Xbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?

I just bought a Microsoft xbox360 Wireless headset from EB this morning and the lights would not come on to say it was charging ,So I left it plugged in for 6 hours in the xbox360 and still nothing .I tried to charge it on a PC and still no Joy.So I took it back and got another new one and this one is as dead as the 1st one . So I looked around the internet ( should have done that 1st) and found that these things are a complete pile of junk .How is this allowed ?Xbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?
mine works perfectly...bought it new thoXbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?
Both ones I bought were new in the package $59.99 each .both junk.
i'm on my third one right now, and second console
I took the 2nd new one back to the store and they refused to replace it .The store manager has had all this shipment of Wireless headsets returned faulty and he does not have a new one to swap mine out and he refused to give me store credit or a refund . I called Microsoft and they told me to plug it back into my console for another 12 hours ? are you kidding me ,like I want to run my Xbox360 for 12 hours straight and risk rrod just for a wireless headset . I'm disgusted with the whole situation for $59.99 it should be a perfect piece of hardware .
My wireless headset has worked just fine since I bought it.

But moreover, you don't even need to have your 360 turned on to charge stuff...
My wireless headset is almost 2 years old and its still working as if I bought it yesterday. Maybe your just unlucky.
microsoft mics are garabe.get a turtule beach x1
I bought the Halo wireless headset a year ago and from the second I used it my friends were complaining that I was cutting out, so I switched back and forth between the wired and wireless and without fail the wired worked great and the wireless cut out. I sold the wireless one not shortly after.Also, the Earforce X1's are a terrible suggestion if you just want a headset, the X1's are more effective if you want the game's sound in your ear too.

They die to but last much longer. Thank god I got it from Wal-Mart because they have a 90 day warranty. Those Microsoft wireless headsets are a joke and they are indeed utter crap. Never abused em yada yada.. they just randomly go out.. they either don't charge or power on etc. Hell, I even had a controller start actin up on me a few years ago...a DAMN CONTROLLER! That said, go back to wired or get a turtle beach. I hope Microsoft takes hardware RELIABILITY into HIGH consideration when doing the next xbox and accessories.

I got mine a year ago and its worked great. Only downside is me forgetting to charge it and it running out during a long gaming session online.



They charge using the USB cable, so if you are worried about using your 360 to charge it you can always use your PC instead. Anyway if you have it plugged in and charging on your console when you switch the console off your controllers will continue to charge until they are full, then they switch off. In that state your 360 is essentially off, just still giving power to the USB sockets to charge controllers or headsets.
I think people just treat their products poorly. I have a Zephyr chipset ''prone to failure'' a wireless Xbox headset (that I used to use before I got my X41s) and my original Xbox headset. Nothing has broken on me.
the xbox ones are garbage. between the fact that they die in very short order, are very expensive for the junk you get and the non-bluetooth connectivity they just arent worth buying. i stick to the turtles now and probably will forever. short of that its the oem wireone. i wish they used bluetooth to connect up like the ps3 but weres the money in that. imagine being able to use any headset you wanted.
