Reddit reviews Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset (JUG-00013)

Hooking up astro's to the computer is super easy if you have the 2013 mix amp. All you need to do is plug a jack from the livestream port into your computers mic socket. Then, in the mp3 port, plug a jack into that and connect it to your PC's headphone port.

You will need to buy a mic though, otherwise if you use the astro mic to talk, your team/friends will hear themselves and your game. You can buy decent mics for under £20.

Below, I will link one which I use to use and can guarantee amazing quality:

I thought I would be a nice guy and give you both ebay and Amazon choices, as well as giving you the correct website (.co.uk or .com) to buy from :)

Hope this helped :)

Modest is relative.

Since I don't know your budget, my work uses them (we have a phone system through our computers) and they're awesome!

I bought one for my work at home as well.

1.) Yes. <--Perioid

I can tell you though, even a low cost headset will work, I used to use this and sound is fine/mic is fine.

this one has never failed me over 5+ years great sound quality too.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00906E03I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The microphone and headphones work fine for me.

I use this headset, it works pretty well.

Edit: just saw that you're not looking for a headset, my bad, but there are plenty of affordable options on amazon...you don't like anything on there?

They aren't the best, or the most flashy, but I've been using these for over 5 years, and I just keep buying a new pair every year or two when the mic gives out. At $20, they're definitely budget if that's what you're going for, but they're a pretty good headset for the price. The original model I bought had microsoft livechat which I never used, but this model is cheaper and has that useless button removed.

This Microsoft headset meant for Skype calls. I use it for gaming, but the sound and mic quality are great, the price is reasonable, and I bought it 3 years ago and it still works just fine.

You weren't kidding about the price man. I'm seriously considering buying a pair tonight. Do you own a pair yourself? I remember my last headset made my ears sore (from the weight) after a couple of hours. Do you have that experience at all?

I was thinking of getting a cheaper headphone with mic or standalone mic (<$30) to use. I might start joining online DnD sessions, but I'm concerned my laptop's internal fan may be too noisy for the built-in mic. My friend commented on that a lot in the past. If I'm looking for a mic, it's for casual use.

Would something like these work?

Does anyone know about the durability, quality and ease of use of these? If not one of these, does anyone have recommendations?

Alternatively, does anyone know how to stop the internal mic from picking up fan noises?

I've found that a good rule of thumb is the 0.82g of protein per lb of bodyweight (not lean bodyweight, total bodyweight). Incidentally, this roughly works out (for me) to the ketogains.com suggested 1.0g per lb of lean mass since my body fat % lines up just right. So I eat about 150g of protein per day on workout days, maybe a bit less on rest days.

This goes against some of the "meathead logic" you here in gyms about 1g per lb, but there are plenty of studies indicating that is more than is necessary at any level of intense exercise. There is a good summary of the research in an easy to read format available from bayesianbodybuilding.com.

You'll run into plenty of people that will say eat 1g per lb of body, but I think the science suggests a bit lower is optimal. And that's important because your body will convert the excess into blood glucose, causing an insulin spike, and dropping you out of ketosis, etc.

As for IF, I don't do it when I'm trying to gain muscle for precisely the reasons you suggest. I can't eat (or digest) 3,000 calories in a four or even eight hour window. Some people can, I can't. So when I'm trying to bulk (as I am now as of January 3rd), I eat five to six meals (or snacks) a day starting at 6:00am and ending at 7:30pm or so. It's the only practical way I can manage more than 2,400 calories per day without just losing it through diarrhea. YEMV.

Honestly, not trolling you.... Get these Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-3000 $21.99 (45% off)

These are the best "gaming" headset I've ever used and durable to boot. They've been abused, stepped on, and dropped and are still going, had them for 3 years now.

I've got a huge head (it creates it own weather!) and these are comfortable for hours, don't notice them at all.

Just ordered another for use at home so I can rotate the old ones to work for web meetings band music.

I use this, no complains
