Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset

These used to be my companies headset of choice, used to work well right up until the material around the ears wore out, and even then they still worked. HOWEVER just in the last year or so the new ones have been breaking a lot. Microphone connection has broken on each of the 4 headsets we've bought in the last year.

When I have these on I can not hear any noise around me, great for working from home and integrate with teams with no issues. The only downside is they are quite tight and the ear space inside is quite small so if I am on a lot of calls they do hurt/crush my ears a little. The mic is very weird looking and quite long but works fine When I have these on I can not hear any noise around me, great for working from home and integrate with teams with no issues.

Amazing voice quality. Very very light which makes it comfy. Voices sound real with more bass, but not as great for music. Amazing voice quality. Very very light which makes it comfy. Voices sound real with more bass, but not as great for music.

For the price point I didn't expect it to work as well as it has. But this is perfect for all our gaming and zoom/google meet needs! For the price point I didn't expect it to work as well as it has. But this is perfect for all our gaming and zoom/google meet needs!

Been using this for the last 5 years. There's no other headset in the price range which can compete with this model!
Totally recommended for those working from home. Been using this for the last 5 years. There's no other headset in the price range which can compete with this model!

I stopped using them in the office as the over ear part was useless at cutting out any of the background noise and people on conference calls kept asking me to go on mute because the (noise cancelling) was picking up so much background noise and my office is not actually that noisy. The only reason I didn’t return them was my wife threw out the packaging.

Nice weight, I really like the wide band over the head - good for those long sessions.
Very happy with this purchase. Nice weight, I really like the wide band over the head - good for those long sessions.
