(More customer reviews)Wow, this is by far the pimpinest headset that ever did pimp, for the 360 anyway.
Right off the bat I have to say one of the speakers in the left headset had a short in it when I got the unit. I got on the phone with support and they took really good care of me. They actually sent me a replacement unit BEFORE I sent my unit back. That was really nice. I had to pay for shipping my unit back, but I really didn't press the issue either. Cross shipping is pretty rare today so I have to say support for these are great.
I play my 360 on my computer monitor at home which is in the living room with my wife. She's usually watching TV so I wanted something that would give me the super quality 5.1 audio, but I needed it in a headset so I wouldn't disturb my wife. I also needed something that would work as a 360 headset so I wouldn't have to wear 2 headsets (one for xbox live and one for game sound).
This is the perfect solution. The sound quality (now that I have a replacement headset) is 2nd to none. They're very comfortable which is important for hours of gaming play. Did I mention the sound quality is great?
It works very well with xbox live and they give you PLENTY of cord for the headset. It even includes an optical cable and has an adapter for hookup up a 5.1 computer sound card. That's a nice touch. I can use it for my computer too.... Like I would go back to the computer after the 360 though...
It also comes with a nice velvet carrying sack too just in case you're taking your setup mobile. Documentation is a little lacking, but there's some info on the manufacturer website if you can't figure something out.
I find myself contemplating buying one of these for work since i listen to music all day at work too.

Update: I forgot to mention that the mic that comes with this headset is crap. I ended up getting a corded mic/earpiece at the dollar store with a mini RCA jack. The kind that's sold for hands free talking on cell phones before the days of bluetooth. Works really really well with this setup. I put the little earpiece in my ear so i get direct XBL chat in my hear and put the headset on over it. This setup also overcomes the issue a lot of games have with not having separate volumes for XBL chat and game sound. It's easy for XBL chat to get drowned out with game sounds. Having an earpiece in for xbl chat and wearing the headset over that completely solves this issue.
Again, i stress... sound quality on this thing rocks and the decoder box also supports 2 headsets just in case you want to have one one for a friend.
There's also a newer version of this headset put out by the same manufacturer that's supposed to be even better than this model for XBL chat. I haven't tested that one though.
