranteed 3 years) Weaknesses: with some software bugs, not least as Skype (it works half the time, or very random), so it works, but not always. I recommend it anyway.
