Strengths: No wires, light-weight

Weaknesses: Battery life could be a bit better

Summary: The Wireless Headset for the Xbox 360 let's gamers talk to each other over Xbox Live with no wires. You can connect up to four (4) per Xbox 360 console. - Voice transmission (both out and in) are high quality; as good as the wired headset. There is no perceptible delay. The wireless headset is lightweight and fits comfortably over either ear. The built-in volume controls are easy to use. - The battery life is good, but not great. Mine lasts for about 4 - 6 hours before needing a recharge. This is nowhere near the length that you get out of the wireless controllers for the Xbox 360. (I would imagine that the desire for lightweight versus battery life are somewhat mutually exclusive.) - All in all, it's a good accessory and a must have for those who spend considerable time on Xbox Live.

Strengths: Wireless. Small. Charges through USB port with included cable. Can be used on a PC as well if you have the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver which is not included. Fits over either ear.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: Nice wireless headset that you can use on both a Xbox 360 or a PC if you have a Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver. Comes with Two different size ear pieces one already attached. The second is for anyone with bigger ears. It charges through any USB port which means you can charge it through a Xbox 360, PC, or anything else that has a USB port to plug it in. Recommended.

Strengths: Wireless, easy to sync with console and controller, good sound and voice quality, comfortable, easy to change voloume and mute, much better option to the corded headset.

Weaknesses: slightly overpriced, headset can be hard to get on sometimes, occasional static feedback

Summary: This xbox 360 wireless headset, is a great option compared to the basic xbox 360 corded headset. I strongly recommend this to anyone who plays xbox live. It is very useful when moving around while playing and trying to talk to people at the same time, thanks to the wireless capability.

Strengths: Very small and compatible.

Weaknesses: May not fit your ear as comfortable and nicely.

Summary: Well made. A little bit confusing and not as user's friendly. Sometimes the reception/connection to the XBOX 360 is a little bit iffy and not reliable. For those who like the wireless ear piece of cell phones will feel at home with this one.
