Semi-original Xbox 360 Headset

Well first let me say that it's true - you get what you pay for.  This second generation set is nothing like the first or other complete headsets which where and are a lot more solid; meaning that they were resiliant and took some normal abuse/usage.  If your a careful user, you'll get a lot of time from this headset.  If you're a normal user, it won't last as near as long as the former models.  For one the cord is a lot more flimsy at the connector and at the earpiece.  It doesn't take much to create a short at either end.  Also, you may find that a little more padding is necessary to be added at the other end.  Wearing this model for a long duration of time can be a bit uncomfortable.  Overall, if you are looking for a cheap fix because someone stepped on your heavier headset, then this is for you.  If you wanted something more durable, move it along folks there's nothing to see here.

The headset was in mint condition as listed.  However, it did not come with the digital optical cable and will not work without one.

I got these for my wife from Best Buy for $19.99 since they are the same price as the actually Xbox ones plus there is a cool LED.  She's been using them for a month or so with no issues.  They work well enough.  These are not the best out there but with three kids around the house I'm not buying expensive head sets.  One cool thing is the plug end is pretty much like the original 360 ones that use all the holes on the controller and the mute button is there too.  The volume knob is on the side where the LED is.  One slight drawback is that the LED does not glow as bright as the picture, so keep that it mind.  Its a small LED and you're using battery power from the controller, but in a dark room it still looks cool.  My black Xbox ones are almost junk so I'm going to get a set of these for myself but with the green light.

No longer made. I was thrilled to find it. One of the best headsets I've ever used. Don'y know what I'll do when it wears out!

I feel ripped off. I thought this would work to channel the game sound through my headset as well as chat like I could do on my Xbox 360. You get only the chat. I might as well have gone out and bought a new headset.

I purchased this headset for my 360 because I needed a new one, as my old one broke. I like it, as it has not just one, but two speakers and an adjustable mic. The sound quality was also excellent, as the sound came through loudly, and very clearly. However, it broke after a few uses, as the earpiece with the mic broke off, but it was still connected and after snapping the speaker back on, and when I used it, the only flaw with it was that sound was coming out of only one ear. But I did go through and get a replacement, just in case. I also don't like how it has the triple connection piece, which means you have to out it directly into the controller. I have a keyboard with the same connection, so its either one or the other, not both, which can be stressful. Overall, I am satisfied with this headset and hope it will provide me with excellent gaming experiences in the future.

See heading. Call xbox customer support if you are unsure if yours as the 103W requirement but I'm pretty sure all the original shaped Xbox 360s do

Not a bad headset for the price! It feels, looks and sounds better than my xbox 360 headset!

So, this review may be a little rushed, but at the same time there is no excuse for this defective product.  I received the headset and noticed that the sound was really good in game and had very good lows, mids and highs.  It sounded very good and the awesome EQ options really allowed a lot of freedom in choosing either bass-heavy or treble-heavy sound.

The problem, though, was with the XBox 360 chat... it did not work.  The microphone did not function and I also could not hear any chat through the headset.  After looking at various forums, I tried changing my console settings as well as holding down the "mode" button on the headset for about three seconds to change the chat volume (two beeps for chat audio, one beep for mic).  This did not work and I ended up needing to call Razer support.

So... I call Razer support and spoke to Walter (if Razer reads this, I called at 8:08 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 9).  Walter was very nice on the phone, but he had no clue about how to assist me with this product.  After I explained to him that it was the chat feature that wasn't working, he still had me go through and check the inputs on the dock (which I explained were connected properly and that the optical audio input would not affect chat on this headset because of the 2.5mm connection to the XBox 360 controller).  Walter put me on hold for nearly eight minutes and then returned on the line to clarify what was actually occurring.  I had to repeat myself multiple times, and he still didn't get this.  I also explained to him that I had tried two different 2.5mm cables (I had a cable from a pair of Turtle Beach X41s).  He mentioned that he would escalate the request right then... so I asked if they would call or would I be transferred.  He said they would email me.

When I buy a product for $150+, I would expect a support line to at least pay attention to me and seem interested.  Instead, I received dead-air when talking to Razer support.  I have had nothing but good luck with all of the Razer products I have bought in the past (Onza, Naga, Anansi, Death Adder), but Razer really did let me down with this headset being defective and not seeming to care about it.

I'm not going to give this product one star because the audio did sound great.  I will give it two stars, mainly because a product should be rated on functionality and these did partially function.

Razer - If you read this, train your support staff better, especially regarding customer care and how to speak to customers properly on the phone.

Its was a good choice. I came close to getting a set from Gamestop which usually run $99 plus...
This headset is really good. Has both game and chat volume. I made a solid choice (and its way cheaper).

Make sure you read the description in detail and make sure your getting the right headphones for the right console as it is not described in title as it should be. The are for the Xbox 360 and should say to right in the title of the description. As the price for these were great I had to go through all kinds of trouble and but and adapter to make it work on my Xbox One as I didn't want to go through the return and and repurchase process. In hindsight I wish I had as I still have trouble sometimes getting the settings just right when I want to have good sound and chat at the same time.

First, I am not the user, but the buyer of the headsets.  More than once I heard "I love it" as a comment about the headsets, so I think that says it all.  No compaints here.

Overview:

I am often unable to fully enjoy my Logitech Z-5500 5.1 surround sound setup while playing on my Xbox 360 because it is "too loud" according to my wife.  So I did a little research and decided to give the Ear Force AXT a test drive.  I know that the X2 is the newer model, but the AXT is supposed to have a more simulated surround sound to them.  So I picked them up at Fry's yesterday for $49.  When I got home I carefully cut open the plastic cover (in case I wanted to return them) and unpacked the headphones.

Setup:

These headphones have three main cords: one plugs into the wall for power, one plugs into the controller, and the other plugs into the 360 audio (red/white) cables using an included adapter.  I knew this would be a lot of wires going into this so it was not a surprise. The dashboard picked up the headphones without me having to make any console changes (my Z-5500 was turned off).

Test Run:

I then put the headphones on and I must say they felt pretty big and heavy on my head.  No big deal I suppose.  I then located the volume control which was kind of resting near my lap.  As I have read elsewhere, I could hear a hissing sound in the headphones while sitting at the dashboard.  I took my wireless control to move the blades so I could adjust the volume, and when I did this the 360 controller happened to point toward the AXT volume control and it produced some major static noise in the headset.  No big deal I thought, just don't point the wireless controller at the AXT volume control.

I then fired up COD2 as this game makes good use of the surround sound (soldier's boots when running).  At the lobby screen I noticed that after I spoke, my voice icon would remain active even though I wasn't talking.  After about 5-10 second it would then stop.  Each time I spoke (or banged the mic) the icon would keep doing it.  So I moved the mic farther from my face to see if that would help.  However, it did not matter where I put the mic as the same problem continued.  Hmmm. Ok, let's see how the game sounds.

As for simulated surround sound on the AXT, I did not hear it.  It sounded like regular stereo headphones to me and I was unable to pinpoint which direction those running boots were coming from.  After the match ended I went to mute my mic and... well... there is no mute. What! No mute?!?!  That could be a problem as I routinely need to mute in order to talk to my wife, get a beverage, etc.

At this point, I took the headphones off and gave my Z-5500's a quick test.  I then noticed that my ears were already starting to perspire and it felt good to take off these fairly heavy headphones (nearly 2 pounds).  I then powered up my Logitech and... ahhhh, yes! Nothing beats true surround sound... even at a low volume!  And just like that my testing was complete.  I neatly packaged the Ear Force AXT back up and returned them to Fry's this morning.

Pros:

Play games in solitude without disturbing others

Cons:

The claim of "simulated surround sound" is false (in my opinion)

No mute button

Subject to interference from wireless 360 controller

Low level hiss when no sound is present

Headphones are fairly heavy

Cords are relatively short (less than 10')

Mic issues (detecting unknown sounds)

The Verdict:

The AXT headphones did not work for me.  I would only give headphones another try if/when they develop a true 5.1 surround sound product with a mic for Xbox Live.  If you are looking for a late night audio solution, you would be better off just turning down your volume than buying these headphones!  Even though Teamxbox gave them high marks (tested on the original Xbox), I do not recommend them for the Xbox 360.

I wanted my own (cause I only had one and I was sharing it my sister) and for best performance under a reasonable price. So I found this headset here on Amazon. It had good reviews so that was easy enough to convince me. Now let me go into detail about this headset. First of all the most notable thing about the Plantronics Xbox 360 (Xbox compatible too) headset is it's durability. The regular Microsoft headset is kinda ok but it looks like it could break easily as most people have reported this. It's design is very great. The head band is a little bit off curved but that's still ok. The microphone is flexible that way you can have it face to your mouth. It is also switchable in sides so that you can have it either on your left or right side of your face. The output sound on the speaker is like 2x better than the regular Microsoft headset. The shape of the speaker is comfortable than the circle shape. I've been told by my Xbox Live friends that they can hear me very well. Lastly is the headset's color. It's got the traditional Xbox colors Black & Green. Anyways, I love this headset. If you're looking for something cheap yet very good at performance then this headset is the way to go. Hands down. Of course I wouldn't say it's the very best other than those hundred dollar headsets, but it's still good.

*******UPDATE*******

Sept 23, 2011

My headset continues to work great after so much use. There are minor things that have happen but keep in mind when I say "MINOR". The little icon prints on the controller of the headset which indicates the mic being off or on have faded out completely. That's normal because of the constant switching and regular use. The rubber pad that sits at the side of your head came off but I have replaced it using super glue. I have noticed that some people say that they sound quiet to their friends with the headset. This may happen due to the connector not being securely connected. That or that you have your controller being charged with a Play & Charge kit.

So anyways just wanted to give this brief update on this great product. Keep on gaming!

*******UPDATE*******

July 27, 2012

Over time my headset started to get tears and openings along the wire coat. I've patched them up with electrical tape. That held it together for a good amount of time. These started to happen around late May of this year. Now jumping to this late into the month my headset has been cutting out on me a lot. My friends have also noticed this. So I knew it would be only be a matter of time that my headset would officially die on me. Just yesterday it did. For two years and a half I have had this headset. I have taken care of it the best I can and it lasted this long. Well it was worth my money. I do say it's the quality of the wire's coat that made it die. Oh well. Also I must note that the soft cover that covers the speaker does tear in areas to pretty much one side of the speaker. This is to be expected when using the headset over time.

Was not compatible with my Xbox 360. Had to return the item

I really like these headphones for Xbox One gaming on Destiny and Smite.  My brother and I had Turtle Beach headsets for the Xbox 360.

Apparently you can get some sort of converter or something that allows use of an Xbox 360 headset on an Xbox One, but I did not know that until I bough this one.  I probably would have decided to go with this either way because it was designed to be compatible with Xbox One in the first place.  I am assuming there will be better quality  and ease of use than in using the converter option.

The headphones are comfortable and offer separate volume controls for the game and chat audio.  The wire connecting to the controller is insulated with braided material rather than something with a plastic or rubber feel.  This does draw power from the controller; but, on the other hand, it also wireless from the TV which is a nice improvement.

You can hear your own voice as a part of the game chat audio channel.  This is helpful to prevent you from yelling (which I apparently did on the Xbox 360) and to make you aware of any annoying background noise coming from your own environment (such as breathing into the mic which I also did on the Xbox 360).  I find that really annoying, personally.  If only they had told me sooner I would have done something about it... Anyway, if you do not prefer to hear yourself, I do not think that you can turn this feature off.

The buttons used to change the volume are really weird.  On the left, you select game or chat while on the right you increase or decrease the volume. This is difficult to use because there is no indicator as to which one you are about to adjust.  Therefore, it seems it is best to always select game or chat before increasing or decreasing the volume.  I would suggest that they put the game increase and decrease on one side and the chat increase and decrease on the other.  That way you would just know which one you were about to adjust every time based on it being on the right or left side.  Simpler is always better.

I am happy with these headphones.  My brother bought some Polk headphones (as they enter the gaming headset market from building quality audio equipment).  He said that others struggle to hear him on his mic.  His mic can hide (slide inside the housing and click into place) when not in use.  Obviously that is way more cool than a mini microphone boom complete with its own foam cover like on this Turtle Beach, but it apparently might not work nearly as well.  In their defense, the mic on these Turtle Beach headphones does detach.  This is helpful in storage, but do not lose it!

On a side note, I got this on Amazon Prime Day with "discounts better than Black Friday," and it was an extra $5 off from the day before.  I am not sure that was worth all the hype and advertising.
