The TL300 is a supra-aural headset (mic + headphones) from Able Planet and is part of their Clear Voice Stereo Headset line that includes the lower priced TL200. This is a standard headset that pairs Able Planet's headphone technology with a built-in microphone that can be used with a phone or your computer. The higher price of the TL300 above the 200 nets you stereo audio out of the headphones instead of mono, which makes them better suited for a broader range of audio listening, such as music and games. Similar to most of Able Planet's headphone products, the TL300 headset uses their proprietary LINX AUDIO technology which they claim offers built in noise-reduction for increased clarity.
