microsoft lifechat
comment: very good condition microsoft lifechat lx - 3000 headset jug - 00013 .
the microsoft lifechat lx - 2000 had few professional reviews and mediocre user reviews at a similar price as the lx - 3000 .
it’s not comfortable enough to wear throughout the day, but the microsoft lifechat lx - 6000 is a good, affordable option for occasional 30 - minute calls .
models from our original round of testing, from left to right: jabra uc voice 150 duo, jabra uc voice 550 duo, plantronics audio 648, sennheiser pc36, andrea nc - 185vm usb, logitech h390, imicro im320, microsoft lifechat lx - 3000, microsoft lifechat lx - 6000, logitech h540, and sennheiser sc 60 usb ml .
the microsoft lifechat lx - 3000 ’s flexible boom allows for precise placement of the mic, but the bulkiness of the headset, coupled with the overall muffled sound of voices, kept it out of the running .
after testing five new models in 2018, we think the jabra evolve 40 is the best wired usb headset for people who take a lot of calls. the microsoft lifechat lx - 6000 is now our budget pick .
available through qualified retailers, microsoft accessories for business offers an easy way to purchase our full line of products .
the microsoft lifechat lx - 2000 folds up and provides a comfortable fit, while high - quality acoustics deliver great sound. this full - size, affordable headset works seamlessly with your computer, and setup is a snap - just plug it in !
requires a pc that meets the requirements for and has installed one of these operating systems: microsoft windows® 8. 1, windows 8 and windows 7
l2 lifechat lx - 3000 win usb optimized for windows live messenger noise - canceling microphone leatherette ear pads flexible six - foot cable in - line volume controls ...
this is my second set of microsoft lifechat headphones. after 10 + years on the first set and still working i gave the old ones to my daughter and searched for another set. i thought sure microsoft would have discontinued this product but i located them here and at a better price. i can watch movies / tv on my computer as hubby watches whatever on the tv, he controls tv remote. the headset is excellent blocking out sound with clear reception of what you want to hear .
requires a pc that meets the requirements for and has installed one of these operating systems: microsoft windows 10, windows® 8. 1, windows 8 and windows 7
supported operating systems: microsoft windows 10 / 8. 1 / 8 / 7 / rt 8. 1 / rt 8, mac os 10. 10 - 10. 7
based on these criteria, we tested 11 headsets for the initial version of this guide. for our 2018 update, we found six new models—the jabra evolve 20, the jabra evolve 40, the jabra biz 1500, the sennheiser sc 75, and the plantronics blackwire 5200 —which we tested against our previous runner - up pick, the microsoft’s lifechat lx - 6000 .
optimised for skype. supported operating systems - microsoft windows 10 / 8. 1 / 8 / 7 / rt 8. 1 / rt 8 and mac os 10. 7 - 10. 10
the inline remote of the lifechat is designed to clip to your shirt. we found that this made it more difficult to use than the remote on the jabra evolve 40, which can sit on a desk without sliding around .
sit back with the lifechat lx - 3000 and enjoy the quality digital sound, made even better with total - comfort leatherette ear pads. and when you' re ready to talk, the noise - cancelling microphone makes sure you' re heard, crystal clear .
skype certified means that skype technicians have tested this piece of hardware and verified that it will work properly with skype. their technicians work closely with microsoft pc accessories during the certification process to make sure the hardware being developed provides skype users with one of the best possible experience .

product is sourced and shipped from the european economic area (eea). product is genuine original from manufacturer authorized distributors .
this headset is pretty simple to instal, just plug in the usb cable and it’s ready to go. with a length just shy of two metres, you can rest assured that whether its watching video, listening to music or playing games you won’t have to worry about changing batteries .
for those times when the volume keys are too far away or you need to quickly mute your microphone inline controls allow you easy access to the controls for your headphones .
sometimes the world around you gets noisy, fortunately even then the noise - cancelling microphone in the lx - 3000 can still pick up your voice with remarkable clarity .
whether you have a small head, wear a big hat or have an epic hair style the adjustable strap for this headset allows you to get a great position on your head. there is also a fantastic flexible boom, which lets you position the microphone perfectly for you not too close and not too far. when you are finished speaking, you can flip the boom up and away from your face so there is nothing between you and your screen .
those big leather ear pads aren’t just for show. they are extremely comfortable for long periods of use. they also do a better job at keeping the hustle and bustle of your surroundings out, so you can listen to your music or play games without interruption. it’s also good at keeping the sound in, so even when the brilliant bass is kicking out at high volume you won’t be annoying those around you .

mpow usb headset / 3. 5mm pc headset, lightweight computer headphone with microphone noise cancelling, business skype voip headset in - line control for call center, webinar, online conference, voice chat, music, cellphone (multiple - uses )
i bought these whilst using webinar briefings for my university work. they provide great comfort for sitting through the usual extended lectures and the headphones provide perfect clear audio as well as effective communication through the microphone. i imagine that these would be ideal for online gamers as well? it is supplied with a long enough cable and plugs into the usb socket. it also has an inline volume mute facility on the cable mounted control. lightweight and very comfortable .
i bought this item for skype - out use on an imac. it works perfectly with excellent audio quality. the only pay - off is the volume control controls the mac audio, not skype. this is not something that causes any issues, the volume is easy adjusted within skype, although most users probably have it set to auto - levels. the mute button works perfectly and is on by default when not on a skype call. i use skype - out with a landline number as my main phone method and this item does the job perfectly .
i loved these and dragged them, crammed in luggage, for a year of skype sessions and movies in noisy hostels, cafes and riversides .
used in the office mainly for skype calls and to listen to live online viewings. good clear sound, blocks outside noise also, and the remote control to control volume is a bonus .
they look good and they are comfy. but the sound was horrible. i think they were kind of broken inside. i' ve had to return them

this is an office staple. dont waste your time with the cheaper version as you will end up having to get this one anyway .
okay product, does what it says, but disappointed with quality of sound - a bit muffled, and you have to set volume really high to listen comfortably .
great headphones with perfect quality crystal clear sound for both music and skype. the earcups are a little on the small side if you have big ears but they are comfortable .

... of these headphones. i' m the director of it and purchased them for the fit. they are extremely comfortable wearing for long durations of time, like in a call center. they sound awesome, both audibly and via microphone - - but that' s it... if the microphone works. after buying a stock of 10 of these, 6 have failed and i' m one of the few who are still fortunate to use one of these. i will be quite unhappy when my microphone also fails to operate. in effect, they' re great headsets - - but headphones might be an optional experience .
this headset is awesome. it' s user friendly. the sounds are so clear. i love it !
all i can say is this one works good with no problems. had it for many years and it never broke down .
i' ve bought this headset plenty of times over the years. good for basically everything. but, one problem i' ve had each time i bought it is they die shortly after. as i' m typing this i have the exact pair on my head but i can no longer speak to people. very strange problem i can hear everything but people cannot hear me. if you want a headset for a short amount of time this is the correct one to get .

great product for mmo chatting. i bought 2 and both are still working after several months. set up was instant and easy in win 7
when you first plug it in it will work well, the sound is crisp and the microphone is decent quality. however in around 8 months the microphone will die and sound quality will decease. the fatal flaw is the controller built into the cord. over the course of a couple months the wires inside the controller will loosen and a crackling sound will be heard when the box is bumped or the wires jiggled. several months later the mic will die completely and that' s that. this happened to me twice on two different headsets. it' s good quality for the price but will almost certainly die on you before you get your money' s worth .

best head set for my computer ever purchased! sound is awesome. mic works great .
best head set for my computer ever purchased! sound is awesome. mic works great. the only thing i don' t like is the usb port. now i have to switch manually from speakers to head phones. before when using the speaker plug ins there did not exist this problem. both speakers and head set could be used at the same time. now i have to chose manually which one to listen to .
i was hoping it would be good while playing games but the sound quality isn' t very good. i think the word
muddy
describes the sound quality very well. i have yet to try the mic. it' s probably very good for use with voice chat but that' s not what i got it for. also, it felt and fit well over my ears and on my head .
the mike (& noise canceling) seems to be ideal for teleconferences. the ear volume could use higher strength when teleconference callers are faint, but at normal volumes of speech is just fine. . the ear pads are fine for the my max 1 to 1 1 / 2 hour at a time usage .
sound is amazing, mic is very nice, accurate and quiet. headphones are also very nice for its size and price the only thing is that they are not the most comfortable after some time, but it can be disregarded since mic is that good .
i' ve used this particular model for years. i actually have and use the ones i bought 6 years ago and they are still going strong. i bought these for a friend and she also is impressed with them. they' re comfortable, very clear, with a strong cord which i' ve yet to break. you could do a whole lot worse for a whole lot more money !

the jabra evolve 40 has an excellent mic and decent headphones, and it is comfortable to wear during long calls throughout a work day .
decent sound quality, but much less comfortable than our pick, so it’s not for all - day wear or longer calls .
ray aguilera, who wrote the original version of this guide, has been reviewing and writing about consumer gadgets since 2007. he previously worked as reviews editor at mac | life, where one of his major beats was audio products, and he has continued to write about audio for a range of publications .
daniel varghese, who wrote the latest update, has used many different kinds of microphone and headphone configurations in amateur and professional capacities as a college radio dj, podcast producer, and musician .
for each version of this guide, we spent several hours each week using phone and meeting software like skype and zoom to collaborate remotely with colleagues—a process that is improved by a good - sounding, reliable headset .
while researching this guide, ray interviewed forrest guest, an indirect tax automation implementation consultant with thomson reuters, who spends “all day in conference calls. some are pretty short and some are several - hour marathons. ” his perspective as a heavy user helped shape the criteria we looked for in choosing headsets and how we evaluated their performance .
pretty much everyone already has a headset, whether it’s the earbuds that came with your phone or wireless headphones that you bought as an upgrade. as long as your headphones have a microphone, they’ll work when you’re making calls on your computer. so why spend the extra money for a usb headset designed specifically for such calls ?
the main reasons come down to improved sound quality—both incoming and outgoing—and comfort. if you’re using a headset for more than the occasional call, or for more than 20 minutes or so at a time, having one that’s comfortable to wear means you can focus on your call instead of constantly being distracted by your headset—possibly to the point of actual pain .
the microphone on a good headset will be much better than a built - in mic, so callers will be able to hear you more clearly. you should also consider upgrading if you work in a noisy office and your current headset doesn’t offer noise cancellation so you can hear better over ambient noise; similarly, a headset with a microphone that filters out background noise will make your calls clearer and more professional - sounding to people on the other end .
if you’re using a headset for more than the occasional call, or for more than 20 minutes or so at a time, having one that’s comfortable to wear means you can focus on your call instead of constantly being distracted by your headset .
conveniences like inline volume and mute controls make it easier to adjust call volume on the fly and let you quickly mute your microphone if you need to talk to someone who isn’t on your call, though if you don’t think you’d get much use out of these controls and don’t want to deal with cords, you might prefer our wireless office headset recommendations. for a significantly higher price, you’ll get the comfort and sound quality of our wired recommendations in a headset you can wear as you pace around your office or home .
comfort: a usb headset should be pleasant to wear for extended periods. this means that it should have an adjustable headband (so that it doesn’t squeeze your head too hard) and ear pads that don’t feel too scratchy. ideally, the headset should be light enough that you can comfortably wear it for an entire workday .
inline controls: we considered only models with an inline controller on the cord with at least a mute button and volume controls. those controls should be large enough to use easily and arranged logically, and any buttons that toggle a setting such as a mute button should provide some sort of visual cue when engaged. additional controls to activate calls or a busy - ness indicator were a bonus, considering that those types of buttons typically require specific third - party call software .
mute feedback: knowing when and if you’re muted is vital when you’re on calls with clients or coworkers. some headsets provide audible feedback in your headset whenever you hit the mute button by playing either ascending or descending chimes or a vocal recording that says “mute on” or “mute off. ” since this is an addition to the visual feedback we required, we considered audible feedback to be a cherry on top .
as we wore each of the headsets during work days, we focused largely on comfort. daniel, who wears glasses, was particularly attuned to whether the headset felt like it was pinching his head too tightly, but we also evaluated the general headband comfort and whether or not the fabric on the ear pads was too scratchy. this allowed us to quickly eliminate headsets like the jabra biz 1500 which were very uncomfortable .
the jabra evolve 40 is the best usb headset for people who take a lot of calls at their computer. due to its light weight and well - designed headband and ear pads, it’s the only headset we tested that was comfortable enough to wear for an entire work day. its boom microphone collects sound as well as any microphone we tested, and its headphones sound good for both voice and music .
the evolve 40 is comfortable enough to wear continuously while switching between calls and other tasks, thanks to its construction and design. the entire headset is light, and its wide headband is easily adjustable. the ear pads are soft, plush, and not covered in a scratchy fabric like those on many of the other headsets we tested .
the inline remote of the jabra evolve 40 is laid out clearly so that you can easily mute yourself (or adjust the volume of music or whoever is on the line) without taking your eyes off your screen .
the remote also has a slight grip on the bottom to keep it from moving around much once you set it on your desk. and if you want to use the evolve 40 with your smartphone rather than through your computer’s usb - a port, you can unplug the headset’s 3. 5 mm plug from the remote and plug it directly into the headphone jack (assuming your phone still has one) .
we also didn’t like the headset’s inline remote, which, in addition to being designed to be clipped to your clothes instead of left on a desk where it’s easier to reach while typing, has a tiny mute button, an even tinier rocker volume switch, and buttons laid out on different sides. the layout of the evolve 40’s remote is much easier to use .
the andrea nc - 185 vm usb looked promising, with an aggregate amazon rating of 4. 3, but this headset sounded tinny compared to our picks, and a slight hum was present in the background during our testing .
the imicro im320 ’s terrible sound quality and annoying background buzz had us quickly tossing this headset aside for any of the others, which are all significantly better options .
the jabra biz 1500 has a surprisingly great microphone. unfortunately, the speaker quality is abysmal, the headset is very uncomfortable to wear, and the inline mute button feels flimsy and unresponsive .
the jabra uc voice 150 duo is a less - expensive sibling of our previous main pick. audio has a slight - but - noticeable background hiss, and incoming voices are lightly muffled .
we liked the jabra uc voice 550 duo’s sound quality, comfortable design, and hyper - adjustable mic boom enough to make it a previous top pick, but it’s since been discontinued. it’s still a good headset if you can find it .
the logitech h540 is on the bulky side, so it’s less comfortable for longer sessions. in our testing, it also had an intermittent background noise that was distracting, and muting and unmuting the microphone produces ticks that are audible to callers .
the plantronics audio 648 offers decent sound quality and noise reduction, but its behind - the - head design puts pressure on the ears and gets uncomfortable after moderate stretches of use .
the plantronics blackwire 725, a previous upgrade pick, offers several windows - exclusive features that we’ve since determined most people will not need at a price that’s simply too high .
the plantronics blackwire 5200 was almost our top pick based on its excellent speaker quality, plush ear pads, and well designed inline remote. unfortunately, its microphone performed poorly; one person on the other end of a call remarked that it sounded like we were in a wind tunnel .
the sennheiser pc 36 is comfortable and has good sound quality. its downfall is the mechanical mute switch on the inline control, which causes a loud “thump” whenever it’s toggled on or off.
