After using Plantronics headseats at work for many years I've been buying the Plantronics Blackwire headsets for home use for general use with my computer and for playing on my Xbox. Up until this set I've always been buying the Blackwire 3225 which I had been replacing almost yearly due to issues with the thin cable fraying or breaking but I saw a good deal on these at Amazon so I decided to give them a try and have been very happy with them. These are supposed to have better sound quality, but I can't tell much of a difference, but one thing I do notice is the cable is thicker which makes this set a lot more durable. I'd say you can't go wrong with either model but if you want a more durable headset, this is the one to get!
