Rating: - Don't Buy This
What can I say, poor mic volume, noise in sound, does not fit my ear well. Pure waste of money and time.
Rating: - TRUST ALL THOSE NEGATIVE REVIEWS - THEYRE CORRECT
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATINGLY DISAPPOINTED- ESPECIALLY W/ THE MICROSOFT NAME ATTACHED. WOULD EXPECT IT TO PLUG AND PLAY- NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WORKING THAT WAY. MAYBE PLUG & EASY CD INSTALL- NOPE NO HELP FROM CD INSTALL. INSTRUCTION BOOK- AGAIN NO HELP EXCEPT FOR THE TREES SAVED FROM LACK OF MATERIAL.
i GIVE UP TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK ON 2 SEPERATE COMPUTERS AND O/S VISTA & XP. I HOPE OFFICE DEPOT TAKES BACK THIS $70 AND ALOT OF WASTED TIME HEADSET. DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY
Rating: - Won't work on MacOS
I grabbed this in a retail store on a whim. I needed a USB headset for Skype on my Mac, and figured that a wireless one would be nice. MacOS X is pretty good at recognizing new USB devices, even those not specifically advertised as working on a Mac.
No joy -- the Mac doesn't recognize the Lifechat. The device ships with a Windows-only installation disk, so no help there. Mac users, move along. Nothing for you here.
Rating: - Cool idea, not well executed
I really like the concept of a wireless headset. I have not come across one that works anywhere near as well as a cheap wired headset performs. I tested this headset for use with Skype. Result - Avoid buying this product.
The setup was easy. I downloaded the installation instead of using the CD. I didn't install Live Messenger even though Microsoft strongly suggests I do... I could use the headset right away without making any changes in Skype or in the headset's software.
Using it - The design is okay. It fits well as long as you don't have earrings on. If you wear earrings that are any bigger than a stud, this headset won't fit around your ear. The call button is useless unless you use Live Messenger. I thought the power on button was a pain - really small for someone with big fingers.
Sound Quality - Here's where this product becomes junk. The quality of audio is so poor that this product should not be considered for use as a phone headset. My friends had a hard time hearing me and my voice come through not sounding like me. I could turn the volume up to hear them but the quality wasn't good.
