U.S. Army Throat Mic Headset for Xbox 360

I give this 3 stars but to be fair I think it's more a matter of personal taste than any major problems with the product. I don't like the way this feels around my neck. I've had it for a couple months now and initially I thought it was just because I wasn't used to it but now I know this type of headset just isn't for me. The only actual issue so far with this headset is when unmuting the mic, everyone I've gamed with has complained that they get blasted with a high pitch noise. No way to know if it's just this particular headset or if that's problem with all of them. I don't recall seeing anything like when I was reading reviews so it might just be this particular headset or something on my end but I never got any complaints like that with my last headset so it seems to have to do with this one. Other than that no one seems to have problems hearing me and I can always hear them.

I do not use it in gaming very often, I primarily use it with an adapter to skype/mumble/ventrilo/google voice/etc in an often somewhat noisy environment. It's been working great. The people I talk to who formerly would have trouble hearing me on a regular headset have all mentioned that I come across much clearer than before and the outside noise of the room isn't spilling over into the conversation. I can also talk much quieter than I could with a headset or regular microphone which bothers those around me less. The earpiece can sometimes be a little hard to hear if the noise level is too high, but it still usually works pretty well and if it doesn't I just put on a pair of regular headphones and continue just using it as a mic.I don't know how well the push to talk works as I've never actually used it, but as a microphone/earpiece it works splendidly. In addition to the other benefits, the mic is very non-intrusive during video chats compared to a headset - the only thing less in the way would be an external microphone which could never match the speech quality this gives. I'm not sure it's exactly military grade (having used actual paste-on army mics those were perhaps a little better) but on the other hand it's very easy to put on/take off and much less of a hassle in general. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone often holding conversations in rooms with other noise going on.

This is for a gaming 10 year old who has broken a number of expensive headsets. It has a problem consistent with all the headsets that are made for xbox controllers. The 2.5 mm jack is only 2.45mm in diameter and it won't connect and falls out, or only sometimes connects (we have several controllers, they all fail). However, a little coat of solder on the plug and it's mission go!. Been working great ever since. At the price, he'd have to break 5-7 of these to make up for the full sized headsets he's trashed with normal handling. Highly recommended if you have a light touch with a soldering iron.

I think this mic is excellent value for the price. I haven't had any problems with people hearing me and it's comfortable around the neck to wear. The only thing I don't like is the earbud which becomes uncomfortable in my ear after an hour or two of using it. However, I would buy this again, I like it.

Gave to my son for A present. He likes itn

its cool

Works really well, though the earpiece is a bit uncomfortable, other than that it's great.

It is an okay cheapo headset. Does nothing to reduce background noise or pick up quiet speech.But if you are into it just looking like it is for operations, then it might be okay.Ear piece is wired and not tube.Works okay, the headset that is packagd with the chatpad is better as a headset.

Works great, not a fan of the ear piece, but the rest of it is great.

it is fine

Broke first day
