Customer Reviews

The Microsoft headset has its negatives and its positives. Is it worth buying?
The xbox live headset is an essential piece of equiptment for any gamer who has a gold subscription for xbox live. Using a headset enables you to taunt other players, discuss strategies and more. It also provides ALOT of fun for just talking with friends. The headset improves xbox live gaming by about 5x. This headset unlike some others provides a muteing button and volume control. You can also adjust the speaker to where it feels comfortable. The headset provides clear speech to your ears. However, there are some problems.

There have been tons of cases of headsets breaking because of there weak structure. Wires come lose in and cause the headset to create a major crackling noise to other players and you will not be able to hear them. Other cases which hae happened have been more drastic. The headset will basicly cut of what people are saying to you meaning you will not be able to hear anyone, however they can hear you. This causes alot of annoyance. I am on my third headset.

The headset is definitly worth the buy, at least until some better headsets arive on the market.

Avoid fun to chat not to replace
I've been through 3 of these and my brother has gone through 2 it feels very cheap and it can only cost a fraction of the £15 price tag to make the only good thing is when it breaks you can ring up xbox 360 support line (0800 587 1102) complain and get sent a new one free of charge i've had 4 sent to the same address so doubt they log your details.

Well worth it.
The Xbox 360 headset is well worth the money in my opinion and my headset has lasted for ages!! You can talk to enimies, discus team strategy, taunt people and generally have a good old chat with a friend who happens to be online at the same time as you. I used to keep getting killed by hidden dangers, now I can alert other people of these dangers and likewise they can alert me. If you thought your consol was good, it just got better. Having a headset adds a whole new dimension to your gaming experience or atleast, it did for me. This is a great buy. If you want to get more out of your Xbox 360, this would make a very good start! One thing I should mention, the headset only plays voice through the ear-peice, normal game sound comes through the TV still.
