I’, dying of spinal cord degeneration due to radiation responses in Hiroshima during Occupation. I’ve had IBM’s, then compatibles since 1981. We had a divergence in programming ever since; MS believes in overgrowth,inelegance, and bugs. We used to work with 16KB and do fine. MS also has other tactics and this was one — when I woke up paralyzed in the right-hand, it was, what to do? I could not get the competing hardware/software package since it was incompatible with WIN 7 (as are half my devices and programs), so I was stuck with Win7′s not very grand speech recognition program and this set of headphones wit mike. The mike does not isolate sounds. It’s all or nothing; tower of babel. So I type a finger at a time using my good hand.

I hate this item simply because i mic wouldn’t work so then i thought it might only work with the lifechat thing so i thought ill try it for a little while to see if i can figure it out, now i just found out that the whole mic is broken. I mean the headphone part is great but how did it break when i just bought it. So then i checked the return stuff and it didnt show up on my recently bought items so HOW THE FREAK CAN I RETURN IT!!!! id recomend this to friend but its broke SO MAYBE NOT!!! Can someone help me i paid $30 on this and its broke.

I gotta say, this headset looks comfortable. That’s why I bought it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t deliver once you put it on. At first, it felt like this headset was trying to force my brain out of my nostrils. . . it clamped extremely tightly on my ears! After about 4 hours of wear (during which I probably sneezed out a few brain cells), it loosened up slightly, but it’s still very uncomfortable after 20 or so minutes of having it on.

It doesn’t help that the headband is wider (due to its split) than other PC headsets. The hard plastic touches more of the top of my head than I prefer.

Audio is OK. Music sounds decent through the LX-3000. It doesn’t perform well in some mid-ranges. . . voices and some music sound flat.

The microphone picked up my voice well according to the other people I talked with. I don’t like the bendy mic with the big foam ball. It looks and feels cheap. But it does work.

I would not recommend this headset if you use anything other than Windows Live Mesenger. The “call” button doesn’t work in any other program than WLM. Skype, Yahoo! or AIM users beware!

The controls on the cord are humongous. You could serve a small meal on this thing! It doesn’t have a clip on the backside to attach it to clothing or the desk, so it just pulls the left side of the headset down as dead weight.

Also, you’ll have to be really gentle with this thing as the two headphones come off the headband easily and you’ll have to snap them back into place. When I took this out of the package, that is exactly what happened. I don’t feel like I got what I paid for. Assembly seems very cheap.

I can’t recommend this headset. Maybe the next one (LX-3001?) will be better.
