Microsoft have a long history of hit-and-miss peripherals. The Xbox controllers, for example, are nothing short of amazing. On the whole, Microsoft mice are very good, and their keyboards are like a tree of ripe peaches: Sweet and reliable.
The idea is brilliant: create a lightweight, rechargeable head unit that works much like the headsets we're used to from the mobile phone world. In fact, there are a lot of really good bluetooth headsets out there, and that makes it all the sadder that the ZX-6000 isn't up to the jobSound quality is passable, but not great, and while the ZX-6000 looks very good, isn't very comfortable to wear. In addition, the dongle that connects the ZX-6000 to your computer is connected with a long cable - what's wrong with the thumbdrive-sized sticks that everybody else uses?The software is easy to install and use, but the hardware itself means it's a moot point - your money is better spent elsewhere. Back to the drawing board, Microsoft - you can do better than this!
