I was looking for something different. The OEM Xbox 360 headset would always become uncomfortable after an hour or so
of use for me. The foam/sponge "ear-speaker cover" would bother my ear and the hard plastic opposite end would dig into the other side of my head.
I had been looking all over (including in Japan) for a cool headset. I didn't want one that also played the sound from the game (ie. stereo or 5.1 audio),

Picks up background noise but not my voice.
The throat piece is not adjustable but comfortable after you adjust to it. But since no one can hear me...well doesn't matter how it fits.
switched between my turtle beach x1, the extremely uncomfortable stock mic and then this. Same problems each time with the throat mic.
I've used the real deal in the military so I thought this was a great idea, and it is, but that's all this is, a...Read more
