I purchased this to replace my Microsoft LiveChat LX3000 headset when it developed a crackling noise in the microphone after about 1 year. I use this headset exclusively for online phone calls and meetings. So far I have used it with Skype, Skype for Business, Join.me and GoToMeeting with no hassles. Overall I like this headset better though it's more expensive so maybe you get what you pay for...
I LIKE
- Skype and Skype for Business integration work perfectly. I can hang up and mute from the controls on the cord. Putting a call on hold updates Skype/Skype for Business' hold button and vice versa; on Microsoft's own device they were separate
- Comfortable - the LifeChat device seemed bulkier and pressed in on my head more
- Excellent sound (LifeChat had excellent sound as well)
- USB connection with volume and call control connects to the headset using a standard 3.5mm TRRS connection, so you can plug it into most cell phones as well as USB
I WISH
- Nothing to list here - all good!
(Update after 6 months - still works flawlessly and I still love it! I forgot and left it out on my desk last night and my kittens got into it. They pulled it off my desk and fortunately it separated at the 3.5mm jack, so no damage done. The kittens were unable to complete their call but I was really glad it gave way when pulled rather than tearing out the cord!)

In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, along with their team at NASA were on a mission… to the moon. And they took our headsets with them. That was more than 50 years ago, and since then we have continued to enable seamless work from anywhere.

Best choice for switching between computer and cell phone
I really love this headset for a couple of reasons. Our primary use of it is for business phone calls, so having the 3.5mm jack for your phone and the usb port for the computer is great to have.We use a variety of VOIP phone services like Skype, a soft phone, Google phone (hangouts), etc, and it works great with these on the computer. Ultimately everyone would prefer to call the cell phone though, so when that happens you can just plug in to the phone with the headset jack. It works with the Apple 3.5mm to Lightning adapter also. Holding a cell phone up to your ear with your shoulder eventually causes serious neck pain, and using speaker phone isn't always practical.The noise cancelling mic is good with excellent sound quality sent to the other party. Audio quality is good for music, but this is primarily used for work and worn for that purpose. It is one of the essential things that goes on a work trip, along with laptop, cell phone and chargers.
