Absolutely perfect.

So I previously used Turtle Beaches X11's, which were pretty good. There was a distinct noise when a film went silent etc and the cable knotted CONSTANTLY but aside from that they served me well. Unfortunately they broke through wear and tear and as such I was after a replacement.

Great Xbox headsets

Overall the product is good. The product is worth the money if you are quite serious about Xbox gaming. If you plan to use it for the TV, computer, AND xbox, then you should get this; its the best of its kind. The 5.1 surround sound system could be more accurate, but you get what you pay for.
Pros:
  • This thing has got a great look, and comparing the price, just the look itself is actually worth it
  • The 5.1 surround sound and the three modes of preset EQs give you an amazing sound quality, whether it be shooting grubs to death on GoW 3, killing a dragon on Skyrim, or just watching a movie.
Cons:
  • I haven't tried the mic yet, but the length looks too short and it is completely unmovable in terms of flexibility
  • It can only be put up to be muted
  • You can't bend it closer to your mouth
  • Also, the ear cups aren't very comfortable.

its good if you only want to use for game audio and not game chat. I like it myself i use it for xbox 360, but is also compatible with pc for pc gaming. I believe they can work for ps3 but are not chat compatible and that is because they have to be plugged in to a xbox 360 controller in order to use...
Pros:
  • great suround sound
  • very simple controls
  • bult in eq
Cons:
  • mic is too senitive
  • game chat volume way to low
  • a little large
