Cheap Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Customer Ratings:

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.

Pros:

-Comfortable

-Light

-Modern Design

-Crisp audio in/out

-Rechargeable Battery (6-8 hour life)

-Surprisingly Durable

Cons:

-Awkward volume controls

-can occasionally 'cut out' for a second or two

The 360 Wireless headset isn't crisp clear audio quality like they suggest, but is a step up from the standard shipped headset.

It serves its purpose and is quite practical as it is much smaller, but unfortunately the '8 hour charge' sometimes becomes 2 hour inconsistencies.

The headset at first is odd to put on around the ear, but after awhile it becomes habitual and comfortable. Overall the headsets durable, somewhat good audio quality, and a bit less in your way oppose to other headsets.

The price doesn't make for such a worthy buy, if found cheaper this is a keeper.

I've had my 360 since Christmas 2007 and just went Live earlier this week. My corded headset crapped out the FIRST time I used it so I went out and bought this wireless unit.

The unit I purchased is one of the newer models that come with the USB charger. Not a bad feature, but I'd prefer an AC charger. Charge time is pretty slow, taking up to 6 hours for a complete charge. Fortunately I tend to play at night so if my headset dies, I just plug it in before I go to bed and it's ready to go when I get up.

The sound quality is pretty good. I hear everyone clearly and have had no complaints from other players about me sounding strange or about static over the connection. I would like to see future models add a quick mute function. I liked that feature in the wired headset. :)

My other little complaint is that the earpiece(s) don't fit my ears well. This could be user error, or it may be because my ears are a bit larger than average. The unit never seems to fit securely, but has yet to fall off so can I really dock it points?

All in all, despite a couple small complaints, this headset does what it sets out to do; give gamers the ability to communicate with others clearly, without the hastles of being wired to the controler. I would recommend this to any 360 Live users.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

I really like the headset. The volume is a bit low but other than that it syncs really easy and has great range, it is also very easy to change what player position it is synced to.

Mine charges via A/C adaptor but newer ones come with a nifty little USB cable instead. It fits protty nice and comes with two ear loops to give you the best fit.

The Halo 3 model is supposed to be improved.

all in all, I think it could have been better, but is worth the money none the less.

I have had this headset for over six months now, and have only good things to say about it. The chat is clear, and the controls are well placed. I often run up a floor to grab a mid-game snack and can still participate in the voice chat with my comrades. If you are serious about taking your chat to the next level, I suggest you buy this. Its battery life runs for about eight hours, which is more than enough for all but the most serious (and socially deprived) gamers. It has a rechargeable battery which I have found recharges in about 3-4 hours. It is fairly well made, and has withstood numerous drops and even a game induced frusturated throw or two.
