Customer Reviews

You'll likely need to replace this headset...
The headset that comes with this has one critical flaw where any slightly more than normal pressure will cause it to physically crack redering the headset useless. You need the expansion adaptor to use voice chat of XBox Live, but once this headset breaks you can go buy a generic headset. You can use any of the ones available for telephones with a 2.5mm jack just fine and they are usually more durable as well as often more comfortable!

A MUST FOR ANY XBOX OWNER.
The xbox communicator is needed to use the xbox live, due to the fact that with it you can give verbal comands to your teamates, talk to everyone in general, and even mute those who annoy you. Plus you can also use it on other games like tom clancy's rainbow six 3, in which you can use the xbox communicator to give verbal commands to your teamates. Also if a friend of yours is in california and you are in new york, and you both go live on the same game, then you can talk to him/her directly on the xbox communicator,HELLO FREE LONG DICSTANCE. Also if you want to be kept anonymous or if you have pnemonia and want no one to hear your voice, you can disguise your voice as a robot, a little boy, a low voice, and with some clever programming the voice of darth vader.

Using XBox Live? This is a must-have accessory
Ok. It may seem silly to write a review of a gaming headset, but I have reasons for doing so. Granted, there are cheaper off-brand headsets available for the XBox (the Headcom, for example). Don't get them. They are, to a one, flimsy and easily broken. The only headset worth getting is this one. It's far more durable, with better reception than the knock-offs. With it, you can discuss strategy, trade tips, or just talk trash with other people on XBox live. When playing team-oriented games--Rainbow Six, for example--this is a necessity.
