I wish I could say something really great here. Ah the price is right 
and they perform fairly well overall.

I have the Gregoire headset. I made mine from the kit version. Initially 
I used them with my Omni-C and Jupiter which have been replaced by my 
Omni-VI+ and Paragon. Generally speaking I found in each case that the 
mic element was too flat in frequency response (not as bad on the 
Omni-C). My voice was reported mushy/bassy which it really isn't. In 
order to get any high frequency response (and that isn't really enoug)  
I have to really close talk this mic... right up to the corner of my 
mouth and as close as possible without touching. Getting the mic 
positioned this carefully is a problem with the 'spring' style mic boom. 
Lastly, I find that the headphones themselves are somewhat 
uncomfortable/hot during long listening periods so unless I have to use 
the mic I use my JPS headset which I can wear all day long.
