So it may acutally take less than that.Final Verdict: Buy it, but keep your old wired headset for when you need to charge the thing. It's a little tough to pull the ear piece off though. Clear voices on both ends and works great all around. I normally only sleep about 8 hours. Honestly, I didn't think I'd like how it feels on my ear.
I had to attach the larger of the two ear pieces. That didn't last too long. It's actually VERY comfortable. By the time I wake up it's fully charged.
Also, you have to talk at a normal level. When I need to plug it in to charge it I just plug it in whenever I go to bed since the system doesn't have to be on in order to charge it. lolThe battery lasts pretty long for me. I had to tug a good bit, but I was afraid at first that I might break it pulling it off.
It's REALLY nice that like the wireless controller it turns off when you turn your system off. Not quite like you kind of can with the wired headset since it's farther from your mouth.
I should have just bought another inexpensive wired mic, even though they break so easily, which I will have to do anyway. I was very disappointed with this purchase. My original wired mic that came with my xbox 360 elite just stopped working after less than a year. The battery life, however, is terrible. The mic works fine and sounds fine. The battery only lasts about 1/4 as long as my wireless controller. Microsoft reliability sucks.
People can't hear me quite as clearly as they can with the wired set because the mic isn't right in front of my mouth.It takes a bit of wrestling to get this on my ear and it is just a little bit too heavy to leave it there for long periods of time. I often find that if I need to get the wired headset that I won't use it at all. This unit is small enough that I can keep it within easy reach and i can get up and move around without a wire to worry about.The sound is pretty good (both sending and receiving). If you tend to play more than an hour at a time it may be a problem.
its easy to use, has good range, and lasts hours. so do away with the wires. in todays age you gotta go with no wires. i love it its a must for people who use the headset
A thing I like is that it signals that it charges the device even if the console is off; as long as it's plugged in, it will charge. So, it lasts about three hours, and like an hour charge, despite its claim to last 8 hours on a 6 hours charge. This was a good product. It had good sound quality, and it looked less noticable than the wired headset.
The volume buttons are useful, the power button easily mutes it, which is good. The mic works well. It doesn't last very long at all, maybe three hours of gaming straight, and it's dead. One critical factor i'm concerned with is the battery life.
You have to recharge it, which you can USB charge from the console with the included USB recharging cable. The ear loop takes some getting used to, I admit, but before you know it you can just slip it on.
