Rating  - from an audiophile to another / highly recommended..
i have a lot of professional studio quality condenser mics with pop filters and many other sound recording audio equipments.
when it comes to skype and internet voice chatting.. i haven't thought i would recommend something as simple and cheap as this headset over professional studio quality audio mics.
this thing shines in voice chatting. It comes with pre-built filter chipset that masks unwanted low frequency audio signals from both the mic and the headset which makes speech very audible and crisp without the need of fiddling around with professional hardware audio pre-amps & filters.
unlike some logitech headsets i've tried before, no matter where you position your mouth in relation to the mic, this headset always seem to pick up your speech without any distortion.
also, it doesn't need any software on my vista 64 bit..
one more thing; this headset might not be what you're looking for if your target is listening to music. it's good, but i recommend Sony MDR-EX700LP or MDR-NC500D (but that's for another review).
anyway., can't say enough good words about this microsoft headset.. highly recommended.
Rating - Great Headset
I wanted a headset for use with Skype. I have USB ports on the front of my computer but no audio jacks, so I decided to try a USB headset for the first time. The LifeChat LX-3000 has worked perfectly in every regard.
I was a little leery about getting this headset because the package talks about Windows Live but nothing about other services like Skype. However, it works perfectly with Skype. I was able to select this headset in the Skype control panel and still keep my regular computer speakers for everything else.
I want to point out that you do NOT need the included software. The USB plug for the headset includes a "Install Software First" sticker on it, but I threw the sticker away and just plugged it in. Windows XP recognized the headset and installed the needed drivers without me having to do a thing. The headset shows up in the Audio Devices control panel and it's easy to select whether I want the computer's sound to come out of the headset or my regular speakers (you can also select the headset in Skype independent of the main audio control panel). I'm assuming the included disk includes Windows Live and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't need or want; I'm glad I didn't have to deal with it.
Functionally I don't think you could expect more for the price. The padded headphones are really comfortable; I was able to talk to my friend half way around the world for several hours and never gave a thought to the fact I was wearing a headset. The mic seems to pick up well regardless of the position (after some experimentation I figured out that chin level picks up my voice well without picking up my breathing). Because they are USB there's less of a chance of buzzing or other analog noise you might get with a phono-plug headset. Also, the in-line remote is handy to mute your mic if you need to cough or clear your throat.
This is a great headset that works perfectly with Skype, and at the price it's an absolute bargain.

Rating  - Horrible Product!! 3 Sets went bad with same issue!
I had three of these sets and had all 3 go out with the same issue within 3 months. The box that controls volume goes bad. You will start to hear a crackle sound anytime you touch the controls to adjust volume, etc. Then you know they are on their way out.
Rating  - Worked better than expected!
Got this for talking over a webcam for work. Then needed to narrate a few video clips, this set worked great. It cancelled out all surrounding noise so I could concentrate on the audio on the clips and recorded my voice while ignoring other ambient noise. Great buy for the cost.
