There’s nothing worse than pacing back and forth dictating several paragraphs of work to my Naturally Speaking software program only to find out that the mute was on.Īside from that, the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 works just fine. However, if you get up from the chair, the volume control is located in the exact position to hit the table every time I get up (I tend to pace back and forth when I dictate). It’s not a problem if you sit in one spot while dictating. The biggest issue I have with the Microsoft headset is that the volume control/mute button is located on the cord that leads from the USB port to the headset (the volume control/mute on the Logitech headset was conveniently located on the earpiece).įor my purposes, the location of the volume/mute control is a small problem. The microphone seems to work just fine as the software can understand what I’m saying and seems to have improved accuracy quite a bit. The headset is comfortable and adjusts easily. After the Logitech crapped out I decided to switch brands and ended up with the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000.

I wasn’t too particular about the brand just as long as it worked. I went to the store and picked up another headset. It got to a point where I retrained my voice recognition software thinking maybe my old profile was corrupt.Īfter retraining the software, rebooting the system a couple of times and wondering why the heck my transcription was going from bad to nonexistent, it finally dawned on me that the headset was crapping out. The Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software couldn’t understand what the heck I was saying. The old Logitech headphones worked okay in the beginning but after a while, I noticed that I had to do more manual editing to my documents.Īpparently, the increase and manual editing was the telltale sign that my Logitech headset was dying.

I used the headset with my voice recognition software. I needed to replace my old Logitech headset which crapped out on me. A few months ago I purchased a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 USB headset.
