What kind of quality can I expect from this device while making Skype calls in Windows 7?

Excellent quality, connection goes about 30 ft. or so and it uses the Divx codec

I use it with Win-7 for phone calls at work. I've had zero negative reports from those I talk with - all say it has excellent volume and voice quality and clarity.... should work well for reading/recording books. My wife bought one also for her online teaching work... uses it daily - loves it.

I just received this item, and the manual says it can do skype-to-skype calls. However, I use it only for skypeout, so I have not tried this myself.

They claim Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility but I seriously doubt trouble-free operation considering their latest driver (as of July 2010) is dated 2007 (before Vista was released!). Besides, there are many claims of the software being very buggy! I would not buy this unit so the question is... where do we find a PSTN to VoIP device that works with the latest version of Windows (Win 7) and the latest version of Skype?

Pretty good, but sometimes i get the comment that the volume is low on the receiving end, otherwise it provides good clear sound in Skype. Keep in mind that it doesn't make a chappy connection sound better ;-)

The voice quality from the mic is good. Done a lot of skype calls with no complaints. I've only had it for about 6 months, so it's too soon to say on the durability. It still woks as good as new at this point.

This product works with Windows 7 with Skype. You only need to set compartibility mode for Skype to "Windowsw Vista Service Pack 2". See this link ==> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistahardware/thread/c8f56336-2fcf-4103-ac19-2f30ab5578b6

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

I've owned this device for a number of years and it works fine, as long as you install the Broadcom bluetooth driver from their website. I've used a bluetooth headset with Skype clear on the other side of a 900 square foot house. I've used it with Jam Plus speaker and I couldn't find the end of the range, without going into a pond. If you find one on Amazon or eBay etc, I'd get it. It works fine in Windows 7, again with the Broadcom driver from their website.

Provided you pay the small fee when due, it is fine. I am an original Skype customer, and must admit the first few years with voice and video were not very good. Now with increased cable internet speeds, and vastly improved technology, Skype (owned by Microsoft) is very good. As far as voice quality, it is very good for inside the US calling. International calls suffer a bit from sunspot activity and major storms, which affect ALL satellites to one degree or another. Use of the phone I think you will find, is simple and easy. Hope it helps. Try the Skype video on your computer as well. Good luck, and let us know what YOU think. Provided you pay the small fee when due, it is fine.

Not the best. I would think this is like an .9 - 2.0 mega pixel but does the job. Pretty good for skype.

Yes, my mother uses it for Skype and it works very well. I was suprised by the quality of audio, it was very good.

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.

I've used skype with my headset on a laptop...it automatically set itself as default mic in my case. It's a pretty high tech little unit that I would have gladly paid $100.00 more for and still not been disappointed. I used it primarily for Team Speak however, which does not include video.

I have not tried it on Skype. It records very well without cutting out at all.

I tried it now on my win 8 laptop. Earphones were working great...I tried Skype test service and couldn't get the mike to work ...I did not find the TOOLS on Skype and no time to play with control panel sound on win 8. On desktop with win 7 ultimate it was very good. It did install easy

Yes. I currently use it on my laptop primarily for Skype as well. Works great so far.
