I bought my headset recently from ebay. I was looking forward to getting it because i haven't been able to speak to anyone on xbox live for ages. Since my days of Halo 2 on the original Xbox.
I knew that the old headsets were crap, flimsy, uncomfortable and generally, just bad and plasticky. So i was looking forward to a change with the new wirelessheadset for the 360.
Everything that i was looking forward to just didn't happen. The new headsets are still crap, flimsy, uncomfortable and still plasticky - although not so much now. And they do look more stylish than the older xbox version. They look and feel similar to bluetooth headsets that have emerged recently.
As for the fact that it is no more comfortable, if anything it is less comfortable. I hate wearing it, it just flops off my ear, makes it really hot, itch and make my ...
Advantages: Great looks, handy charge cable included Disadvantages: Not great sound quality, no play and charge facility
The microsoft xbox 360 wirless headset is very attractive and fits the ear very well - at least it fits mine anyway. The headset isnt particularly good at picking up quiet speech though, which is often a let down during games that require alot of detailed communication for tactics such as Gears Of War 2 or Call Of Duty WAW.

There is a small silver button on the side used to turn the headset ...
Advantages: Long Lasting, Small Disadvantages: Must Be Charged
Microsoft Official Xbox 360 WirelessHeadset
This Xbox 360 wirelessheadset is definitely a long lasting microphone, which is quite durable.
One thing which I like about this headset is that its much more comfortable to wear compared to the original Xbox 360 Headset.
Another advantage about this headset is that its wireless so you don't need to bother with any wires.
The only disadvantage about this product is that it has to be charged.
The battery life for this wirelessHeadset is about 8 hours and it takes about 3 hours to charge fully.
You can use this wirelessheadset to listen and talk to your friend on Xbox Live.
I paid £35 for my wirelessheadset and it was well worth the money.
I recommend this product to all potential buyers. ...
