Does anyone have any experience with this headset? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8001431&type=product&id=1155072369462 The cable on my headset that came with the XBOX 360 is driving me nuts, keeps getting twisted up and tangled. So, just wondering if any of you guys/gals out there have used this on a regular basis. Does it work all the time or do you get any interference with it? Another words, do you think its worth the $60 bucks you payed for it?

    They work great. Long battery life and flawless operation for me. Just make sure you keep your wired headset around as a backup, because if the batteries dies on the wireless one you can't use it while it's plugged in charging.

    It's also very comfortable and fits on my ear without feeling like it's going to fall off like most cell phone ones feel like to me.

    Definitely worth it.

    Oh yeah, by the way, it also has a rechargeable battery, correct?

    Correct

    Edit: But note that it's not a removable battery - you have to plug in the headset to charge it. Which is why I recommend keeping your wired one around, just in case.

    I found it uncomfortable and gave it to a friend. Also, I don't like that there is no quick way to mute the mic. I don't need everyone on Live hearing me yell racial slurs towards my wife.

    I have one and really like it, but as others say keep your wired one on hand. I have noticed with the headset as well as the controllers they lose battery level even when they are sitting there "off" overnight. I have noticed that even when my 360 is off as is the controller I can see a faint light coming from the quadrants on all of my controllers.

    One quick press on the "power" button mutes, and another quick press unmutes.

    Well, picked this unit up today at lunch time, had a $20 off Reward Zone Certificate that I had to use before the end of the month. Looks like I will be atleast trying it out tonight, haven't been on COD4 in a while.
