Everyday Randomness

Music To My Ears

That is, my own music! My hubby is no longer stealing my computer to listen to his stuff on my uber sound system. We’ve had a few arguments recently due to the fact that I have a kick-ass sound system hooked up to my computer while he’s had to deal with a cheap $5 set of headphones on his after he broke his good ones.

He was having a hard time playing his Battlefield 2 game because he couldn’t communicate with his teammates without a mic, and he was having a hard enough time hearing them with the cheap headphones. So, this past week we got him a pair of LTB Magnum True 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones with Built in Microphone for a very cool price of $70.

He absolutely loves them! I love them, too, and I’ve already threatened to steal them a few times. The microphone is awesome. Even with microphone boost turned off, he was picking up a conversation on the other end of the house. Mind you, our house is small at about 1700 sq ft , but our bedroom is on the opposite end of the house, and he could hear me in there talking to my sister as plain as if he were in the same room with us. Now he doesn’t have to worry about the mic not picking him up when he’s talking. I adjusted the settings some so that it won’t pick up every other sound in the house, but overall these are some great headphones that I’m recommending to everyone who needs a great pair for gaming, music, djing, etc.

I tested them out with my free aim phoneline, and they work much better than the USB phone I purchased awhile back. I might be ebaying my USB phone and purchasing another pair of these headphones! The headphones came with a VERY girlie mouse that had a heart surrounded by LED lights, but it was free, so it’s going in my spare computer junk parts box to use when one of our current ones die. At least it’s an optical!

*EDIT*

These headphones suck! Less than 2 weeks later the speakers in the right ear started cutting in and out.  TWO days later hubby was taking them off and the right side completely fell off and rolled across the floor.
