 Okay, I just needed a new headset, I didn't have any good headphones, so I just bought this headset off Amazon the other day, nothing special, $27 USD with a built-in microphone. So I just thought I'd do a quick little review on it, I literally just got it minutes ago. I'm running Debian SID Linux and I just plugged it in and I automatically showed up, so let's go ahead and give it a test. Right now you're hearing me talk through my standard USB microphone that I've been using for a year or two now, but if I open up Pulse Audio, which is what I use for my audio manager, you can see I have that microphone selected under record tab, this is what I'm recording, and I can change this, I'm going to change it to my USB microphone headset. And right away I can see that the volume is lower, so let's go ahead and go into audacity here, I'm going to press record, and again this is recording by default from my USB microphone that I've been using, but again going back to the volume manager for Pulse Audio, I can find my audacity here and I can choose the USB microphone here, and you can definitely see the volume drop there, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to bump this up to about here, see if that makes any better, louder, louder, louder, doesn't seem to be affecting it too much. So hopefully you can hear me okay, and turn all the way up, all the way up, yeah. So oh, because I'm recording, I'm looking at the wrong thing, hope that wasn't too loud guys, I was bumping it up for the wrong program, let's bump this up, there we go, oh that's too loud, too loud right about there, so I'll set this one to the same. So hopefully the volume is good now, sorry it was too loud earlier. Okay so yeah, recording worked out of the box, just again, plugged it into my Linux box, went into my volume manager and made sure I selected it for my record devices, so I'm going to stop that, I'm going to press play on this now, and if I go into my volume manager again, go to play back, I can see where it's playing back and right now it's trying to play back through my USB microphone, now I know you won't hear this, but I'm going to go ahead and select my headset, yep, and I could definitely hear it playing through the headset, I know you guys couldn't. So out of the box again, recording and playback work on the headset, didn't have to install any special drivers or anything, now the headset itself has a little controller on the wire here, so I'm going to go back into audacity here, start recording again, and if I hit the, there's a microphone mute button, I'm going to go ahead and press, yeah that definitely muted it, and then there's the volume keys here, so let me do a playback here. Okay so you could see when I'm pressing the button, you can see it's controlling the volume there, but it's obviously it's not controlling the headset directly, it's sending a signal through the computer, and what it's doing is, I believe, it's controlling the whatever the default device is, so I have different audio devices here, I have my HDMI out, I have my standard analog speakers, I have my USB microphone shows as an output even though it's not, and then my headset, so you can see when I'm pressing the volume button here, it's controlling the volume for my analog speakers, because you can see I have that checked as my default, so keep in mind if you want these buttons to work, you're going to have to change what your default device is, because they're controlling the microphones muting the headset microphone, but the volume controls and the microphone, and the volume controls and the mute button are controlling whatever your default sound device is on the output, so keep that in mind. Other than that, everything works out of the box, so just make sure you have the right devices selected for the right applications, because you probably have more than one sound device, and again, any USB sound device is going to show up as a new sound card, basically. So that's it, and I'll be sure to check out my website FilmsByChris.com, that's Chris the K, if you're watching this on YouTube, there should be a link to that in the description, and I'll also put a link in the description on YouTube to the product on Amazon, and I've only had this thing for five or ten minutes now, so far I'm very happy for $27 two-day free Prime shipping, it's pretty good, so yeah hopefully this is sounding good in the recording, and I hope that you have a great day!
