It's an okay product. My biggest complaint is battery life. Its way to short.. and takes way to long to charge. (I have the USB version, I do not know if this makes a difference in charge times) It would be nice if I had the option of having a headset that mounted over the head rather than to the ear, and could plug a couple AA Rechargeable batteries in, like I can do with the 360 controller..except the batteries would be up top or maybe even on the left side of the head set as to balance it out and not bring all the weight onto the speaker/mike side..

I purchased this to replace a wired headset that came with my Xbox 360. I thought that this would be perfect for me but it turned I was wrong. The device works practically enough suffers from constant feedback. When I play a game with I have to turn my TV way down so as not to annoy the other players(and sound like an a**). Also it only gives me a couple hours of usage time. When I was in a marathon COD4 Modern Warfare event, I had to stop chatting, go silent and recharge the headset 2 and a half hours in. Even when it is done recharging it is not advisable to take it off of the cable because the battery will still wear down when not in use. The earpiece feels kind of funky when you put it on the first time but you do get used to it and it becomes rather comfortable. Ultimately though, it isn't worth the higher price for this poorly thought out gadget.

If you read most of the negative reviews look at the date. Most of them are from 2006. This is 2009. Yes there are a few from 2009. The thing about the headset is it does work, in fact it works very well. I read a lot or reviews who were stating that they could not get it to sync up and buzzing sounds and drop outs. I can tell you this I do not have any of these issues. Keep in mind it runs on a 2.4 gzh wave the same as oh cordless phones, wireless routers, etc...so people maybe having problems with that. Me I have a wireless network and no home phone, just use cell and this headset works awesome. The mute button works (silver button that just has to be pressed 1 time), I can hear every one and they can hear me. I know that in Left 4 Dead on the wired headset (which I just got my xbox for Christmas of 08) I had to some times have to have the mic litarly in my mouth for me to be heard or speak very loudly. Not the case here. It picks up my voice. Also this is very light weight. You almost forget you have it on. It does have a tendency if it's not on your ear right you can feel it which is why I gave this 4 stars. I would have given it a 4 1/2. This is a 5 star headset. Do yourself a favor, I know it's as much as a game, but it's worth it.
