Wireless Headset? Yay or nay?

My friend said he'd sell me his wireless headset when he gets his turtle beach x31's. I know it works because he uses it when he plays.

I hate my wired mic( It still works after over a year though :) ) This seems like a very good deal, just wondering if this mic will last?

Hello,

I bought a wireless headset, when my wired one began to turn my controller off, even when I bought a new one. The sound is good (a lot better then my PS3 wireless headset), and you can mute your voice by the press of a button.

It does ache a little once you take it of, but i think that just might be because of how I put it on.

I like the fact I can get up, and walk around withought carrying the controller :)

Is there really a difference? We all look lame wearing headsets to play games, anyways. :D

I like them. The sound quality is better and your own voice sounds better. It does pick up a tiny bit more background. Other than that it good.

Has anyone ever heard how easy these things break? I got one from Best Buy. It was kind of cold in my house. A week later, it doesn't turn on. I go and check the Troubleshooting for it and it says "If the headset is too hot or too cold, put it in a place where it can get room temperature. I put it in front of a heater and under my blanket and it still wouldn't turn on. I returned 2 days late and got $21.00. Yay.Balbaar

I've also been through 3 of them and my current one is breaking. Wired aren't the best either though. I've been through 4 of those and my current is broken and needs replacing.

Was just coming on here to post about the wireless headset. Overall I liked it and def prefer over wired. But I owned it for a year and treated it like gold and last night it wouldn't turn on. Worked fine Sat night but now it will won't turn on or take a charge. 60 bucks for something that lasted 12 months annoys me. Will probably look at turtles or trittion headsets now.

Is there any warranty on MS wireless headsets?

Last time I tried no. Best Buy gave me 3 months on the last one I bought though.

Do you mean the clip over the ear ones? If so I had one and didn't like it much.

I ended up buying a pair of Turtle Beach X3's. Much, Much better imo.

You should prob follow your friends lead and grab a pair of x31's yourself. Trying to listen to chat with one ear and listen to the game on speakers just does not work out well, especially if your counting on directional sound to keep you alive.

i say depends on the version. When halo 3 skin wireless mics came out it was the new model and soon to follow the white mics also. They gave more of a charge and pick up voice better.

Anyways i love my wireless one and i had it since xmas 07 still going strong. If you hate wire then you know the other choice (wireless):!:

just like anything else rechargeable battery's (i think that's reason why everyone has problems with them and how people rechargeable battery packs breaks in few months. i play alot and have two battery packs for my controllers both 3 years old and going strong then mic is two.

but anyways with rechargeable batterys you need remember the first charge needs to be the longest charge about 2 times longer then what it takes to charge an item.

don't hook it up and recharge it when there's no way it needs be charge. In xbox case you can check the percent so don't charge it when it's on 4 bars it don't need it.

don't leave it chargeing for days

those just some tips with any rechargeable battery's you come along in the future don't matter if we talking xbox or not

I'd recommend it. I don't know how other people's mics are breaking? I had mine for nearly 2 years, only problem is that the mic cuts out for 5 seconds or less. It's only a minor problem and I got used to it.

This is my problem., i came on here to make a thread but figured just keep this one goin.

My problem is i've had my wireless headset since launch. I went and got one the first day they ever came out. But even since I got it several years ago it alwasy cuts in and out. Like every min or two it will cut in and out for a shrt sec. Although the sound is great on hearing people and they hear me. They do say they get static from me a lot.

Anyway so I'm thinking is this more do to I bought a first gen model? Or maybe just a bad one that has a messed up single strength or something/ Because I'm considering going out and getting another one. But only if the newer models don't have this issue?

Or does everyone have the cutting in and out issue with all the 360 wireless mics?

mine broke they day i hoocked up my live then I got some Mike one guy said it was good at gamespot

[QUOTE="spazzx625"]I think there's a huge difference. When I wear my wired mics no one else seems to be able to hear me, like the volume is always way down. With the wireless one no volume problems or anything. After an hour or so of wearing it, it starts to hurt a bit, that's about it as far as complaints. It's probably not worth the $60 for most, but if you're getting it for cheap, go for it.Omzzz

What the hell do you guys do to break your wired headsets? seriously do you guys like throw books on it or something lol TrapMuzik92

You would be better off to get the turtle beach X1's. They cost about the same price as the wireless. Although you are getting this used, so for a fraction of the price it should be worth it until it inevitably breaks

Why are you bumping? You've already made a decision. :roll:

If your trying to find something good on a budget, you should check out TB's recert page. They carry the same warranty as new products and you can get the X1 for only $39 or or the X3 for only $69. X4 is def the best value at only $129 I owned that headset last year before upgrading to the X41s. I loved it, and my lucky friend who I gave it too now loves it :)
