FREETALK Everyman Headset Review
Conclusion
FREETALK and Skype have really delivered on this unit. Skype calls are crystal clear through the headset and the microphone transmits your voice cleanly to the other end as well. The headset, while not really intended for music and gaming performs admirably and pushes the Everyman into all-purpose territory instead of just Internet calling.
As an audio headset, the Everyman is very nice for its price. Although it lacks in the extreme low end (bass), it has decent music reproduction capabilities and sufficient volume to be used as headphones for an MP3 player. Best of all they are comfortable for long listening sessions – and they fold flat; either on the table or against the body.
My only minus (as an audio headset) is that the USB connector and the mouthpiece are not removable, although the mouthpiece does swing out of the way when you use it as audio headphones. I would not recommend buying it just for audio, but it is a very nice “all-in-one” headset that doubles as a decent pair of cans. I had no issues while using the device and the build quality shows that the unit will last me quite a long time.
Pros:
- Great call quality
- Good for music, videos and gaming
- Comfortable
- Lightweight
- Folds flat
- Sturdy
- Durable
Cons:
- USB connector and mouthpiece are not detachable
- No in-line volume control or microphone mute
- Bass is not very heavy (may displease audiophiles)
A well-designed product that is affordable and works well. What else needs to be said? I fully recommend the FREETALK Everyman Skype Certified Headset. A truly great device that is used by the staff of ABT; it has become the “official headset” of AlienBabelTech.
