For halo fans this is a great purchase, it has the design and color scheme of Master Chief, no explanation needed for those familiar with the series.
The design is amazing and stands out from most controller you can currently buy in store. I wish it has the grips on the back like some of the other controller they released recently, but that does not change performance just comfort.

I had to go with the Master Chief version because Master Chief. Who cares about Spartan Locke? I mean really. This is a nice controller, and like the gold highlights with the d-pad and triggers. Also has new design with built in 3.5mm jack for headphones/headset, but doesn't allow for volume control without the adapter from previous versions. Early on I had some issues with it turning off by itself after the first few days. I replaced the batteries that came included, and haven't had a problem since. Weak batteries included I concluded.

The controller is exactly what you would expect it to be, a functional xbox controller. It has the new 3.5mm headphone jack built directly into the controller so there is no need to buy the added adapter for older generation controllers. I'm not sure if the triggers and bumpers are any kind of new design, but the bumpers seem to work better than my other controller that came with my Xbox. I'm a bumper jumper in most games and the original controller i have seemed to not register each time that I would push the L bumper. This controller has a different click to the bumpers and seems to be good at registering each

The Master Chief (and Spartan Locke) controllers are great additions to the themed controller collection. They feature the new(ish) 3.5 mm audio jack, along with awesome customization matching Master Chief's Spartan armour. (or Spartan Locke for the other version). The texturing on the palm rest is subtle but adds to the quality. The triggers are coloured to match Chief's visor, and the whole thing looks great.
Plus it comes with a code for Halo 5 that includes a couple of unique skin upgrades for your Spartan.

I love this. The new version of the xbox controller is a lot better than the old one, as it has a headphone jack and much better bumpers. This controller has a really well done design on it, the orange and green look fantastic, and the laser etched designs really pop. Oh, and the dauntless visor is a really cool looking visor for Halo 5. Overall I rate this 5/5, it is amazing and I would buy it again.

This Controller it's Amazing! So much detail from Master Chief! The colors, the look, the feeling.
This Controller have the new 3.5 mm so you can plug your Headphones.
Plus: The Controller comes with a DLC code so you can download a "Req Pack" and have access to the Master Chief "Gold Visor" for your Spartan in HALO multiplayer!

The design of this controller is AMAZING!! Definitely a must buy for a halo fan in your family. I love the textured grip they added with this design, makes it easier to hold for long periods of time. It has a nicer weight to it than the regular xbox one controller.

Huge Halo fan, purchased with the Xbox one Halo Edition. Works great, looks awesome, and updated so you don't have to buy that atrocious adapter.
Only gripe I can say I have is battery life, I'm glad I bought a 48 pack of batteries I saw online for cheap before I bought my console, you're going to need them unless you buy the play and charge kits.
Otherwise enjoy, great product. Elated to show that both my controllers aren't your standard run of the bunch.

A controller is a controller as far as function goes. But the controller looks awesome in person. The green actually has a kind of sheen to it that doesn't show in the pictures. It also comes with the regular headphone jack that lets you use any headset you want. Only downside is that it doesn't come with the rubberized grips that the Gamestop Lunar White controller has, but it looks so much better it's worth the extra $5.

When I decided to buy this controller, I was willing to pay the extra money, because of the Halo design. I now realize that while it's a cool and functional controller, it is no different from a regular controller, besides the different color scheme and slightly different texture on parts of the controller. If it were a few dollars cheaper, I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Halo.

This is a great controller. Master Chief styling and all. This controller is also the newer style xbox one controller, so it has the built-in 3.5mm jack for headphones. All in all, a great controller!

I bought this controller for my brother in law as a Christmas gift. He definitely likes it and he said the loved the color scheme. He is 18 yrs and plays Halo 5, Call of Duty, Destiny, FIFA 16, (just to give people an idea of the games he plays).
I opened the box so that I can take a look and get a feel for it, I also wrapped it in a Michael Kors box just to mess with him.
Anyways, as I held it in my hand it feels sturdy as the stock one does. The palm area has a slight grip but not overwhelming. The cool thing that I liked was the it has a head phone jack at the bottom of the controller, therefore allowing you to hook up and type of gaming set or head phones. The controller does nothing special other than look cool, it's no where near as the Elite. The rumbling effect is adequate, but it is not greater than the stock one.
I gave it for 4 stars because I feel like it needs a little something extra for the price point. I do recommended but only if you can get it a discount.
