This headset does NOT appear to be PlayStation 2 compatible (didn't work on Lifeline for example, and did not receive power from the PS2, probably because the PS2 doesn't have Labtec driver compatibility). However it works fine with PC.

Finally, the sound doesn't seem centered, and the sound is also sometimes hollow (not rich) but for the price tag there isn't much to expect. You're better off finding higher end headsets if you need good sound and mic capability for your games or team chats. Also, the Labtec website is useless, so don't bother trying to find support for this product on their website.


Acceptable, and good for its sales price   April 12, 2004

Well: I didn't experience so terrible product functionality issues as unfortunately other reviewers did. I've been using this headset for a year with good results. Not any system crash, the headset is working properly since I ever installed. I use this product mainly for voice-chat applications, and works fine.

What I'd like this product could be featuring is a little bit longer mic extension.

Of course this is not an "state-of-the-art" gadget, but if you're looking for a headset to use on voice-chat applications, I recommended it.


Static Sound with Limited Functionality   February 3, 2004

My set has static constantly in the background. The microphone sounds nice when I record, but fails to function when I use Teamspeak2, the reason I bought it. I'm using Windows XP and my buttons do little but operate the LED's. If I had read some reviews I would have steered clear. The idea was good but Labtec did not follow through.
