I liked the original xbox headests
Yeah I guess you could actually lay back on your Lazyboy without the headset interfering and you can control the volume, but the problem is the volume itself! I play Halo 2 live and it's annoying when you are in a game where grenades and rifles are going off and you can't hear your teamates at all! There are also the occasional teamates who talk with no enthusiasm, so it's basically impossible to hear them with any TV volume! I had to rip off the ear piece coushin just to be able to hear a tiny bit better. It's not that my headset is defective either. I bought another one of these headsets thinking that it was in fact defective, but the same problem happened. All of my friends who own an Xbox 360 agrees with me in that these headsets aren't good.
