What's wrong with a little used earwax? :p

a little swab of alchohol and im good. I doubt this one can get anymore gross than the standard ones, with the foam earpiece (collects dust, skin, whatever when you throw it to the ground).

"Open Box" "refurbished" and "used" all mean very different things.

I have one, and love it. It takes a little time to get used to the rubber flap that grabs onto your ear, but not having the stupid wire from your head to your controller is worth it!

Sound is good, and so far nobody's asked if I'm on a wireless headset (so it must be comparable to the wired one.)

Thanks for the tip! I got mine in, luckily. Haven't really bought anything game-related for a while since I'm in college and a bit low on cash. Summer starts in 3 weeks, and I've already got a full-time job lined up to get some money for gaming! Maybe I'll finally get my own copy of CoD4, instead of just stealing my roommates, lol.

Or change it to a deal for the X-Plorer.

Awesome product, do not waste your time on the White Wireless mic, Halo one is made differently

They also started making the white ones with the USB charger the same way as the Halo Editions. This is a great deal(dead), i wouldn't have minded picking up another one of these :/

Mine has already shipped. I paid for first class and they shipped it UPS, nice.

I am very impressed with stootsi, they shipped same freaking day. They shipped mine UPS also, and I only paid 3 bucks for usps shipping. That's crazy. :applause:

Damnit, if I wanted UPS shipping I would have paid for that. :bomb:

I hate UPS.

They don't work weekends, are slow as hell, and don't deliver my packages until around 8PM.

Plus, I don't believe it's shipped yet. They just got the shipping the info, but haven't picked it up from Stootsi yet.

Same here. I was actually pissed that my $1.99 shipping went towards UPS. Why do I hate them? Several reasons

1) Their pickup place is miles away, and I dont know how to get there.
2) They deliver when im not home so... which leads to 3
3) I live in a apartment so they will never leave the package here, and thus I can never get a hold of them

I usually ultimately have to call them and tell them to a different address or just leave the package and the door and risk theft although I've never had a item stolen here before.

Anyone receive yet?

Thanks to them "upgrading" me to UPS, it'll take a week to reach me from when it was sent out.

If they had sent USPS, I bet I would have the headset by now.

I got mine. The thing charges fine, syncs fine and is slightly muffled aka the usual low end blue tooth downside. Granted this isn't even bluetoot hand normally retails for $60.
Considering wired headsets run for $20 this is a pretty good deal.

The only huge down side? 6 fucking hours to fully charge the battery when the talk life is only about 8 hours. You can recharge it with the 360 off, but still.
Needless to say I'll be keeping my wired headset handy when the suckah needs to be recharged.

Did you guys get the extra earloop that is supposed to come with it? Mine doesn't have it. No box, just instructions, cable, and headset.

One thing I've noticed is that I can't charge the headset through the USB of my laptop?

I'll have to test it tonight on my system.

1/3 of mine work

im glad one worked. However I received NO instructions, no packaging whatsoever. Just 3 headsets in a bag with the chargers. im glad one works, I prefer it a ton over the wired (its so much louder) im happy. Theyve already emailed me a return label just have to hit up the local ups store tomorrow to send it back

That sucks.

I hope mine works after all this time I've had to wait, I've passed on other wireless mic deals.

04-16-2008, 09:44 PM
to me it was worth the gamble. I just know next time they have a good deal, ill make sure to order a few so that at least one will work, lol.

0 out of 3 work for me. None will charge.

I wonder if I can warranty this with MS?

zewone
04-18-2008, 12:43 AM
Awesome.

Wait a week just to get a dead product.

They couldn't take time out of their day to see if the damn things lit up when plugged in?

OGHowie
04-18-2008, 01:07 AM
called MS and they expect me to pay for shipping to get it exchanged.

I'm gonna just buy a new one from CC and return the defective one to them. They can return it to MS for me.

You told them you bought it second hand?

Did they want a receipt?

I'd probably be willing to pay shipping.

No, I told them I had gotten it recently.

They wanted me to include a receipt when I sent it in.

Not sure if they're replace ours since they are used.

My works. It included the packaging that looked like it was opened before and included everything. I guess I got lucky.

On second thought I rather use this over the wired anytime, the receiving volume is much higher then the wired.

Also to those that say your doesn't work: Did you charge for OVER 6 hours? Mine would not work at all or even sync till I fully charged it, but since then no problems. I had the gut reaction it wouldn't work till I kept it charging what seemed like all day.

zewone
04-19-2008, 01:40 AM
It doesn't even light up.

Yes! I had this wireless headset when Halo 3 launched and had that problem so I returned 2 of them.

Thought I'd give it another shot since they were only $20 and I still have to almost yell for people to hear me.

Mine wouldn't even light up after plugging it into any USB port. This is a common problem on the Xbox forums.
