Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 USB Connector Circumaural Stereo Headset

Pros: Absolutely love this headset. It has by far one of the best microphones I have ever seen on something less than $100. The ear pads are soft and do not cut circulation like some over ear headsets. The volume buttons in line are a nice touch.

Cons: I understand why they have the mute button on the cord but it is very easy to put it down, pick back up, and find that you muted yourself by accident ("hey, can you hear me? hello? oh, right").

But honestly that con is barely even a negative.

Other Thoughts: As expected, Microsoft peripherals are 100% top notch. This one is no exception.

Pros: Good sound, good mic sound recongnition, USB port. Can also seperate video calls and teamspeak to have it play from your headset while the computer sound comes from your speakers.
Also, I have no echoing or computer sound bleeding into my conversations.
Headset sound can be turned up and down on the headset cord independent of the computer, and the mic can be muted in the same way.
Also, this is inexpensive compared to many pieces I have seen, and is worth more than its price.
Overall, this is the best mic and headset with the lowest hassle I have ever worked with.

Cons: None. Works like a charm. No issues at all.

Other Thoughts: No sound canceling, but that isn't a big deal, it is less than $30

Pros: While they're working, they're wonderful. Mic comes through crystal clear on the other side, everyone is happy. Sound quality isn't the best, but I didn't buy them for that anyway.

Cons: They stop working randomly. And then windows refuses to recognize them for the first 20 times I plug them back in. Really, really annoying, and it happens often. Maybe it's a defective set and I'll have to get them replaced, but I've only owned them for two days now and it's happened six times.

Other Thoughts: Mic quality for this price is superb, sad to see it's discontinued.

Pros: Had this for a year+ and it is standing up to high use. I have had a few other headsets and they don't seem to last long.

Cons: None yet

Other Thoughts: Great features - good product

Pros: Decently comfortable. Sound is fine. Mic is fine (skype a lot, everyone thinks I sound loud and clear with little bg noise). Price is awesome. Very sturdy and well built, don't expect any problems.

Cons: Outside of my ears get a bit sore if worn for LONG periods of time (many hours). It actually blocks outside noise pretty well, which I dislike (feels weird). For this reason, I wear it with only one side covering my ear, and the other is to the side of my head. I do this when I don't need stereo.
USB is slightly annoying, because you can't just plug/unplug it. Plugging it in adds a sound device to your system, and then you need to go under sound settings and set that as primary each time. Didn't think of it when I bought it.

Other Thoughts: Most of these cons are my fault, so I only docked 1 egg. It is as advertised. Good product for the price.

Pros: Relatively cheap (price), cover ears, good sound quality for both input and output, comfy.

Cons: Static - they do not give too much and are a little stiff.

Other Thoughts: Good buy

Pros: It works, sort of
Comfortable

Cons: I'll be playing a game with a friend, then all of a sudden, it stops picking up my voice. The only fix is to unplug it and plug it back in. When I do that, my friend can hear me, but the game's audio completely cuts out. The only fix for this is restarting the game, which I can't really do in the middle of an online game.

Other Thoughts: If you need a mic for gaming, get something else. If you need one just for talking, this is perfectly fine.

Pros: Great low, mid-range, and high tones.

Comfortable ! (Average Head)

Microphone produces real life sound -according to RL friends over Vent

Did I mention...Great low, mid-range, and high tones !!!

Cons: Somewhat big box for Mute, Volume adjustment, Life-Chat features. Although for the price and the sound quality...who cares.

Other Thoughts: This will be my third set of this exact model. Not Microsoft's fault, solely my children are to blame but who cares, ONLY $30 for this !!!

The companies that make the expensive gaming headsets should take a look at these and copy it !

Pros: Audio quality is clear as a bell.

Cons: Make my ears hurt after about a half an hour of wearing it.

Pros: great bass, clear crisp sound, with minimal crackling.

Cons: gets somewhat uncomfortable on the ears after long periods of wearing.
