Skype Starter Kit - Headset and 720p Webcam (White) Includes Voucher for 3 Months of Us/Canada Calls

I'm shocked at how good these sound! I'm using this set to teach English as a second language online. Works great.

The camera worked fine but the headphones has static and the microphone went in and out. I only had the item for 2 days and was unable to use the headset at all. Very disappointed.

Perhaps I shouldn't be reviewing this yet --- I just got it. However, although this was promoted as USB, only the camera is a USB device. I didn't want to have to plug cables into the sound and microphone ports on my computer - this lack was not in the product description.Although adapters that plug into a USB port and will accept the sound out and microphone in plugs are relatively inexpensive, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go to that extra expense in order to use these headphones.This should have been clearly stated in the description.UPDATE:I had to take a trip by bus and subway today. The background noise in these modes of transportation can be very loud.Earbuds haven't been very effective at drowning out the background noises. Bluetooth headsets weren't very effective, either, and the Bluetooth ate up the phone battery. These Skype headsets were surprisingly comfortable. Their foam earpads were comfortable, and the fit was good.The cord was long - longer than I needed to go from my phone (in my pants pocket) to my headset. With volume up high, most of the sound was blocked out, and the music sounded better than I was getting with earbuds or bluetooth buds.Telephone calls were clear - although I missed the button to hang up the phone, redial, adjust volume, or answer incoming calls. Of course, these weren't really designed to be used with a cell phone. The sound was good. The sound was clear. The drain on the battery was minimal.I may use this headset for phone calls.I was concerned that it would look weird, using large headsets on a bus or train - but I saw others wearing similarly large headphones - with names like SONY printed on them.For the price, these are a very nice value. If I had many friends using Skype (and I'm trying to get some converts), and a strong WiFi signal, I'd be happy using these for Skype to Skype calls. I haven't tried the camera - and might never try it unless I clean my office or have an interesting backdrop, but for the price, even for use as a headset, these seem like a pretty good value.

It worked twice and now I can't use the microphone. This DOES NOT work with a Mac Mini!

I bought this inexpensive set for my 9 year old so she can Skype with her best friend that moved away and with our family. We have an older desktop that didn't have a webcam, so I found this set to be cheaper than buying the 2 components separately. I didn't have high expectations for quality due to the price, but I tested it out while I was setting it up on Skype for her and found the call quality over the headphones to be very good and the webcam image is very clear. Overall, these are great for Skype, Google+, Facebook Video Chat, etc. They're not ideal for gaming or dedicated music enjoyment, but would be fine for kids in those areas, too.

Really cheap and work will... Both of them. But the headphones feel cheaply made

Absolutely junk.

This set did not work with my older computer but the set was ultra cute & of good quality. White is never my favorite color for any product--shows the dirt too easily; however, I can imagine that this would be a functional set that looks good.
