Does what it says on the tin!

Advantages: Good value for money, effective, good sound quality, comfortable
Disadvantages: Perhaps somewhat flimsy; but nothing much to report

...that much more than the Labtec 242. Speaking from experience, it's probably a really good option for a first-time buyer. Negatives I've heard people saying that it's 'unsubstantial', 'weak' and flimsy; that the sound output decreases and that the foam of the headphones come off. After a few months of use I could see the wear and tear - the ear pads came off, the mic bent out of place and it ended up snapping. However, I would argue a lot ...
...the product's shortcomings (I really don't set a good example!). For about a fiver, these headphones really are pretty good value. However, if all else fails, the product carries a 2 year guarantee, so you won't lose out either way! Uses You can use the 242 for anything from video chat, online gaming, music, speech recognition, MSN and more. It's fully compatible with just about anything you want to do! The fact that it boasts full stereo ...

Review of Labtec Stereo 342 Headset

Good for the price

Advantages: One of the cheapest microphone available
Disadvantages: Noise reduction is slightly poor

If you're looking for a bargain price microphone for your PC I doubt you'll do better than this. With a little searching its not too difficult to find it for under £10 making it one of the cheapest mics out there. The microphone isn't that big so it shouldn't be too hard finding a place on your desk to put it and even if you can't find a space there it comes with a handy little accessory that you can use to clip it to the side of your monitor. ...
...be Skype or online gaming, your friends certainly won't find it hard to hear you. You certainly don't need to raise your voice or even be too close to the microphone for it to pick you up. Where it falls short however is for proper voice recording. If you're looking to do a podcast or perhaps record that demo of you singing you definitely do not want this microphone. While it does come with noise removal built in, it isn't that good and you'll ...

Review of Labtec Axis 301

Labec headsets arent all bad it seems

Advantages: High quality sound an mic
Disadvantages: only one ear headphone

...my damning review of the Labtec Gaming Fx:1 headset and the experiences of this headset put me off buying another Labtec headset. Now you might be saying how can you do another review on a Labtec headset if you never got another one? Well the answer is I never got another one, my dad got me another one as a present :s. He didn't know all the trouble with the 1st Labtec headset but I decided to give this headset a go because it was quite a thoughtful ...
...its "troublesome little brother" the Labtec Axis 711 IS comfortable to wear, even after hours of playing because of 3 things. Firstly it has a normal headphone with a comfortable foam like covering that doesn't irate my ear, secondly on the other side of the Headset it has a padded plastic thing that sits above your ear (most of the time I cant even feel it there) and last of all it is adjustable (good for people with big heads like me) The headset ...
