I bought this headset because I found the original wired headset presses against my head too hard and after an hour or so this became unbearable so I had to stop using it. I admit my head is probably bigger than average, my crash helmet is XL, so if you are a 12 year old, or have a smaller than average head, you will probably have no problems with the wired one.

My main problem with the wireless headset is after using it for 2-3 hours it starts to give me a headache, after this starts it gets continually worse until I have to remove it. I believe this is because of the wireless technology, it’s the same as having a mobile phone against your ear for a couple of hours-it starts to affect your brain. If you only play for short periods you may not notice this, but if like me you like having a right good session, you may experience this problem.

My second issue will only affect a tiny proportion of users. I have Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound on a Panasonic system which has wireless rear surround speakers. It is impossible to use the wireless headset with my surround sound system, the wireless signal from the speakers interferes with the signal from the Xbox to the wireless headset, other players have complained this causes my voice to continually break up so much they cannot understand me. This is not supposed to happen because the headset is supposed to find a clear channel, but in practice it is unusable with my surround sound.
