The overall sound quality for the audio despite the too much bass was pretty good however I didn’t think it was any better than the audio I get from the analog headphones going through the Audigy. The Audigy sound card does have a treble and bass on its mixer and that’s the way it should be for LX-3000. The fact I couldn’t adjust the bass on the LX-3000 mixer was a bit of a problem. The lack of a treble or bass setting on the mixer means you have to hope that whatever audio program you’re using has treble and bass and you can go into it and adjust those settings.įor me the LX-3000 had way to much bass when playing audio back through the headphones. What I was surprised with was the fact the LX-3000 didn’t have anything in the way of adjustments for treble or bass on its mixer. This allows me to call up either the LX-3000 mixer or the Audigy mixer and make changes.
MICROSOFT LIFECHAT LX 3000 SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
These extra services were all for the Lifechat software that makes it so you can answer and place calls with the center button on remote that’s on the chord for the headphones.Īfter the software installation I noticed on the windows mixer I could select between the LX-3000 and also the Creative Audigy. So I fired the CD into the drive that come with the Headphones and after a few minutes the software was installed along with a few extra services that were added to the computer as well. 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.
