Wired vs Wireless Headset?

I prefer a wireless headset!

Fab your userpic is awesome.

And TC, I say go for what is more comfortable to you; if the wireless headset pinches and you wear it for long period it will hurt, and why would you want to hurt?

i hav the wireless and is not good. if you take it you anterstand why..;)

Perhaps it would be more helpful to tell him why before he spends his money? :?

I had a similar problem--liked the feel of the wired headset but shared the same issues with reliability. I bought the wireless one but found it brutally uncomfortable. What I did (although I wouldn't necessarily recommend this) is basically mated the two headsets to make some kind of hybrid super-headset.

I took off the boom from the broken wired one and glued the wireless one to the base of the headband (after ripping off the terrible ear-mangling black rubber thing). This took a whole bunch of glue-gun glue but after it dried it worked really well. It helps too if you use the foam padding from the wired one to make it extra comfy.

Not sure if this is the solution for you but it worked pretty well for me

could you post a picture of your creation? I'd love to see it... I've had my wired headset for almost two years now and it's still working... although it took some beating while I was playing COD4 ;)

I also like the look of the Wireless headset but there are two problems with it for me:

1. You can only get them in white so it won't match my Elite

2. They are too expensive (£34.99) which is the price of a game

i use wired, but i'd like a wireless...

but...

same stuff!!:D

;)

in adittion, i have little ears; so i'll keep my wired ones! :P

I get a lot of interference when using the wireless headset and the range on that thing is extremely short. So I rather use the wired headset even though I've gone through at least 8 of them in 4 years.

I prefer wired.

Which wireless headsets are you referring to? I wasn't aware of any other than the ones from www.turtlebeach.com. Does Microsoft make one too?

how is the wired one poor? Can anyone take care of theres? Ive had mine since launch and it works perfectly. Hasn't broke or anything. Tjeremiah1988

My dog ate one. Things happen.

Yeah like epeleptic seizure awesome! :P

Meh, I'm sure wireless ones are "better" and more reliable, but I still have the wired one you get with the Xbox 360 from a few years back, and have yet to have a single problem out of it. If you're wanting the best though I'd go for a wireless.
