Rating: - Nice set
This ear set works just fine. Volume control works well and in comming sounds are clear and loud.
Rating: - I would give a 0 but i cant
This product is not for the XBOX it is for the 360... and if you get this you will have to find a communicator module, but guess what nobody sells them by themselves.
Rating: - good replacement
for the standard xbox headseat which broke while being transported to a friends house for a LAN party. Stores more compactly than the original and is less fragile. I like it.
Rating: - Comfortable, but not practical for gaming
Okay, as promised, I would bring an update if it wasn't as good as I expected. The headset IS as comfortable as I said it is. However, I noticed that the headset is "always on"...it's always sending some sort of static. It's not that the headset is too sensitive...I could be in a completely quiet room and it stays active as if I were talking. So, metalive was right in this aspect of the headset. If you don't mind muting the headset from the control and only unmuting when you want to talk, then this could work fine...that's what I did for awhile since I don't talk much anyway...but then I tried the headset that came with the XBox Live Starter Kit that fits around the back of your head, and that works much better, albeit, not quite as comfortable. Anyway, it doesn't appear that I can change my rating to 2 stars...but that's about all I'll give it since that static makes the headset, more or less, un-usable for XBox...I'll be using it for my cell phone now.
**** ORIGINAL REVIEW ****
I have this same headset design for my cell phone (buying it for XBox now). Metalive's comments probably result from trying to stick the "hook" over the top of his ear instead of the bottom...that WOULD be uncomfortable. Most cell phone headsets hurt my ears when they have hard frames that hook over the top...such as the GameCom headset...In contrast, the soft hook that goes "under" your earlobe on this headset is far more comfortable, and I'm able to wear my cell phone headset all day without noticing it's there. However, I will say this...if I don't use the foam to cover the ear piece it seems to slip too far out of my ear, so I end up holding it in when people talk too quietly, but I have that problem with ALL headsets that go in the ear, so I can't say this one is worse than any others because of that.
As for being too sensitive to noise, you should be able to move it around so that it's aiming above your nose a bit and thus less sensitive.
So, I'm going to buy this one now because of my good experience with the same headset for my cell phone...if it's not as good as I think it will be, I'll come back here and write another review to let you know. Otherwise, consider this headset a good one, especially for the cost.
Rating: - great for the price!!!!!!!!!!
the gamecom is the best.. this item sits perfectly in your ear. the other headsets fall off your head and make your ear red. overall this is the one to get. i have too i use one and i have one for backup. trust me its really good.
