Advantages: No wires, No hassle, Easy to use, Comfortable, Works well, Well-built

Disadvantages: Needs charging and you can forget - Then it runs out during a game =(

This headset has been one of the best purchases I have made for my Xbox 360 out of all the accessories and games I have bought. It really is useful, professional and works excellently. The only drawback is that it needs recharging and is a pain when you forget to charge it and it runs out halfway through a game.

For those of you with an Xbox Live account, this wireless headset is used to communicate with. When I first saw it, I wondered how on earth it worked as it looked tiny. The truth is that it´s just one small device that fits securely on your ear like a mobile wireless headset (although those are out of fashion now). It fits over your ear with a rubber fitting. The communicator comes with a couple of different sizes to make sure it fits your ear perfectly and comfortably.

It switches on by pressing the power button on the box of the earpiece. You can adjust the volume of the voices by pressing the buttons either side of the power button. The microphone comes out from this box, and is quite short. You need to speak a bit louder to be heard with this headset, but in reality it´s no different as they can hear you anyway. It is pretty sensitive and works well.

It connects to the Xbox 360 like any other wireless accessory. You hold down the connect button on both the console and the headset, and then it will wirelessly connect. It lasts a good 4-5 hours of gameplay before it runs out, which isn´t bad at all if you charge it after every session. You can buy one for £30.98 on amazon.co.uk. This may seem expensive, but it is worth it. You will not get caught up in wires when playing, and won´t have to worry about them. It easily fits on your ear and makes you feel so free and able to move rather than worrying about yanking the headset out your controller!

Thanks for reading,

Summary: A very good headset that is wire-free with less hassle and it works brilliantly!
