Product Review Summary: Better quality than the one in the Box

My wife bought me the 360 elite package for Christmas and the headset that came with the box only worked if you pressed the volume down, which sort of defeats the whole "hands free audio" aspect. Knowing that they would likely just replace it with another crappy version, I opted instead for this headset. It's more robust and the audio is a bit better. A nice alternative the cheap version that comes with the box.

Product Review Summary: headset

it so sensitive it picks up your breathing and makes it sound like your eating your microphone

Product Review Summary: Very happy with the results

I ordered this headset for my husband to play COD MW2. It was very reasonably priced even with the shipping and handing. I've never ordered anything through Amazon before and I was suprised to find out that it was very reliable and so easy. My package was delivered within four days as promised in a new package. The headset is very comfortable and has great sound control. Its very simple and easy to use.

I couldnt be happier with the product I recieved and the way it was delivered.
Will definately order again!

Product Review Summary: BEWARE no gaming sound with these

I guess maybe I am just not gamer savvy since I don't play the xbox myself but perhaps there are other parents out there trying to purchase a headset for their kids who are in the same position. I didn't realize that this headset does not receive the sounds of the game play. This information is not provided in the product description nor in any of the many reviews I read before purchasing them. Seems like important information that should be clearly stated so there is no confusion but apparently nobody has bothered to point this out so I am. We have owned several headsets, all much more expensive and when the last set died two days ago, I went to search for a replacement. I saw these, saw the rave reviews and the low price, read the product description and read about 10 reviews and then decided what a great option they are for so much less money. Well, you get what you pay for, essentially they are just a microphone to talk into. They arrived yesterday and my son put them on and complained that there is no sound at all. Finally after spending a lot of time messing with various wires trying to figure out what we could possibly be doing wrong, we decided to call the company and had a tech advisor talk to us for about an hour. In the end, we determined that they are not intended to receive any sounds from the gaming. Yes, the microphone works but you have to turn the sound on through the speakers or whatever set up you have for any other game play so this will not keep your house quiet while someone is playing and the player will not hear the "details" of the game like they would with a different headset. It would have been very helpful to have been given this information in the product description before purchasing them. I guess we are back to spending a lot more for the Turtle Beach headsets. Meantime, I took a chance and plugged this headset into my phone and it works fine, you can hear clearly and be heard so now at least I have a use for it and don't have to bother spending the money to return them since it would cost nearly as much as the product itself to do so.

Product Review Summary: Worst Headset

This headset is cheap, and everything you're paying for. It was very quiet, I could not hear friends over xbox live and they could not hear me. The headset was distorted over xbox live, it crackled and cut out. I've been so frustrated over this "5 star" headset I destroyed with my own two hands...not even worth the effort trying to get a refund...
