"360 Headset" | 2008-09-13 |

| Head set works fine but I really liked the orgiginal model that came with the game. The original allowed you to move the "on/off" switch with your thumb right by the hand controller. This model while it works fine the "on/off" switch is dangling on the cord that goes up to your head. You have to move your hand off the controller to control it. |

"Not an improvement over the older version" | 2008-09-09 |

| I have had my XBox 360 for over 2 years and like most people I have back ground noise in my house that is undesirable to the rest of the world (barking dog, barking wife and kids, etc). The older version of the headset had the mute switch located on your hand controller and could be switched with no effort at all - seriously, simpler than hitting the "X" button. Anyway, now Microsoft fixes the previous headset and locates the mute switch some 12" from the controller somewhere near my adams apple or whatever - not sure the brilliance with this or how this was supposed to help the gaming experience, guess I am not as smart as the richest man in the world. Anyhow, so with the unit I now leave my mike muted all the time as I don't have time in most games to hunt for the switch dangling from my earpiece. This is my same issue the the wireless headsets but save that for another review. Enjoy. |

"Not bad" | 2008-08-31 |

| Until it doesn't work. It came with my 360 that I bought about 2 or 3 months ago. It was okay, it did it's job until the thing just finally gave out. Wouldn't recommend buying one. |

"Good seller, bad item." | 2008-08-29 |

I ordered two of the headsets off of this seller, both of which came as described. They were shipped out promptly and the transaction was smooth.
However, one of the two headsets I received was broken. It was obvious that both of the items were brand new and never before messed with, so it was the manufactures fault and not the seller.
The headset that came broken has two of the three wires disconnected from the headset on inside. It's an easy fix with a solder gun.
Would recommend seller, and item for most part... Though Microsoft needs to make there products properly so they don't easily fall apart (this is the 3rd time this has happened to me.) |

"good, but" | 2008-08-08 |

this headset made by microsoft is good but it seems to break easly.
it fits easily on anyones head. there is a convenient mute switch on the plug to the controller,a long with a volume knob.
the only turn back to this product is that the microphone broke after two months of usage. i would have to yell into it in order to be heard. my friend also had the same problem not to long ago. |

"Hey, this is a good headset!" | 2008-08-03 |

I'm kind of wondering if the people complaining about it know whether or not that the thing is adjustable! I've had mine for over two and a half years (since the launch of the 360) and it has always worked great and still does. It conveniently plugs into the controller so you don't have to worry about you're range to the console, the controller plugin has a very convenient mute/unmute button so people don't hear what you say when you don't want them two and a very easily findable volume control.
I don't really understand why there are so many negative reviews, I love it! |

| My son needed a replacement since his brother jumped on his old one. Since brother had to pay we looked for a better deal and this is dead on the same headset that was broken so much cheaper, just in a bag as opposed to one of those plastic packs that we all hate opening. |

| On the one hand, this head set lets u talk on xbox live and has ok sound to it. On the other hand, it is made of junky plastic and doesn't fit my head well at all. I have broken it already and i had to duct tape it back together and it doesn't fit any better on my head. The cord is way to short and over all, microsoft has really cheaped out on this head set and it is a big shame. |

"Very easy to break." | 2008-07-09 |

This heaset is built extremely poorly. I've gone through two of them and I took good care of both. It started acting up and my friends were complaining about a strange sound coming out on their end. Soon afterward they couldn't hear me at all. However, I could still hear them fine.
The headset works fine when it actually physically WORKS, but these break far too easily. I think my next purchase will be for a different Xbox LIVE headset. |
