Tired of that crummy headset that came with the system? Well Microsoft has the answer to all of your problems. The Wireless Headset is a breath of fresh air. Ever since I started using the headset, life has been a little easier while playing online. It feels good to be able to move about without wires. This is well worth the investment and a must-have for all gamers.

What’s really unique about the headset is on the dashboard.  You can see how much power your headset has. It will also beep to let you know when power is low.  Another nice feature is that it doesn’t use the controller power. When properly charged, you can get about 8 hours of use. It can accommodate up to 4 headsets at one time. The range on the headset is about 30 feet. Also, a power adapter is included and is simple to use.

I don’t really see a lot of gamers using this headset, but I also hear that they keep buying the old headset. At $19.95 a pop, I would just invest in the wireless headset. There’s also a Halo edition on the market as we speak. I have not seen a black one yet but will let you know when it comes out. At $59.99 this headset is a steal and a very good investment for online play.
