Cool but strange bird
By Grimmy
Unpacking this thing is a little scary, what with all the cables and parts. But not all of them are needed, thankfully.The build quality looks good. The transmitter the size of a deck of cards. However, see below:Pros:- Easy setup- Sounds great, with some isolation from external noise (but also see Cons below)- Comfortable for hour-long stretches. (I'm wearing glasses.) Probably shouldn't play for much longer than that at a time.- Interference-free wireless performance, so far- 30-foot range (but I only need 10 feet or so at most)- Choice of USB, 3.5 mm, or RCA input- Disassembles for easy packing (if you do that a lot)- Retractable mic boom! Very nice.- Decent directional sound performance (but see below)- Great balancing of chat versus game sound via "LiveMix" setting. This is a very nice feature that dials down the game volume when you're chatting.- Auto power-off (after about 5 minutes)- Connects to Mac or PC as wellCons:- Mic "only compatible with Xbox 360"- They could have varied the button design a bit more to enable you to distinguish them more easily by touch- Although they tout their crystal clear digital transmission, this offers analog inputs only ... weird. So the channel separation is limited, not as good as real Dolby Digital. Seems like a waste. However, it's certainly good enough for gaming, if you're not a purist.- Pricey!

Disappointed
By ak1200
I bought a pair of these after doing research on other similar wireless gaming headsets. I do not own another pair of headsets to compare these to.The Good:-Three Different Sound Qualities-Sound quality itself was great-Live Mix which separates your friend's voices from in-game sounds-Extremely Comfortable, and I have a big headThe Bad:From 11 feet away with a direct LOS, continually received crackles and pops in my headset. I didn't notice static, just every now and then would have a crackle and pop, sometimes disconnecting the sound for up to three seconds unless I moved my head. I attempted the following:-Attempted to move the mixer around, away from the wireless router.-Turned cell phone off-Turned laptop off-Turned baby monitor off-Turned every wireless contraption offI still continued to receive crackles and pops from what I imagine is the headset losing connection.Also, upon plugging the voice dongle between the controller and the headset, I received a constant stream of static in my headphones. It's extremely noticeable and I had to unplug the dongle after a minute or two. I attempted to try an additional two times with no success.These headphones also somehow seemed to affect my wireless router range. The same day that I plugged this in (and the mixer stays on even if the XBOX is off) I could not access my internet 20 feet away from the router. I could previously walk down the street a little bit and still have connection. I turned off the mixer, and bam, I could walk down the street and access the WIFI like normal. It also caused signal from the router to be dropped as well. I'm no tech geek so I can't back this up with frequency lingo, but I'm attempting to look at this logically. It has to be these headphones.So now, if my wife wants to use WIFI upsairs while I'm using my headphones downstairs, she hasn't been able to. That, along with the crackling and popping noises, has made me reconsider the purchase. Returned the headphones, I expected much more from this product. For reference, my setup was an E2000 Wireless Router, Wired Xbox 360, Baby Monitor, these headphones.
