Barbra, it's worth the money imho. A sterio set of headphones that are cordless and work with skype too. They have a volume control, an answer and hang up button, and an on off button too. Only draw back is the design of the cable, the charging cable is on the same side of the dongle as the usb, and that causes an issue, as both are rather short. Recommend getting an extention cable for your USB with this product. Very good product otherwise. I think the main market was laptop users, where being plugged in at the USB would not be so much of an issue when charging.

Hi Martin I too am in the market for a wireless headset. The only reason I don't use Skype much these days is because I don't like being wired to the PC or having wires hanging around me. So this one appeals to me. However, at that price it would need to be sensational. Would you say it's worth its money? Had a look on some other sites, but can't see it. So I'm assuming it's only sold on the Skype site?
