FREETALK Everyman Headset Review

Impressions

First off, the main purpose the Everyman was designed for, Skype. Skype calls were clean and crisp right throughout. There was no crackling, hissing or popping like I have experienced with other headsets. There was little or no background noises. The microphone picks up the voice quite easily and the person on the other end hears me clear as day, even at night.

While the microphone ‘jack’ is hard-wired to the USB connector, the earphones have an optional 3.5mm jack that plugs in to work via USB or into any regular 3.5mm port. This gives the user the flexibility of just having one headset for everything, Skype calling, music on your MP3 player and gaming, whether at home or on the go.

Speaking of on the go, the lightweight, folding and twisting design allows the unit to fold flat and to be slid into the side of a bag to rest flat and not get squished among other things we tend to carry around. This headset is great for travelers.

The Everyman has definitely become my mainstay. I use it for calls, use it on my phone or MP4 player for music and videos and also for gaming when everybody in the house is yelling at me, “Turn that down!”

While some reviewers hustle to get their review out on launch day, we at ABT sometimes like to take our time and get to know the product and really use it for a while, just as any other end-user. That way we are absolutely sure about what we are telling our readers. The ABT staff is scattered all around the globe and we have spent a LOT of time with these headsets.

The first impression was good and the lasting impression is superb. After using the Everyman for a couple of months, it has even replaced my bigger, heavier-playing headphones. I particularly like the soft padding it has and flatness of the headphones themselves. They feel very comfortable on the ear. Anyone purchasing this item will be quite pleased with it. It really is a cool little gadget.
