 Great all around headsetDec 15, 2011
By Trunas
I purchased this headset as soon as it was available from Amazon. I have been using this headset daily since and it works and looks great. I have been using this headset for my Xbox 360 (party chats while gaming), my PS3 (also used for chatting while gaming) and I also have it synced to my Iphone 4 (used for listening to my music & calls). The style of it is nice and shiny (prone to fingerprints through) and feels comfortable (comes with different size ear pieces). I was constantly asking people about the sound quality on their end to make sure i came through clear and loud, which i did. On my end everyone sounded the same. The buttons on this headset feel nice and respond well and the ability to switch from bluetooth to xbox is done with a simple flick of a button. I was using it for my phone quite often until i have to admit I felt like a weirdo wearing it all the time in public (i never really been a fan of headsets for cell phones) and it does say xbox 360 on the side of it, wish it didn't but not a big deal and I really purchased this for my xbox and PS3. I also do own the original wireless headset and feel like both are great headsets. In my opinion if you are looking for a wireless headset this is the way to go. A couple more dollars than the original one but you can use it for everything. I rated this headset a 4 instead of a 5 because I have had some problems with it acting weired if I had wanted to run upstairs to grab something from the kitchen (I game in my basement) it would cut out or people wouldn't hear me, might be because i went out of range then back in? But after turning it off and on real quick that would solve the problem. Hope this review helps!

This is what you make of it. I like it, but will you?Dec 17, 2011
By A. Nguyen
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35W1AE7HWJSUY After reading all the reviews on this item from various sites, I decided to buy it because there were mixed reviews. The xbox 360 Wireless headset with bluetooth is good or bad depending on your qualifications of being good. The good and bad reviews that I have read have completely different sides to the same thing. For example, the sound is great and the sound is horrible. This is what I dislike about reviews, because they are opinionated
Before I used the product, I read the manual paper they gave. I also charged it before use because that is what it told me to do. Reading is fundamental.
I am not a professional reviewer so this is my opinion on what people should think about and expect to see when they purchase this product.
The Headset Overall
I think this is a good product and know that there are things that people will be very picky about. One thing is the sound. The sound is different than you are used to, of course. It's because it is a different type of headset. The sound is something you have to experience and see for yourself. It may take getting used to, but will work out if you believe in it. If all fails, return it.
People say there is a buzzing or slight static noise coming from the earpiece. There is, however, it is so slight, you could only hear it when you are in a quiet place. I walked into my garage and tested this, and there is that little, tiny static noise that people will hate this mic for. I, for one, do not notice the sound unless I really concentrate on it. That, you must also try for yourself. I don't think it's very troublesome because as I play my games, people are talking and communicating and when on bluetooth, the other persons phone will pick up their background noise therefore you hear it and that static will be replaced with the persons voice or background noise. Every once and a while, there is also a little small beep or something that makes it sound like it idled or disconnected and reconnected which is weird or is just the cutting out of other talkers.
The mic has a weird feel to it. The earpiece is on your ear, and is a piece of plastic, but isn't a problem to me. The earpiece on the other hand, has a unique feel. I am using the smallest rubber piece because the others were quite big for my ear. The feel on your ear is different. There are little things that bother me when using it. One is the plastic piece that you connect to the headset. There was a little piece of plastic that was around the loop that poked my ear, so I filled it down slightly. Now when the earpiece is in your ear, it's not all the way in your ear. It is slightly in your ear. It feels like it is hanging a little bit, but when I shake my head it does not come off at all. Once again, you need to experience it for yourself to see if you like it or not. It may take a little getting used to.
The mute button is a pain too. When you press it, it pushes the earpiece and it kind of hurts. Really annoying.
[Update 4/6/12: The mute button can be pressed directly, which made it poke my ear, and indirectly, which doesn't hurt at all. Instead of pressing the center of the button, you can press lower or higher to mute or use the "action" button on bluethooth. Took me a while, but it makes a difference.]
XBOX 360 CHAT
Xbox 360 Chat is different in party chat and game chat. Different games have different chat in which the sound is slightly different, but this is for party chat.
Now for the mic. Since the mic is right next to your cheek, there are limits to what it picks up. For example, I tested what this headset picks up by joining my friends XBL party. I told him to repeat everything I said. In this experiment I found that it has a strange way of picking things up. When I whisper, the headset picks it up. Screaming will not be screaming, but rather talking loud and sounding like you are farther away from your headset because it's next to your cheek. When I speak in a really-moderately soft voice with no bass in my voice, it does not pick it up. That is what I dislike most about the headset, but only if I'm trying to talk soft due to people sleeping, which I don't anyways.
For the people on the other end, they hear you as softer than you were when you were using a wired basic microsoft wired headset. You are heard like you are further away from your mic when people hear you, but it doesn't seem to bother people. When you talk though, there is feedback from the background. What I was told was that there was the sound of air after I spoke, but stopped withing milliseconds when I stopped talking. That may be a setback because if you're playing loud music or you have a sound system, it may bother people.
BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a great idea for this headset and might have some flaws in it as well
When speaking through the headset to another caller, you sound different, just like you were when on xbox. You sound further away, but they can still hear you fine. I haven't experienced much with the Bluetooth yet, but it is relatively the same as when you're on Xbox Live.
The sound quality is pretty good for me. I tested it on my voice mail, which I recommend everyone to do. The automated part is quite loud, but the voice message that a person left is on the slight soft side. In a call, the sound is good, if adjustment are needed, use the volume. I found that the volume is better at a medium to high volume for the best sound, but for the low volume, it may sound fuzzy.
I played music on the xbox 360 headset with bluetooth from my phone. It sounds the same as you were if you were using headphones or earphones to me. Just adjust the volume as necessary.
Overall
This mic cannot be judged on any one person or even in several reviews. I read reviews that are good and bad and I couldn't find a moderate review explaining why it is good or bad, so I decided to write one for myself to try and explain my experience. If you are reading this review, this is what I have experienced and if you decided to purchase this product, you may have a different experience when using it.
If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities.

 Best bluetooth/headset ever owned!Nov 10, 2011
By Johnny
Love the fact that you can chat with your buddies on Xbox and switch over to receive calls from your phone. Battery life is excellent. Before I used it for the first time, I charged it for 2 hours and after that, I have been using it for two weeks now without charging. Of course it helps if you turn it off when you're not using it. It's also very easy to setup and sync with your devices just like any bluetooth. I have had many bluetooths before and have never used them as much as I use this one. Invest in one!

 In comparison to the previous model...Apr 29, 2012
By Nostalgic Link
TL;DR: I don't like it, mostly because it's uncomfortable as hell and the previous model worked fine.
Like I said, I had the previous model wireless headset by Micro$oft, but I gave it to a friend in need. I had the extra cash, and I saw that there was a newer version of the headset with bluetooth available. I already have a PS3 bluetooth headset that I use for making calls while driving so I didn't really need it for that, but what the heck!
Pros:
1) Bluetooth...
2) It's a sleek, glossy black to match a newer 360 if you have one...
3) It works.
Cons:
1) God damn uncomfortable as hell around my ear after around an hour... (yes, I tried the different sizes; it's because of how the weight it distributed that makes it suck)
2) You must unclip the cheap, thin plastic retainer that holds the weight of the mic on your ear and flip it over to reclip it if you want to switch it to your other ear after it starts to get painfully uncomfortable vs. simply putting it on your other ear like the previous model was capable of; the previous model had a sort of foam made for either ear instead of a thin plastic.
I was under the impression that the headset would use a bluetooth dongle/adapter to communicate with the 360, not make me switch between a 360 mode and a bluetooth mode... kind of annoying, because for a while at first I kept accidentally changing modes instead of the volume. :-\

Great concept, cheap executionMar 11, 2012
By John J. Kavanagh
"SemperFi"
First, Amazon why do you want me to rate this as a game?
The ability to use the device for phone and xbox voice is great. The problem is the device is inferior in action. The static is constant and no real noise cancellation that I noticed.
