    This product is perfect for the price paid. And for an extra 4 dollars paid for the service plan, you cannot go wrong. Is the mic or ear piece stop working, all you have to do is bring it back to the store to get a new one. I am 100% happy with this purchase and the quality of the product.

    It was exactly what my boys where looking for and the price is great. We’ve purchased the more expensive brands and they eventually had problems with the connection. We decided to go a cheaper route and buy this headset. The headset works well for the price.

    This headset is much better than one that comes with the XBOX 360. The volume levels are very loud and the microphone had excellent and clear reception. My only complaint is the over-the-head part seems to be made of cheaper plastic than the rest of the product.

    Got this to replace the original headset which came with my xbox. This works better than the stock headset. The only problem i have with it is that the lights stay on even when the headset is turned off draining the battery when not in use.

    Beautiful headset. Illuminates nicely and fits comfortably BUT was not the best performance. Sound was good but gamers had a tough time hearing me.

    This is a reasonable head set for kids, ok price but not made to fit very well. However kids will usually break it, leave it somewhere or somehow end up needing a new one in no time.

    Was looking for an inexpensive alternative to the communicator that came with the X-Box. These are a decent step-up for the money which is why I gave it a 4 star rating.

    Good sounding headset, used a lot when traveling rather than risk damaging the more expensive ones. Very affordable and convenient not having to wrap up 20' feet of wires.

    My son only had the ones that came with his XBOX 360 so I figured I would get these for him. They are definitely an upgrade and pretty good for the price.

    The "glow" gimmick does not reach it's full intended promise, but it is cheap and is still working fine like the day it came out of the box
