This headset is so much better than the wired one that comes with the xbox. The only gripe that I have is that you have to charge it with a usb connection. Not really that much of a problem as I have a constant power usb on my computer anyway. It works for around 6-7 hours on a charge... then you plug it in and go to sleep and it is ready for the next time you want to play. It sounds great, picks up your voice well and has the mute function as well as volume right on easy to find by touch type buttons.

So I got this about a month ago and it was working just fine. Like last week or so in party chat it said the mic wasn't on so of course I pressed the power button. It made the sound that it makes when it was turning off. I was really confused so I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't turn on. So I tried to charge it and it wouldn't even blink. (Just a heads up about when you know your mic is about to break or try to avoid what I did.) Then I just requested a exchange and got it within 3 days. Pretty cool

I do love this headset though it's comfortable and people over Xbox Live can hear me just fine. Sometimes I have to talk a bit louder so the mic can hear me but I'd say that's the only downfall, Besides breaking randomly. But I think it should be fine as long as it breaks within two months and I can get another exchange.

OVER VIEW:
1. Long lasting battery life 12-14 hrs.
2. One size fits all [comfortably, non-sweaty, light weight, fashionable]
3. Volume control and sound are HIGH QUALITY! [ nice and loud, effiectnt]
4. Wireless-ness is THE MUST HAVE feature for a true dedicated gamer

I bought this as a Xmas gift for my Boyfriend and he is a hardcore gamer as i like to put it. He is always on 360 party chat or talking with allies on his games. He was really excited about the fact that its a cordless headset that charges really really fast and holds a charge 12-14hrs which is how long hes on it on a daily basis, it has never once died on him in the 2 weeks that hes been using it [ i gave it to him early] he likes how it fits comfortably over his ear and is very light weight so you forget that its there, the volume control is high quality too!

In my experience this Bluetooth-like headset/earpiece was not a good purchase. Fortunately for me it did not work at all, so I was able to return it and I replaced it with the headset that plugs into the Xbox 360 controller - that one works really well.

Apart from the earpiece I purchased not working at all (for which I can't really fault the item - I'm sure the vast majority work fine), I found this headset uncomfortable: it often did not remain securely in place on my ear. I tried both sizes of ear attachment loops but the smaller one was too small and the larger one too big. I don't have pronounced earlobes so this may have played a part in the problem, but I feel that an earpiece like this ought to be able to be made to fit any ear.

Also, the volume control doesn't seem to give a great range (it was hard to tell though, since all I ever heard out of it was a beep).

I think this earpiece would be fine for someone who has tried and likes Bluetooth style earpieces, but others may find it more annoying. It certainly is nice and small, but for me it was not all that practical. Even if it had worked properly, I would have tried to return it, because it was just too annoying and uncomfortable.

I just bought this for about $45 and it has worked out to be a bargain.

Good: It fits as comfortably as could be expected for a piece of plastic on your ear. The sound is loud enough and clear. I like the ability to easily hit the mute button as I play online so that I can still talk to the wife or dogs. It is very easy to connect initially and after that you only have to turn it on to have it automatically connect each time.

Bad: There isn't anything too bad so far, but in order to put something here..... The sound has dropped a few times where it goes from the earpiece to the tv for a few seconds and then back to the ear piece. The microphone is very sensitive so I turn the sound on my tv down 1 notch from what used to be normal to prevent noise bleeding over into the mic. It hasn't been a big deal though.

Overall, the move from the cheap, flimsy wired headset to this wireless model for $45 was a great move. Its one of those things you wish you had done sooner.
