I have Windows 7 and had no problem with this headset. I just plugged it into the computer and it worked beautifully. I needed to do nothing else.

Yes I use it on my windows 8.1 system with headphones. Have not tried anything else yet.

Yes. I just plugged it in and it is working with Windows 8 almost perfectly. For some reason. Windows 8 also thinks it's a speaker (output) device. And so a quick setting change in the control panel to set my normal speakers to "Default" and everything is perfect now.

It is not the operating system; e.g. windows XP, 7 or 8 that matter. if your computer has a jack for ear phone and microphone then you can use this headset and to the best of my knowledge ALL computers are equipped with both.

Yes, It Works in Windows 8 and can control volume, skip and pasue. It's very easy to install and works great.

I had problems with my mic on Windows 7. Works fine on Windows 8. There could be a ton of reasons though. You need it set as default in your sound setting and typically selected in the program you are using too. Also, if the mic boom is straight up, it turns the mic off.

Logitech's FAQ implies that it does. Additionally their software is available for Windows 8, so I'm going to conclude that it will work with Windows 8

yes it will work with Windows 8. But if you upgrade to Windows 8.1 your Mic on the camera well not be in the highest quality. I have been waiting 3 months for Logitech to fix this problem.

I have an Acer Aspire E1-510-2500 and it can not even see the headset under Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9879).

I do not know about Windows 8 because I still have Windows 7, but I was able to hear the sound through the computer.. To do so with this mic you just have to adjust the setting in the cakewalk software and the computer..

Yes, it does, and an indicator on the base showing mute status. When I was using it with Windows XP, it fully integrated with Microsoft Lync, as well; but under Win7 x64, the mute on the headset is independent of Lync mute status (both work, but neither knows what the other has done). That can be a plus -- nobody else can un-mute you.

NO! I just called Gear Hear (the manufacturer} and they stated that it is NOT compatible with windows 10.

I'm using mine with a Windows 7 system. I don't know if it will work with Windows 8, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

yes they do work on windows 8. All I did was plug in the headphones and my computer detected . I never ran the cd that came with it cause my computer has no cd drive.
