  Not at all what I was expecting.

  by Martin_Flechette on July 5, 2012

  Pros: Comfortable
  Well made
  Look nice

  Cons: No mic volume wheel
  Mic mute doesn't work right
  Sound quality isn't as good as the price suggests
  Adapter needed if using HDMI on the 360

  Summary: This headset isn't at all what I had expected after reading the reviews for it on several sites. The price seemed reasonable for the reviews, so I went and bought them. Once I got them home, I discovered that while they do work with a 360, you need an adapter to use them if you use the HDMI output. After that, I tried it with my computer. The volume of the microphone is linked to the volume wheel on the headset which resulted in several requests to turn it down. When the volume was comfortable for those I was speaking to, I could no longer hear them. The sound quality, while okay, is not what I was expecting. I've had cheaper headsets with better sound than these. The bass boost function works well, but most of the space on the wheel seems to do little to nothing.
  
  I would not recommend this product to a friend based on the above reasons. Were this in the $30 range, they would be well worth the price.

  by TJCOOLJ on November 17, 2011

  Pros: Quality Build
  Strong Bass
  Independent Volume wheels for Chat, Game and Bass Volumes
  Comfortable
  Quality Mic picks up even whispering
  Clear Mute Indicator on/off light
  Hearing yourself through headset helps you stay aware of how loud you are talking

  Cons: Volume wheels and adapter block have no clip and dangle from headset
  At times even with the bass turned way down, it can overpower the chat

  Summary: I love this headset because I has gotten much cheaper and the sound quality is strong. In addition, you can also finally replace the terrible XBOX 360 microphones that always ...

  Summary: I love this headset because I has gotten much cheaper and the sound quality is strong. In addition, you can also finally replace the terrible XBOX 360 microphones that always cut out.
  My primary reason for getting this headset is because I play generally late at night and I tended to wake people up with my voice because my old standard microphone could only pick me up at a near shout. This headset can pick up my whispering, and the built in voice repeater allows you to hear yourself which helps you monitor your own volume. Teamed with the superior sound to even my 5.1 speaker setup, the headset pulls you in to the game completely. It is capable of very high volume output, so you could absolutely make every gun shot ring in your ears for days. But for those of us who enjoy the wonders of Hearing, at a reasonable level you will still feel like you are inside the best movie theater ever. I am studying to be a sound designer for film, and my passion for videogames often leaves me wanting more audio engagement. With Battlefield 3 and the MW3 the sounds are so real you will start to look around yourself.
  I have also watched films with this headset on (Because it works with PC's and Macs Aswelll) and it was amazing. It is often hard to believe this headset is still considered Stereo when you are watching Band of Brothers or Apocalypse Now.
