Customer Reviews

Wow, simply outstanding.
Wow, this is by far the pimpinest headset that ever did pimp, for the 360 anyway.

Right off the bat I have to say one of the speakers in the left headset had a short in it when I got the unit. I got on the phone with support and they took really good care of me. They actually sent me a replacement unit BEFORE I sent my unit back. That was really nice. I had to pay for shipping my unit back, but I really didn't press the issue either. Cross shipping is pretty rare today so I have to say support for these are great.

I play my 360 on my computer monitor at home which is in the living room with my wife. She's usually watching TV so I wanted something that would give me the super quality 5.1 audio, but I needed it in a headset so I wouldn't disturb my wife. I also needed something that would work as a 360 headset so I wouldn't have to wear 2 headsets (one for xbox live and one for game sound).

This is the perfect solution. The sound quality (now that I have a replacement headset) is 2nd to none. They're very comfortable which is important for hours of gaming play. Did I mention the sound quality is great?

It works very well with xbox live and they give you PLENTY of cord for the headset. It even includes an optical cable and has an adapter for hookup up a 5.1 computer sound card. That's a nice touch. I can use it for my computer too.... Like I would go back to the computer after the 360 though...

It also comes with a nice velvet carrying sack too just in case you're taking your setup mobile. Documentation is a little lacking, but there's some info on the manufacturer website if you can't figure something out.

I find myself contemplating buying one of these for work since i listen to music all day at work too.

Did I mention the sound quality is great and it works with xbox live?

Update: I forgot to mention that the mic that comes with this headset is crap. I ended up getting a corded mic/earpiece at the dollar store with a mini RCA jack. The kind that's sold for hands free talking on cell phones before the days of bluetooth. Works really really well with this setup. I put the little earpiece in my ear so i get direct XBL chat in my hear and put the headset on over it. This setup also overcomes the issue a lot of games have with not having separate volumes for XBL chat and game sound. It's easy for XBL chat to get drowned out with game sounds. Having an earpiece in for xbl chat and wearing the headset over that completely solves this issue.

Again, i stress... sound quality on this thing rocks and the decoder box also supports 2 headsets just in case you want to have one one for a friend.

There's also a newer version of this headset put out by the same manufacturer that's supposed to be even better than this model for XBL chat. I haven't tested that one though.

Ideal for times when you want to be quiet but also crank up the volume
I use these for my Xbox 360 and recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy games at full volume without bothering others (in my case, my wife).

I nearly reached for the phone when, in Rainbow 6 during a Live game, the phone rang in one of the office cubes. It was to the right and behind me, where my phone is in the "real world." However, this time the ringing was in the game! I could also hear that someone left a radio on in their cube to the right of me.

I also love that you can hear explosions and gunfire - even gun casings as they hit the ground - all coming from a specific direction.

The headphones are great in Xbox Live games. Folks can hear me fine, and I can hear them equally well. The only downside is that you cannot hear yourself talk. This isn't an issue with the traditional one-ear headset. However, cover both ears and you can't hear yourself talk when things get loud in the game. I wish they'd add the capability to hear yourself talk through the headphones.

A small ding, however. These headphones are great for the price.

for the gamers
i've used these exclusively with my xbox 360 so far, mostly in gears of war, halo 3 beta, etc. i'm not any kind of "audiophile" who can pick out minute distinctions in sound quality in one headset vs. another. i just wanted to, from a gamer girl's perspective, share a few points that i've discovered while using them so far...

pros:
-excellent, sharp sound
-in-game surround sound is impressively accurate even if it isn't spot on all the time. in every gears match so far since this purchase, i've been able to tell where that last locust was creeping around and thusly get the drop on him
-voice chat is crisp and clear. others are able to hear me just fine. people who know me in real life say i sound much more like myself through this new mic, and likewise through the headset i think they sound more true to life as well. and yes, you do need a few sessions to retrain your volume so you're not shouting, which i caught myself doing the first few times.
-extremely comfortable, even when worn for hours at a time
-ample cords all around

neutral:
-set up is fairly simple, the instructions are pretty straightforward. however, you need to go in to each individual game's settings and adjust the main game and fx volume before going in to any matches or co-op sessions. i had forgotten this step in a co-op marvel: ultimate alliance session and had to leave and rejoin once the settings were correct. once you get a feel of how to adjust the main games settings and get them to flow with the little dials on the cord, everything works great.
-the "rumble" feature doesn't seem to be related to the force feedback cues in the game (for example, the train on tyro station as it comes through will make your controller rumble depending on how close you are). the rumble in the headset seems to be tied to the deep bass sounds, regardless of your proximity, or whether your controller's rumbling, etc. not really a big issue, i just turned the feature down to 0. i do like that the rumble feature is given its own adjustable dial, with settings from 0-10.

cons:
-in order to have the voice chat and the game sound reach you, the instructions say to set your main voice settings in the dashboard to output through both speakers and headset. this makes sense, and it isn't an issue until you're in a crowded, chatty game lobby and you receive an important voice message about that tournament that's starting in 15 minutes. since the voice output's still coming through the speakers while you're listening to a message that would normally come in through the headset, you're left struggling to try and hear the voice message over the voices of the other gamers.

i have already highly recommended these headphones to friends, and really to anyone who's looking to replace the little headset that comes with the 360 and digs into your head above your right ear. for me, the turning point in deciding to buy these was the fact that i was missing in-game audio cues that would have helped me survive matches had i heard them through just my tv speakers. i'd give 4.5 stars if i could, since the voice message issue knocks just a little bit off the score for me. overall i am very happy with these headphones!
