Official Xbone headset any good?

Genchy, no mate you cant mix in your own voice, the only adjustment is a fade between game sounds and friends voice's, you get no feedback of your own voice. Think of it as wearing standard headphones and talking to someone, that's the effect it has.

If you have a set of TB's or similar you are probably better sticking with them. I personally had nothing but couldn't stand the new free headset (kept slipping off my head) so these fill the gap between price and functionality.

So they don't have a sender? Interesting, I'm asking because I am considering getting some, one of the things that was putting me off was having another sender unit and more clutter.

.

And XP500' are an excellent bit of kit and wireless phones and wireless pad is the best solution! it's far more convenient in so many ways not to have your head tethered to your joypad.

Oh an Genchy,

You still have cables going into the wireless sender on your XP500's and they need a power supply. The Microsoft ones simply use the chat cable for everything.(an yes the chat cable and adapter are in the box)

I have it, An I think its really really good for the price as it also includes the headset adapter which is £20 on its own.

The game sound is passed down the chat cable aswell so they're great for hearing footsteps in COD. Or just having the game osund loud without waking the Mrs at night. They have great bass and are comparable to any sub £100 headset in my opinion.

But the convience of just 1 small cable from the controller to the headset wins for me. Even "wireless" gaming headsets have cables somewhere an they need the chat/talk back cable anyway. An wired gaming headsets have about 10ft of cable which is very annoying.

They're basically a wireless gaming headset.

Paid for these today. (Shopto)

Let you know how it goes tomorrow!
