Title: Go chunky
Review: For starters I would like to say that I would definitely generally recommend the Microsoft brand headsets to anyone looking to buy a headset for their xbox 360, my first two headsets were Madcatz ones and while the first one was great if quite uncomfortable the second one wasn’t so nice and died much quicker. Now then, as far as the Microsoft brand headsets go I definitely have to advise buying one with the chunky plug in if at all possible, I know a lot of people prefer the sleeker look of the volume and mute controls being on the middle of the cord but if you’re anything like me and have a cat or dog or even little siblings or are just a bit clumsy you will be having it yanked out at every turn. The benefit of the chunky plug ins is that they take more force to actually be yanked out so half of the time that a skinny plug mic would be jerked out by my cat jumping off my lap the chunky one remains firmly plugged in, this is important because the only thing that has ended up killing my mics aside from the one my friends cat chewed through, is the cord being yanked out repeatedly. If you want your mic to last you a long time try and make sure it doesn’t get pulled out of the controller often because this damages it and eventually causes it to crackle when moved and screech in your friends ears when unplugged or just at random.I have owned 3 different Microsoft headsets and have a 4th one being sent right now, the first was a spare from my fiance who had it for some time though hadn’t used it much, that one was fantastic, worked great, was comfortable and when it died it was only because a stupid cat bit through the cord while I was sleeping at my friends house (Curse you Nala!). The second was the black headset that came with my new xbox 360 slim and I have to say it was a pile of fail, the sound quality wasn’t as good as the old one from my fiance, it was tighter and more uncomfortable, it didn’t have the chunky plug and so ended up getting yanked out enough times that it died after only a month or two I believe. The 3rd and current one I ordered here and it has served me quite well, I bought it back in early september of last year and I have used it all day every day since then more or less (I speak to my fiance and best friends on xbox live everyday, sure saves any phone bill costs for long distance considering my fiance is in the UK and my best friend out of state lol), it like the one that was given to me has a chunky plug, great sound quality and is comfortable to wear. Unfortunately after serving me so well for so long it is now on its last leg after I returned home to my cat who proceeded to knock my controller clear off my lap onto my tile floor where the cord had no choice but to come free due to the long drop, considering the fact that earlier that day the same cat had yanked the thing clean off my head rather than it coming unplugged due to the chunky plug I really have to stand by my love for the volume and mute controls being at the plug in rather than on the cord allowing a more secure connection to my controller. I only hope that I’m lucky enough to manage to get another one rather than a skinny plug considering most of the sellers don’t specify which one they’re selling unfortunately, leaving me to guess.In short, Microsoft brand headsets, particularly the white and grey ones with the volume and mute controls at the plug in, giving them a chunky base have in my experience been great headsets. They have good sound quality, they’re more durable than the cord control ones and they then end up usually lasting a great deal longer for someone like me who walks around the house talking on their headset and often snags the cord on things or those who also like me have a cat or other animal or even small siblings who might get tangled on the cord and yank on it. I would certainly stand behind purchasing the headset here at amazon where it is way cheaper than at somewhere such as Gamestop and in my experience works better too. This is a great buy, especially for such a low price and compared to other brands of headsets, these are usually better overall, in comfort, audio quality and durability. Just look out for cats, they seem to be the bane of all headsets >.>

Title: Not as shown… but it’ll work… Seller fixed the error.
Review: *UPDATE* I apologize to PLAYITNOW for the extensive delay in editing my review. I completely forgot. After a representative from their company read my review, they contacted me to apologize for the error and they shipped out the correct black headset very quickly and at no charge. They were extremely courteous and their efforts were very much appreciated. I bumped my review from 3 to 4 stars. Did not give 5 stars only because the correct item did not arrive before Christmas. But thanks PLAYITNOW for making things right!I purchased this headset for $7.50 from PLAYITNOW as a replacement for my husband’s headset that’s getting pretty beat up – figured it’d make a good stocking stuffer. My husband’s original white 360 bit the dust earlier this year and he replaced it with the black “slim” 360, so I thought it’d be nice to get him a black headset to match his black controller. The photo of the headset shows a black headset, but the one I received from PLAYITNOW is the original white headset. He hasn’t received it yet to try it out and make sure it works, so I can’t comment on performance, but I was pretty bummed to open the package and find the same white headset he already has.. I specifically ordered this one because I was expecting it to be black. Probably not worth returning, but still.. PLAYITNOW should put a comment in the item description stating that the product color does not match the photo.

Title: My Son Loves It
Review: My son uses it liternally everyday to play MineCraft. He can use it to organize a team to help building mansions or such (that is about the limit of what I know about MineCraft).Originally I thought having a wire attaching to the headphone can be a problem. Most of the wired headphones that I have ever used developed problem with the wire sooner or later. Luckily, the wire of this headphone is very short — all it needs to connect is from the XBox control to the headphone. It doesn’t need to connect directly to the XBox console itself. Seem like the wire being short minimizes the possibility of having a problem with the wiring.So far the only problem that my son has with this headphone has to do with the small metal rivet that connect the upper part of the headphone with the lower part. That rivet somehow was broken or something. I end up use a small metal bolt to replace the rivet. I got the metal bolt from an assorted pack from Radio Shack, and I choose a short one that can fit into the hole (left behind after the metal rivet was broken) very tightly. So far after 1 month it still holds up fine.

Title: First of Two
Review: This was the first of these headsets I bought. I was not happy with the item but chalked it up to just a defective product. However, I recently bought another pair from a different online store and ran into similar problems as I did with this purchase.Pros:+ Lightweight.+ Doesn’t block out the sound of the TV with the covered ear.Cons:- Sound phases in and out of low and high volume.- Microphone playback phases in and out of low volume.- Other chat users can hear their own voice.- While not incredibly uncomfortable, and the headphone muff is nice, the headset pinches slightly on my head.- Connector is sensitive and will create static interference at the slightest touch.I would not recommend this headset for almost any price range. If you want to save money, what I do recommend is getting an adapter for about $1 (Xbox 360 controller jack to two 3.5mm jacks) and buying a cheap headset with decent reviews for about $5 (iMicro SP-IMTP331 maybe?). If you want something with more quality, maybe try spending over $25 (not something I’d do, so I can’t be sure on that price). I would only recommend this headset if you couldn’t find anything else. Maybe both my headsets were defective, but even so, I would guess you’d have to be somewhat lucky to get a decent product here.

Review: Initially we had issues with the headset – it wouldn’t work in my girlfriend’s controller. After changing a few settings, it still working work. I had to clean the prong of the headset off with alcohol first, however it works flawless since. May have just had something covering it from the shipping. I’d recommend.
