Xbox Headsets

have done the unthinkable and gotten even worse than they were. Has anyone else noticed this? I've been through 2 mics and both of them had the same problem: The mic is absolute crap, I have to practically shout to get people to hear me. My friend also has this problem and we each have problems hearing each other at times where it gets to the point of us having to repeat each other 2-3 times..

Is this seriously our terrible luck or are the new headsets just really that crappy?

I've had one headset since 2008 and it's been working fine for me, except for when my brother stole it so I bought another one.

He probably went through 5 headsets every month, but mine is still fully functioning since 2008 in the same controller aswell so the headset jack is functioning fine too.

I dunno...I'm one of only RROD survivors too, never experienced any hardware failures.

The older headsets used the blocky output (which I never owned), I have the 'newer' one with the standard output

MS headsets have always been cheap trashy things, never liked them
