SteelSeries 5xB Headset for Xbox 360

January 20144 months and still great!I initially gave this headset a 1 star review in September when I first got them. You can see the original review below. I am changing this to a 5 star review for the following reasons.Sound: Sounds fantastic through the normal cord. I listen to the game sounds while in teamspeak. Great stereo sound.Microphone: My friends say I sound better than I did with my $200 Turtle Beach wireless headphones (in teamspeak).Support: I did indeed contact the Steelseries support department and they were going to have me return them for a replacement, but since I had already switched the cord and bought an extension, I really didn't have the static problem anymore. So their support was good in that regard.Glasses Wearer: Comfort: As far as being a glasses-wearer and having these clamp on my head, that has not been an issue. They are cushy soft. I use these for gaming and teamspeak, so I can play for hours and hours and they still don't hurt my head. I have had no problems with the microphone, which is easily moved out of the way. There are no fancy buttons on it for muting and such, which I have on the turtle beaches, which I didn't like and couldn't ever find while on my head anyway. If I want to mute I just click the icon on the teamspeak or on the sound on the PC.Cord Length: I do now have the Steelseries Merc Stealth keyboard, which I love, and the headphones attach directly to the keyboard, so it doesn't matter that the cord is short. If they sold these without the Xbox audio-mixer for gaming, like GW2, WOW, etc., I think they would have had much better reviews. But sadly they threw in that faulty audio-mixer cord which you don't have to use, and everyone is reporting has static. So if you just need a great pair of gaming headphones for glasses wearers (or not), they are extremely comfortable.Audio Mixer: Yes, if you use the audio mixer, mine has static. However, I found I could purchase an extension cord for the non-audio mixer cord so it is longer and goes to my laptop. Without the audio-mixer, which I think is used with Xbox, it sounds great.September 2013 - gave it a 1 star reviewI received these headphones yesterday which I will use on my PC for gaming. Tried them out for several hours.1) The cord from the headphones to the computer is extremely short. So I attached the cord to the audio mixer and then that to the PC and it works, but there is horrible static constantly.2) My friends in teamspeak said I sound like I am talking in bubbles.3) another said I sound like a smurf.I have contacted steelseries support to see if they can assist with settings to fix this, but from all the other reviews, likely they're just built this way.I bought them because I read a review that said they are designed for "glasses wearers." I just don't see it. They are comfortable and certainly beat out my $200 Turtle Beach Bluetooth headphones that clamp on my head and go through a set of batters every 2 days. But I don't see where they have a special something or other that fits around your glasses. Maybe I misunderstood the article on that. But yes, they are comfortable. So were the Plantronics headphones I tried out, but the cord for that was also short, so I returned those.We'll see how their support department handles this and I'll post an update.
