    IMHO this option sucks ass too because a friend has one that always echos back everything everyone says. It's maddening.
    That was my worry when I bought it, but for $5 clearanced, I couldn't resist. I would imagine his gaming set-up (and mine for that matter) has something to do with it. I play several feet away from my speakers and don't exactly blast the volume. I've not once had a complaint or even a comment of anything abnormal. My main problem with wired headsets being the inconvienence of pissing, getting beer, bong hits, etc., I suppose I'd like a reliable wireless headset just as well, but this was a helluva lot cheaper.

    Well, I reiterate that it works fine for me. I've never had problems with transmitting signal and it receives signal loudly enough for me to hear just fine.

    Now the caveats: I don't play with the game sound cranked up to 11, and I only play SB:LOC, which has open broadcast in the lobbies but only two-way communication in-game. It's possible that the MadCatz $5 special doesn't transmit strongly enough to make you heard over the roar of a 16-player Slayer match where everybody has their home theater cranking the bass. Since that's not my usual playing conditions, I couldn't tell ya.

    Way to go, dude! Where's your Gamestop located? I want free stuffs too! Better yet, could you just steal stuff and then mail it to me? Again, much props to your thievery.

    I got the official one, and it seems to be fine at the moment. I also do not have LIVE on my own Xbox at the moment (I'm expecting it in a week or two), but I brought it to a friend's house, and it's fine. As for it's fragility, I am very careful when it comes to my gaming things, so I don't think breaking it will be a problem, unless it's the wiring or something. Then I'm fucked. If it does break though, I might just get the Halo 2 Plantronics headset, because I've pretty much only heard good of it. It's just that I don't want to spend the money for it at the moment...

    No way. That's the best headset I ever had. Sounds so much better than my offical Xbox headset and much more durable too. Doesn't feel like anything is clipped onto your ear too when wearing it.

    I don't think they make them anymore though. If you want to buy one, you'll have to go to Ebay or someplace else to get it.[/code]
