I've never written a review on Amazon before, but I am so thoroughly disappointed with this piece of junk that I am now. Microsoft does not provide any literature useful for actually getting it to work in the first place. I had to search online to learn how to sync the headset to the receiver which was an aggravating and annoying experience. I finally got the thing to work and audio quality was comparable to that of a bad cell phone call. Lots of static, and audio sounded distant. I thought maybe it was a bad MSN connection, but audio did not improve even when I played music or videos straight from my hard drive. I was also told that I sounded distant and static-y. I ended up using my old wired $5 headset from eBay with a broken taped up earpiece, which sounds crystal clear. At least until I get a replacement. I don't advise anyone to waste money on this crappy product.

I've seen many people run into the issue of the headset not syncing to the receiver, which really eliminates the plug and play aspect of this device. Due to the poor documentation that comes with device I thought I would share what I discovered to fix this common issue: Once everything is installed to the point where the XBox360 receiver is showing in the Device Manager (not under the sound, video, and game controllers section) I did the following, *Pressed the sync button on the USB receiver to where the green light started blinking. *Pressed and held down the power button to turn on and force my headset to sync. Once I did this the headset was detected, the four flashing lights turned solid, and an extra audio device showed up under the sound, video and game controllers section of the Device Manager. I was then able to follow the following instructions, starting from Step 2, to setup my OS to use the headset: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935748 I hope this helps out others experiencing this issue and if you are thinking about purchaing this headset, it would do it from some place where you can return it. You may not find the sound quality to be any good.
