Microphone Features:

From Consumer Reports:
"The Labtec LVA-7330 uses a traditional headset to hold the microphone in place. The microphone's audio quality. The LVA-7330--also called the ClearVoice Head Microphone--uses a six-inch arm that can be bent in any direction to ensure that you can position the microphone directly in front of your mouth. The unit has a mute switch, which connects to the microphone via a cord. Labtec's Noise Canceling and Amplification Technology makes the LVA-7330 perfect for voice input and use with speech-recognition software. However, the microphone is good for multimedia audio, gaming and Internet audio applications, as well. The microphone uses an eight-foot cord, so users have plenty of room to move."
