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 >.>
This mic however ha lasted me months so it is durable on top of working very well.
Lastly it has a very convenient volume and self mute control, which can be so crucial while playing on xbox live.
this is such a cheap option even if i did something to break my mic it wouldnt matter since i can replace it for so little.
Pros: Great replacement for those times you "accidentally" throw your original headset across the room.
Cons: Though it's made by Microsoft, these headsets are anything but durable, I would dare to say they can be very fragile at times. A major shock, large drop on hard floors, and even "throwing" them might result in the product no longer working.
I would suggest you buy this product only if you have no plans on getting a Gaming Headset (i.e. Astro A50s or them cheaply made Turtle Beaches) Great replacement and hopefully you learned your lesson that "blaming your headset" for your failures from online gaming isn't a great idea. If you didn't learn your lesson then I suggest you buy 2 or 3 maybe 6?
