Customer Review: Good with one small annoyance
I like the wireless headset with one small exception. When you mute the headset it gives you a short beep every 10 or 20 seconds to let you know you have it muted. I usually play with it muted and only turn it on when I want to talk. So this is really annoying to me. Other than that is is easy to use and nice and loud so you can hear fine. Voice quality is ok (good enough for online play), but you might have to speak up a little louder for the mic to pick up your voice. But I still prefer this over the wired mic.
Also, setup was easy but a little tricky. Read the instructions, unless I did something wrong (which I don’t think I did) it would not work until I connected to XBox live first (that is in the instructions). Also, when you associate it to your XBOX you first have to pick your channel. Make sure you set it to the same channel as your controller. Don’t be stupid like I was and set it to another one thinking you had to do that since slot 1 was taken with the controller.
Customer Review: You get what you pay for…
I have been an xbox live subscriber for over 5 years now. I never minded the old xbox 1 headset but the plastic had a tendency to break (nothing a little duct tape couldn’t fix). I was surprised when I bought the 360 as I found the new headsets actually went down in quality. They were uncomfortable to wear (reminded me of listening to my old Sony Walkman in the early 90’s). The sound was terrible (full volume was about 75% of the xbox 1 headset’s full volume). And worst of all is that they would continue to BREAK (only this time it was the wires, not the plastic). I actually went through 3… yes ‘THREE’ of the wired headsets before i had enough.
In comes the Microsoft wireless 360 headset. It was more than I wanted to spend but I figured it was cheaper than buying a new wired mic every month. First off, this thing is very comfortable. Anyone who uses blue tooth on their cellphone will feel right at home with this on. Second, the top volume is much louder, making listening much more easier. Also you can tell right away that the audio from the headset is ‘crisper’ and not so distorted, and from talking to others I understand that people will receive you voice as clear as a phone call. The charge will last about 6-8 hours (plenty of time for any gaming marathon) and as long as you remember to plug it in when you are done playing, you should never have a problem with the battery dying. The best part of all is that you will have to really try hard to break this sucker. The durability of this tiny device is impressive.
Now onto the negatives. There isn’t much to say. I suppose for some the volume control and mute being on the unit can be awkward but you get use to it. Also, once in awhile I found that it will randomly disconnect for a moment, though it will immediately reconnect itself. Really the only bad thing to say about this is the obvious… the price. As much as I love this headset and praise it, it did not have to be priced at $60. It would have been more sensibly priced at $40 in my opinion.
Overall though, if you have the money and like to chat with friends online I highly recommend this.
