 - 360 HeadsetHead set works fine but I really liked the orgiginal model that came with the game. The original allowed you to move the "on/off" switch with your thumb right by the hand controller. This model while it works fine the "on/off" switch is dangling on the cord that goes up to your head. You have to move your hand off the controller to control it. Rating:  - Not an improvement over the older versionI have had my XBox 360 for over 2 years and like most people I have back ground noise in my house that is undesirable to the rest of the world (barking dog, barking wife and kids, etc). The older version of the headset had the mute switch located on your hand controller and could be switched with no effort at all - seriously, simpler than hitting the "X" button. Anyway, now Microsoft fixes the previous headset and locates the mute switch some 12" from the controller somewhere near my adams apple or whatever - not sure the brilliance with this or how this was supposed to help the gaming experience, guess I am not as smart as the richest man in the world. Anyhow, so with the unit I now leave my mike muted all the time as I don't have time in most games to hunt for the switch dangling from my earpiece. This is my same issue the the wireless headsets but save that for another review. Enjoy. Rating:  - So bad that its amazingThe original headset that came with my xbox 360 was great. Fit well, clarity was fine, etc. After a couple years, that one broke (wire disconnected inside the ear piece)... so I bought this. Immediately I realized this headset has a serious design flaw - rather than placing the on/off and volume at the base where it connects to the controller, its instead dangling in the air. WHY?? Its very annoying, the original design was a lot better. To make matters worse, this headset stopped working about the 5th time I used it. How ridiculous. Rating: - Not badUntil it doesn't work. It came with my 360 that I bought about 2 or 3 months ago. It was okay, it did it's job until the thing just finally gave out. Wouldn't recommend buying one. Rating:  - Good seller, bad item.I ordered two of the headsets off of this seller, both of which came as described. They were shipped out promptly and the transaction was smooth. However, one of the two headsets I received was broken. It was obvious that both of the items were brand new and never before messed with, so it was the manufactures fault and not the seller. The headset that came broken has two of the three wires disconnected from the headset on inside. It's an easy fix with a solder gun. Would recommend seller, and item for most part... Though Microsoft needs to make there products properly so they don't easily fall apart (this is the 3rd time this has happened to me.)
