I like devices that you just plug in and they work without installing loads of software and clearly these headphones would in fact need software installed in order to work. XP did see the head phones and come up with a dialog box telling me it had detected them but I couldn’t get them to work. The first thing I did just to see what would happen was plug LX-3000 in without installing the software just to see if I could get any audio from them. It’s like having a pair of ear muffs on and for me any head phones that completely cover the ears produce the same sweaty results. When you unpack the head phones you can see they have the ear cups that cover your ears completely and while this does block out external noises it also makes me sweat. Today I compare the LX-3000 to my old Creative Audigy and an analog Logitech headset and see if there is in fact a big difference between the two. See the Video version of this Review here.įirst a big thank you to Microsoft for providing the LifeChat LX-3000 for this Review.įor quite a while now I have been hearing how these USB headsets are better than the standard sound cards and headsets because the USB ones are all digital and there for should be cleaner sounding.
