I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

At first, my ears were very sore from pressure. But after about a week they became absolutely familiar and invisible.
Due to the insufficient length of the wire, I had to buy a USB extension cable.
Maybe the mini-jacks are cheaper and the sound quality is better, but I overpaid for USB because I was afraid that the mini-jacks would quickly loosen. As a result, the trouble came from where they did not expect - the wire twisted from daily taking off and putting on.
Bought in winter 2022, started breaking down in summer 2022.
Now I bought new ones (Logitech PC Headset 960 USB), and despite the fact that they have the same frequency range, the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 definitely wins in sound quality, due to the fact that they almost completely provided sound isolation and immersion.

If the wire was made of a softer material, I might buy them again. Because it wouldn't have to)

Pros

+ Good sound. Large ear cushions and sufficient frequency range provide complete immersion in music. + Excellent microphone. The voice writes quite clearly, especially considering that this is a headset. + Mute button with indicator. + Volume control buttons. + USB connection guarantees that the sound will not be spoiled by the fact that the inputs are loosened.

Cons

-After two and a half years of daily use, the wire twisted and cracked, from which individual frequencies began to disappear when the head was tilted. fatal minus. -A short wire that did not allow you to lean back in your chair if you connect headphones from the back of the system unit. Bad minus. -Large volume control panel. A small inconspicuous minus - I had to constantly correct the panel if it slipped down, as it is quite heavy and outweighs the headphones on the left ear. But this ritual very quickly became a habit.
