No not at all. I bought one once my wired one broke. The mic is far away from your mouth, meaning you will have to talk louder than usual for the mic to activate, the battery life is only about six hours so you will need to charge it daily, it is overall a bad purchase in my opinion. You're better off with the wired, it is NOWHERE near the 60 dollar price tag, you can get cheaper better quality mics for 20 dollars if you want to.

I bought one but I returned it cause it was staticy even sitting right next to my xbox. Also had a lot of back noise.. That was awhile ago so they might have them all fixed by now. I was thinking on getting one again cause I've went through about 4 wired mics.. but I have one that works okay now and a backup that came with my xbox 360 s. On my experience on them.. don't buy. Its not worth it.

I liked mine, but I left it plugged in and now the (non-replacable) battery is dead. It was cool when it worked. Now, I may as well throw it away.

They break all the time. Their as bad as launch 360's. I'm not exaggerating. I dont know anyone on thier 1st 360 (RROD obviously) and I don't know anyone who's wireless headset still works. Also don't purchase the Red Remotes...

In Ireland and I'm guessing the rest of Europe as well, Microsoft have stopped selling the wireless headset and have replaced it with the original wired version. I think that says it all :)

If you want a good headset, check out the Turtle Beach X11 from Amazon 10-15 bucks more and well, just look at it. The sound quality is great, it's great at picking up small sounds, and the mic is fully adjustable without breaking.

I'm not a fan of them. I'd much rather recommend a wired gaming headset which probably won't cost too much more than the wireless mic. They have better voice quality overall and can provide game sounds to your ears.. Stuff such as turtle beaches and Tritons.
