Really terrible product

Customer Rating:
Well, i was so excited when i got the package. inserted the installation disk and i was prompted that installation was blocked due to compatibilty issues. I am running windows 7 ultimate and a microsoft product is incompatible with it. NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE CURRENTLY. What do I do? I am so very upset. Beware of this product.

Outstanding

Customer Rating:
Hey these are outstanding, does everything they say they do. I didn't even have to install the software to get them to work for my online games and chat. Haven't tried Windows Live Messenger but even if I need the software for it, that is to be expected. I haven't tried any internet phone calls yet so i can't comment on that. Friends in gamechat and on vent complement me on my clear voice. The price here at Amazon was great because some places I have seen want as much as $40.00 for them.
Good, solid, nice sounding, comfortable (at least for me) and easy to use. I do wish the inline volume control would have had a clip on it.

so far so good

Customer Rating:
well so far so good with this product. i have been using it for a while now and the only complaint i have (and i dont know if it is just that i have a bit bigger ears lol), but the ear pad gets to hurting after a few hrs of use. they were soppose to set completely around the ear and one sets on the ear instead. and thats the only complaint from me, other than that they dork all great for gaming and chatting.
as far as using them on yahoo chat though they automatically turn themselves down even if you turn that option off so i would assume its actually in yahoo not the headset. due to the fact that that is the only one that they have any problems with!
so i say to yahoo hay plz fix the problem lol.

Customer Rating:
LISTEN YOU GUYS DO NOT! WANT TO BUY THIS....I BOUGHT THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE AND AFTER ABOUT A MONTH IT JUST STARTED TO CHIP IN AND OUT. THEN A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THAT IT JUST MAKES A VERY LOUD CRACKING NOISE. LIKE YOU CANT WEAR IT WITHOUT SUFFERING SOME KIND OF EAR INJURY UNLESS THE MIC IS MUTED. DO NOT BUY THIS I SERIOUSLY BEG YOU GUYS. SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SOMETHING ELSE. THEY SHOULD BANN THE DISTRIBUTION/SALE OF THIS ITEM!ITS TERRRRRIBLLE!

Not Recomended

Customer Rating:
Foremost, this product falls short for having no level mixer for treble and bass. This is standard fare on all audio equipment these days and it's absence is inexcusable**. People's personal taste will decide whether the factory settings sound good or not, but we shouldn't have to settle for factory settings when all of the competitors have level mixers.

**USB headsets have their own sound card in the cable dongle. You cannot use your computer's level mixer to adjust these headsets!

They feel very durable and are reasonably comfortable. They're pretty tight on the ears, but I think they would "break-in" after some time.

I returned mine to the store (luckily didn't buy on amazon). I'm certainly no audiophile and I currently use an $8 headset from Rosewill. But the factory balance on the Lifechat is really horrible. It's too bassy and boomy, and sounds really muffled. The balance ruins music and movies, and makes gaming very difficult (you can't pick out key sounds, like someone sneaking up behind you.)

They're pretty much only good for voice chatting...but why settle for just that?
