Advantages: It's light

Disadvantages: Breaks very easily, poor quality, bad mic

I got this headset when I bought the 60GB Live Starter Kit and it's the worst accessory I've owned for any games console. They also come with the Premium 360s but as well as this one, it broke after about a month.

I went through four of these because each time it broke, I took it back to Gamestation and got it replaced. They sell in most shops for £15 and I advise you, do NOT buy one! They are very poorly made. They feel flimsy, the audio quality is terrible and the mic always crackles. They break so easily and for no reason. Just from using it, a part will break off.

After Gamestation would no longer replace my headset (apparently I wasn't being careful with it, which was comepletely wrong) I bought the Turtle Beach X1s and the improvement was huge. Seriously, you are wasting your money buying this headset, instead get the X1s. They are reliable, comfortable and the audio quality is so much better. It also has in-game audio so if you're just playing audio through your TV speakers you will hear a massive improvement. I've written a review about them if you would like more information.

The only real advantage I can think of for this headset is that it's light and small but this also makes it feel cheap. It makes sense that these come free with your 360 because they are not well designed and produced.

Summary: Buy X1s
