My Microsoft headset microphone stopped working after 7 months and my identical spare did not work out of the box (Microsoft did replace one with one that did work), so I swore off all Microsoft 360 headsets and went with the Plantronics X10 for Xbox 360. At first, it was a little snug but soon I got used to it. Works like a charm and all of my friends can now hear me loud and clear. I really like the volume/mute switch being inline because I can clip it to where I need it. At $14.99, this head set was cheaper than the Microsoft version. Hopefully, the Plantronics headset will last longer than the Microsoft set. I gave this headset 4 stars due to it’s tighter than expected fit. All in all a better choice….so far.

I actually purchased these because, in my excitement to get my XBox 360 up and running, I never noticed that it came with a headset. I have used both since, and these are a good alternative to the standard XBox 360 model. I do wish the the headpiece opposite the earpiece extended further down as it stops about 2 inches above my ear, but the headset stays on reliably and shouldn’t come off short of you tossing your controller (which the headset plugs into) to the ground. On the plus side, the microphone is easily adjustable and seems to have a good sensitivity setting. A quality accessory, overall.

The standard Microsoft product that came with my Xbox had a lot of static interference like it wasn’t getting a good connection. This one sounds much better, with no static. The only thing I liked better on the OEM headset was the location of the mute switch. This one has it dangling in the middle of the cord.

I got the over-ear Plantronics headset to replace their Under-Ear model and I’m very happy with my purchase. With the Under-Ear model, I’d have to shout into the mic for anyone to hear me and it would swing out of position if the cord got tugged. My teammates on Live also occasionally reported some interference coming from my side, while I often could hear myself echo in the mic (though that might have been Live’s fault). I have had none of these problems with this headset. It has a sound fit (even for my big head) and just requires normal voice volume to pick up what you say. My only complaint is that the volume doesn’t go as high as the Under-Ear variant, but that hasn’t been much of an issue.

These are decent for the price. Wasn’t expecting anything great but the sound quality is better than expected and those on the other end have no complaints about hearing the conversation.
