Reddit mentions of Labtec LVA7330 ClearVoice Head Microphone (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Yes ad 700/x have a great soundstage. Great for shooters and games where positioning is key.

They are open and will leak sound but not as much as these guys say. I wouldn't recommend if you like share a room with somebody but I don't think it be and issue with house mates. Its comparable to listening to a video on a phone at 75% volume ( with the headphones at a good for level). Wouldn't recommend of you are sharing an apartment with thin walls/light sleepers. House should be fine.


As for the m50s, they are good headphones but have a bad soundstage. Still pretty good for most people.

Instead of a desk mic ( which tend to pick up background noise) go with a modmic or a boom mic mod. The mod should run you about 10$ and the modmic around 40-50. They add portability and is well worth it in my opinion.

This baby right here. Cut it and use double sided tape. Great sound quality.

Is it this model?

How many plugs does the set have?

Edit: I see it is microphone only. What you want is the mono plug if that's what yours has. It has a 3.5" jack according to Amazon's specifications, so 1/8 is the size you want.

StarTech.com Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone / microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SP0WAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wPWJub1KW72C9

This is the setup I have. Works great. Mic is excellent quality. Just add whatever headphones you like as long as they have a 3.5mm jack which is pretty much the standard, then your good to go. You could use a pair of headphones you already have and buy this mic and adapter and your all set.

Unless you want to spend $100 for a nice mic, check this Labtec out.

Uhh..... You should not recommend a headphone/brand BASED on something that is popular or seen more often.

Example: Beats. End of Story.

I recommend get a cheap clip-on if putting something on the desk is not something viable.

Zalman Mic. Amazon. $4-12. (It hit 4 last week) I have used it personally, never owned it. Works well for the price actually.

Generic Mic from Dealextreme (DX). $1-2 (shipping included) Works for most people, including some VIPs on Head-fi (One did headphone review which I found was amazing)

What is wrong with a simple mod mic? All you need is velco and bam!

Cut the headphone, leave the microphone part on, velco both sides.
Basically the best of both worlds. And this particular headset has only a microphone and goes sold out sometimes.


Anyways, I would recommend Ad700s (ad700 or ad700x). Both do on sale before $100. Ad700 , i have seen $65. Ad700x $90.
