Advantages: Long use time, no annoying wires compact and feels comfortable

Disadvantages: Range not as far as controller

Since I was bought one of these by my brother, I have continued to thank him. I have my xbox360 console purely for the live functionality. If you're like me and get annoyed with cables, especially the headphone cable while trying to play your favourite game you'll love this.

The charge time of this lasts for a good 3 - 4 hours. I've been using it for almost a year now and I haven't really noticed a decrease in time. The transmitting and receiving distance isn't as long as the controller as the battery is smaller. It is ample for a big lounge (5m X 5m). If you're used to walking into the kitchen and making a brew while chatting, depending on your wall thickness, this may not happen anymore.

The indicator lights indicating charge is very handy (Counts 1 through 4 while charging and all four lights flash when fully charged) and connecting it up to your Xbox couldn't have been made easier. I find the quality of the sound and the microphone to be better than that of the controller version

Summary: Fantastic, a must for the xbox live enthusiast.
