Rating: 8

Time with product: 12

Strengths: Wireless

Weaknesses: Needs to be recharged

Summary: There's no more need for wires with this. You get a decent amount of time when fully charged and the sound quality is great. It also does a good job of canceling out background noise so others won't get irritated.

Strengths: Wireless

Weaknesses: weak battery life

Summary: I was SO glad to get rid of my corded headset and replace it with this one until I realized that the battery life on these were terrible. You are forced to buy 2 to keep swapping them out because they take a while to charge. They are pretty comfortable with the included larger over ear piece, but I have been told the sound is muffled over xbox live unless you really speak loudly. Not the best thing Microsoft has come up with in my opinion.

Strengths: Light and relatively comfortable. Sound is good and others can hear you clearly

Weaknesses: Has a tendency to not pick up when you first start speaking. Can cut out. Needs to be charged frequently.

Summary: This headset provides good sound and gives you freedom to talk while not next to the controller. Connecting to the console is easy and you can easily mute/unmute with a touch of the power button. Volume controls are easy to use. Only problem is sometimes it cuts out the first part of your speech and has a tendency to cut out some other times too, although not very often. The battery life is ok but there is no way to charge it via the headset so once it dies you can't use it until it is recharged which it does via a USB cable.

Strengths: The sound quality is better than that of the normal headset you get with the system. The main strength is that it is wireless. You don't ever have to worry about the wire getting in your way.

Weaknesses: It's a little loose around the ear, but what blue tooth/wireless headset ever fits right?

Summary: This is the greatest thing to ever happen to xbox live. You don't have to carry the whole controller with you when you have to leave the room. Also when a 14 year old beats the crap out of you in halo you can freely throw the controller across the room without it taking your head too. For anyone who plays live and uses the head I fully recommend getting this little accessory.

Strengths: Wireless Freedom, No Static From Movement, Comfortable, and Long Battery Life and the price is unbeatable.

Weaknesses: No Weakness's worth the money for the Hardcore Gamer

Summary: I love not having the wire between me and the wireless controller and a big plus if you just chat and don't want to carry the controller around with you. The Price is unmatched at any store and you get to complete the Halo 3 feel with this limited edition headset.
