Good choice for SKYPE user

Using this for SKYPE. Works very well. Fits comfortably and has clear sound.
I would recommend it to new users.

I don't do anything fancy, just Skype. Not using any of the supplied software. Plugged it into a new Mac Mini and it worked fine. Seems to autofocus well. I was especially concerned to get good microphone quality and the noise cancelling mic on this unit works well. Not the very cheapest webcam but works better than another brand that I tried, which had terrible mic quality. Swivels easily on 2 axes. I use a bit of "museum putty" to keep the webcam in place on top of a large monitor.

This is now my preferred Skype headset. I was previously using a wireless Linksys CIT300 phone which worked well but did not offer the same sound quality. It's hard to compete with a corded solution that covers both ears. This is an over the ear cushion model but it kind of sits on the ears rather than over them. I have other headsets that are more comfortable because they fully enclose the ears.

ok, so I've been using skype for a while now but through a headset. I recently bought a CIT200 and couldn't be happier. Except for the fact that the base has to be connected to a PC, this is pretty much a full functional phone.

And to the previous reviewer that said you need to add a number to a contact first, I think you need to play around with it more. In order to call US numbers using Skypeout, you hold the 0 button to use the "+". Every call basically has to be +1(xxx)xxx-xxxx if you're in the US. If calling international, you it's +xx being the country code. Now if you don't want to hold 0, you can just use 00 in place of + such as 001xxx xxx xxxx.

Back to the phone itself, going through your skype contacts is a little slow but overall, I'm very happy with it. You don't have to be stuck to your PC to be able to make or receive skype calls.

Voice quality is very good using the handset. The Speakerphone quality blew me away. I was expecting some cheap flat sounding speakerphone but this is top notch quality.

Good price if you buy it online. I wouldn't think twice about this.

I've had no problems getting on WEP'ed or open networks [not expecting to be able to get on browser-authenticated, but i knew that...].  As long as there's a strong WiFi signal, it's got wonderful voice quality -- MUCH better than using traditional Skype on my laptop.

Battery life IS an issue.  Not much more than promised [2 hour talk, 20 hour stand-by].  In fact, i'm not sure i get the 20 hour stand-by.

Like everyone else who's commented, i'd love to see browser-authenticated support as well as expanded battery life.

Easy, easy, easy.  Just plugged it in on Windows 7, and everything was taken care of.  Within two minutes, it was up and running all on its own.  Quality is very good, and I've had no issues at all using it with Skype.

This product has worked for me just fine.  I would recommend the purchase to anyone.

The minor shortcomings can be ignored for this value-priced item.
I have not read the manual thouroughly but:
The mute button doesn't seem to work,
The earphone volume was a little low and I found no way to adjust it.
I did a workaround by making the Phillips VOIP the default sound device in my SKYPE set up.  The workaround routes the ear signal to my computer speakers and the volume is completely adjustable with the windows controls.

I then use the Phillips hand set as a microphone and have great communication.

A very comfortable and easy to use headset at a decent price point. The sound is just a little shy of top quality. The controls on the earpiece are very easy to learn and use. The only real carp I have is that it can only be used with the mike boom on the left side. A real bit of bother that makes it a bit one dimensional engineering-wise. Overall a good buy/performance value. Oh, it's perfect for Skype.

Love these, especially the way it folds up into it's own handy bag.  I find the mute button handy to use as well as the volume buttons.  I have recommended these to co-workers who often use skype for calling.

I brought this camera specifically to do SKYPE video calls and not much else; I was looking for a good quality picture, durability, and a good $ value. I think that this product met all of my objectives. I was told by my PC repair shop that Logitech cameras had a very low rate of repair and was a brand that they would recommend. I've been told that my picture is very sharp and clear by my SKYPE communication partners and better than most PC built-in cameras. Logitech included much more camera control software than I'll ever use, but who knows? I think that I made a good pick for a good price.

I've had my work laptop for about 6 months and didn't notice the lack of a microphone since I hadn't left North America. I was able to use my Android phone for my communication needs while traveling. I recently needed to go to Europe, so I wanted to be able to use Skype to call back to the US. I considered just getting a headset, but I was intrigued by the portability of the Logitech HD Webcam C525. (This was especially true since I trash 1 to 2 headsets a year when I travel with them).

So instead of a headset, I purchased the Webcam C525. I've used it for both voice calls and video calls, and it has worked great. I was even able to give a virtual tour of my house. The C525 folds up very nicely and seems to travel very well.

I can't speak for long-term durability, but so far the Webcam C525 looks like the perfect solution for my Skype usage.

I use this an average of 1 hour  daily, primarily with Skype for Business. It is comfortable to wear and the sound quality is very good. I usually stay within 20' and the connection remains solid (it may work a longer distance, I have not tried). The mute/unmute tones are easily distinguishable. There is not an interface with Skype for Business to answer or hang up on the headset from a call/meeting, and the mute/unmute state is not reflected on the Skype microphone icon on the window. The clickable mute/unmute on the Skype window operates separately from the headset mute/unmute. The headset will last several usage hours between charges. It can be charged and used at the same time.

Just going to leave a review for this because I still use it sometimes. Even though I essentially upgraded to a stationary gaming microphone, I have to praise this for what it is. It's not meant to be high-tier, just something that is clear enough for communication. Works very well with Skype, I just had issues using it to record gameplay commentary (again, it's a small USB microphone so that usage wasn't ideal to begin with). I do recommend this for anyone who wants to Skype with great quality.

Bought one...very pleased! The eye contact greatly improves the skype conversation/experience. Of course, the person you're skyping with has to have one too to see their eyes. Also, as promoted, the sound is very good. I have not you tried the teleprompter feature. I give it 5 stars.

Works great with Skype. I can even go outside with it. I can't do this with my regular cordless phones.

This was a gift for my parents who wanted to use Skype, my cousin uses it in Brazil, and they wanted to be able to see and talk to him and his family there. I installed it with no problems at all, it was a really easy installation, however... it does keep popping up to use their software. I have told my parents to ignore the pop-ups and just use Skype, but they don't. The camera also doesn't sit very well on a thin LCD monitor, so there are always adjustments, for those who are comfortable with checking out what they see on the screen and modifying the camera (moving it backwards/forwards) on or off the monitor that's not a big problem. Its for those people who are worried that it may fall off that it becomes a problem. It has not "fallen off" regardless of the concerns of my folks. However, this particular camera will be coming back home with me because it has been too much tech support for what its worth. However, it IS a great little camera - so I'm keeping it for myself.

Wonderful addition to my computer, able to use with Skype, and also gave one to my mother, who loves it.
