    There are no directories on how to connect so setting this up for my kid was a hassle. Thank God for YouTube! Once it was hooked up the sound was pretty good. He can now play mindcraft while talking to his BFF hundreds of miles away.

    All the mics for Xbox 360 suck but this one was better priced and had a better placed mute button.

    This headset is working just fine and having a blast playing online with it. It's not super fancy but does what it needs to and it does glow, which my son loves. Just a note, they come in multiple color LEDs but I could not select the color when ordered online so I just got a random color.

    I was looking for a cheap head set to accompany my 360, and there was no way I was blowing over $100 on a set, since I was only really going to use it for MW3. Saw this and decided it would suit well enough, and after a little playing around with it and getting used to it. It works well.

    Good headset needs to be more sturdier for 7-8yrs old though as I have quickly learned

    Built and designed better than the one that comes with the Xbox and similarly priced. It has a light that is not bright but it wastes battery life as long as its plugged in.

    Bought this for my 8 year old son to use while playing his Xbox 360 and he loves them. The single ear piece is perfect because he can still hear his mother and I or other environment sounds around him rather than completely isolated. He likes the color scheme as well.

    It works well with my Xbox 360 and it it doesn't make my rechargeable batteries die any faster even with the annoying light up ear piece. Definitely would not buy this for my hard core gamer daughter but for me and my WoT obsession it does just fine..

    Well I've had it for two weeks and it hasn't broken which is more than I can say for the insigna one I had before. This headset is very good actually, has a 360 pivot swivel on the head attachment and a flexible wire for the mic that stays where you put it. 2 things that stuck Out to me when opening the box: the top part seems cheap and not what it looked like on the box, just clear plastic but it's very strong and not cheap; other thing is it doesn't light up as much as it shows on the box, just a little bit, it's still cool but I was expecting a little more.

    These aren't super expensive but they do the trick. They won't stand up to a lot of abuse, but work well if taken care of consistently. My preteen son uses these and is pretty rough on things, but these have surprisingly held up.

    I like these headphones because they glow and they fit my price range. Compared to the more expensive total ear cover head phones these do a good job.
