This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Headset with Bluetooth (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I have had five (!) Xbox headsets – The Turtle Beach X12 which were brilliant but just too many cables, the Turtle Beach XC1 which became uncomfortable after 30 mins or so, obviously the Microsoft included ones which are just terrible, some little over the ear thing which wasnt worth the plastic it was made of and finally this Microsoft Bluetooth headset and having used it for the first time yesterday i am blown away. Here is why:
1) It looks brilliant and feels sturdy and well made yet is still lightweight 2) Pairing it to the Xbox takes just a few seconds (make sure you are connected to xBox live when you do so) 3) The sound quality is EXCELLENT on both sides with people telling me it is just as clear as the Turtle Beach X12’s. 4) It is incredibly comfortable to wear for long durations – I had a 4 hour session yesterday with no problems! 5) The battery seems superb as even after 4 hours, the battery is still showing as full 6) You can check the battery levels on your screen by pressing the controllers home button 7) Charging is easy via the USB port on the back of the xBox 8) You can mute the mic simply by pressing the headset – the whole thing is like one big button so no more searching along cables for the control box 9) You can use it with your phone
Seriously, i dont know why so many people are having problems with this headset. i am SUPER picky when it comes to things like this and i really cant find a single fault with it. Buy it, follow the instructions and you wont regret it!

This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Headset with Bluetooth (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme(What’s this?)
This has been available in the US for a week or two now and this is a welcome appearance in the UK.
For anyone who has the current white wireless headset the improvements are apparent straight away. It’ much more comfortable, the sound quality is much clearer, it seems to pick up voice a lot easier and it just generally feels like it’s a more quality piece of hardware.
You get a couple of extra foam covers included with it but it’s comfortable enough without them, a bonus considering how quickly I always seem to lose the silly things!
The added bonus is that as well as working on the proprietary 360 wireless channels it also works on the normal Bluetooth channels so can be used elsewhere.
All in all, if you are looking at a wireless headset for the 360 then this probably should be the number 1 choice.

Reviewing the XBOX side of the headset i’ve been very impressed with it. So much better than the old white wireless one i had in every department. clearer sound, clearer mic and very comfortable. Battery life has been vastly improved too. I bought this mainly to use with my CSR wheel since my Turtle beach headset was turning my voice into a robot, so it fits the bill perfectly. Not sure why so many people are having problems with this but mine has been excellent. There may be some bad batches about, maybe Microsoft will fix the problems over time.

This is a brilliant headset, cant see why people are unhappy!,
I have had five (!)

3) The sound quality is EXCELLENT on both sides with people telling me it is just as clear as the Turtle Beach X12’s.
4) It is incredibly comfortable to wear for long durations – I had a 4 hour session yesterday with no problems!
5) The battery seems superb as even after 4 hours, the battery is still showing as full
6) You can check the battery levels on your screen by pressing the controllers home button
7) Charging is easy via the USB port on the back of the xBox
8) You can mute the mic simply by pressing the headset – the whole thing is like one big button so no more searching along cables for the control box
9) You can use it with your phone
