Customer Reviews

Not perfect, but very nice
Andrew Rochford

Overall, this headset is very well made. There are problems, though, and it's defintely not for everyone. For those seriously considering purchasing this, let me tell you what wont' get from this:1)Supperior sound quality. For me it sounds good enough, but there is a noticable hit in sound quality from even the regular XBox Live headset (at least through the earpiece). If you're looking for pristine sound, you should look elsewhere.2)Longevity. If you're the type that likes to game for hours on end, you might want to skip past this as well. The battery lasts between 6-7 hours. For some, that's more than enough. For others, this may not quite fit the bill. On the plus side, at most it only takes an hour and a half for a complete recharge.Other than that, I have to say it's a darn near perfect XBox headset. First thing to notice when holding it is the feel of the plastic used. It almost feels a little rubbery which greatly enhances its comfort level. Second is that it's pretty light. Considering it houses a Lithium-Ion battery, I would have expected it to be a bit heavier, but it's very nicely balenced. Third is that it's very comfortable to wear. I can't say enough how good it feels compared to other headsets and, for me, it stays put. Even after hanging my head upside down the headset stayed pretty much in place. And, lastly, the wireless capability. This, for me, was what really brought me to this headset. It's very nice to finally cut the cord from the controller.My only real gripe is that there is a constant "white noise" that will play through the headset even when nobody is talking. This again goes towards how much you want to sacrifce for the sake of a wireless headset. I don't find the noise overpowering, but it is there and for those who can't tune it out I can understand that it might become annoying.Basically, if you're crazy about going wireless to cut the hassle and mess of cords (like myself), this headset is great with a few drawbacks that show its limitations. If you're seeking perfection in sound, stick to the cords. Read more ›

This Product Is Truely Great

This product i had doubts about with the single review, even though it was rated rather well.I got this product today and am extremly pleased with it. The one thing that bugged me with the standard headsets and caused a few of mine to break are because i'd hit the wire going from the controller to the headset and it would break off. With this no more wires and it couldn't be a more possibly comforable headset.Advantages-It's light and it fits to almost any ear by the way it is able to expand wider around the ear.-It's wireless that means no wires to mess with-Crystal Clear sound, i've heard people comment on how clear i sound-No big microphone, theres nothing sticking right in front of your face to speak into, it's a small little 3 inch microphone that doesn't even come close to your mouth but still picks up excellent soundDisadvantages-A very small kind of static noise taht i can hardly even hear when playing a game-Has a listed 6-7 hour battery i can't confirm that yet, but it does only take about an hour and a half to fully charge itThis product truely is amazing and i couldn't be more happy with it right now. I highly recommened it if you're looking for somehting that is sturdy and very well designed.

Needs a few more tweeks!

After I purchased (and fell in love with) my Logitech Wireless Controller, I realized that I HAD to purchase a wireless headset as the Controller doesn't have a place to plug a wired headset into. So, I dropped $80 into the Logitech Wireless Headset thinking that it would be as good as the Controller. Not so.Although it is designed well ergonomically, the audio had the same white noise and static and popping that other reviewers described (I have 900 MHz headphones that sound better!!). But the thing that made me return the Headset was not MY experience - it was how the unit affected the -other- gamers' audio. During most of my XBOX Live games, the other players would complain that my headset would interfere with their audio. It would apparently make everyone else's headsets echo and reverberate. Eventually they would apologize (or not) and simply mute my audio and few times I was kicked from the game entirely.$80 NOT well spent!!!I give this a one star rating because it's flaws made it unusable for 90% of my XBOX Live sessions.Sweet ergonomic design Logitech - but technically not ready for prime time...

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?
Tru Re-Vu by BQ

I have had this headset for about a month now, so I can't comment on long term reliability, but there are some things that I noticed within even the first hour of use that may help others decide whether or not to invest in this product, things that I didn't see in other reviews. Besides, this thing doesn't have that "flimsy" feel to it so it will last if you take care of it.The experts are now saying that gamers are great multitaskers, and you better hope they are right if you plan on getting this headset. There's no easy way to tell if the headset is muted or not. The OEM xbox communicator has a light on the controller insert that clearly indicates whether or not the mic is turned on and there's a volume dial. This Logitech controller insert does not have either; it has one light that seems to only indicate that it is plugged in. The volume control and a "multifunction" button are on the headset. The multifunction button powers the headset itself, and when it is on, toggles the mic muting. There's no way to tell if the thing is on mute other than trying to remember (short-term memory jokes aside, it's hard to remember after a 5 minute intense button-mashing battle) or asking the other person (after all, who wants to always be asking "can you hear me?").Volume control is acceptable because there are min and max tones, but still no mute tone. Not even a different light color for a mute status. It's very frustrating, I figure with time I will get better at remembering, because I just can't live without the mute feature.I operate this headset at full volume and its still barely loud enough to hear comfortably, especially when there's other background noise. One friend knew that I had gotten a new headset because I sounded farther away. If I push the earpiece toward my ear I it is almost too loud, so the low volume is probably due to my oversized ears, maybe it will fit your ear better.I use this unit with a 2.4 GHz wireless controller, so the receiver part that is usually plugged into the controller is actually right at the xbox itself. There seemed to be not as much interference when I was using a wired controller; I could walk into the other room with the headset on and not get any crackling. By the way, I have a wireless internet network as well, and I could be getting a lot of interference there, too. As it is, I can walk about 15 feet before the crackling becomes too bad to stand.However, the benefits of not being wired to the xbox outweigh the slight inconveniences of not knowing if your friend can hear you and some crackling. At least enough for me to stick with this setup. Overall, good Logitech quality and even if it's the only wireless xbox headset out there, it's ultimately up to you to decide if it's worth $60. If it lasts a while, it will be worth the investment to me. Read more ›
