Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-2000

The fact that it collapses isn't overly amazing, however when I need a microphone for my laptop (Because I hate using built in/desktop microphones) it's nice to be able to pack it up in a smaller package. But since that it prevents it from not being...

I've used this on a daily basis for about 2 years. A couple months ago the right earphone went out and now the left one cuts in and out when I wiggle the cord that goes into the left earphone. It doesn't feel like pillows on your ears, but I wear these...

It doesn't adjust

Clamps onto ears better than fake earings

So happy I had sugru in the fridge. Cause I destroyed the packaging.

Plays sound, has a microphone. Works as advertised! Collapses at three points into pocket sized headset. Cause you know - you're gonna wanna take painful ear-clamping headset with you EVERYWHERE

Provides a death grip on ears, immediately inducing physical pain. Prolonged use leads to sore, throbbing, swollen ears. No technological product should cause physical pain. Collapsing mechanism is incredibly awkward and flimsy. Don't buy these

A Decent Microphone Headset Combo

The headset doesn't fit that great on my head, but I just use the microphone portion of it anyway, so I collapse the headphones in and turn it upside-down and it makes a perfect standing microphone on my desk. It picks up voice really well. I wouldn't...

Compact Design,Great Sound Quality,Quality Microphone

Flimsy Hinge Mechanism,Not Very Adjustable,Uncomfortable
