Customer Reviews

Buyer beware of misleading product title!
This headset works satisfactorily. HOWEVER, the connection is via analog stereo miniplugs, NOT through USB as the product title states. For an analog connection, the set works well enough. However, for about $10 more, you can upgrade to the LX-3000, which IS the USB-connecting headset.

UPDATE ON 12/8/08: It looks like Amazon fixed the product title, which no longer claims that this headset is USB. As advertised, then, I would probably up the star rating to a 3 or 4 because these headphones work as you would expect any analog connection to work: sound quality that is just "good" (not great and certainly not crystal clear) and mic quality that is only satisfactory for basic microphone functions where recording quality is not a concern.

Like the other reviewer, I was disappointed that the headset did not have a usb connection. The headset also cannot be altered for fit. My headphones broke at the cetner very quickly and now I have a difficult time using them. Stay away from these headsets.

Wow!
Forget those $100 headsets. This one does the job and works very well. The cord length is perfect! Adjustable volume and mute. You can't beat it for the price!

Also, the sound has good bass and can get louder then you'll ever need. Not surround sound -- but who cares?
