I recently noticed that the headset for my 360 was not behaving correctly any longer, it was one of the original sets, and I'd had it for numerous years. It started popping, and my speach was garbled according to my friends.
So, I go to the store to find a new headset.
This is really only for chat, higher end headsets will do game audio as well, but I don't have any need for that. This meant that I needed a base model, and the Microsoft headset is built.... poorly.
Enter the PdP Afterglow headset. It's the same price as the cheap Microsoft headset, but MUCH better constructed. Pretty much everything about this headset is of much higher quality than the Microsoft Headset.
Highly recommended if you 're looking for a simple chat headset.

This headset is better than a regular Microsoft headset. It is quality made, has the appropriate length cord for my preference (not too long). The only thing I don't like is the custom plug style that uses power from the controller to light up the headset as it will remain lit even after turning the controller off. The custom plug also prevents me from using it with the headset adapter for my XB1

If you're looking for a headset without a big price tag, this one is perfect. While my son would like both ears coveted, I prefer this one because he can't say "I didn't hear you"

Good product for price. Given to older child as a gift. Would not give to a younger child. Head piece is clear, hard plastic that can break very easily. My son said the volume control is easy to use and he likes how light weight it is on his head

I purchased one set for my son and it went bad in 4 months but thanks to the extended warranty I purchased for $5 I was able to get a replacement for a discounted amount. I purchased another warranty as I am not sure how long the second pair will last. So far so good but for $20 you really can't complain.

This is for my 9 year old son. He loves this headset. It's light so it doesn't weigh his head down. He can mute it if he needs to. But he always chats with his friends during games. My son is very content with this headset.

Bought these because our dog destroyed the other ones. Was skeptical at first due to them being inexpensive but they work great. They are comfortable while playing even if for several hours and good sound quality.

If you are strapped for cash and can't afford the really nice headphones, I highly recommend this head set. It has great sound quality and people are able to hear you with ease. For the small price, you get great quality!

My son uses the head set everyday. For the price I wanted to see if my son would take care of the cheaper head set before buying something expensive. My son uses this head set everyday and it works well for being cheap.
