Well I am a big guy I am very tall really round head. The top piece of clear plastic would be the wrost. And to solve all your static probs with this head sets its just you have it on to much to the gamming side of to the chat side I fixed it today. It is really good. I really didnt like the guy that sold this to me they didnt even ask me for the color I wanted. Everything else was fine easy to setup. Took me 2 mins to figure it out. Its really nice overall. 1 tip if you are really loud put some cotton over your mic it helps reduce the pain you give to your friends ears when you talk.

I love this headset. It looks pretty cool, it's easy to use, and it is worth the price. I will make a follow-up review in a few weeks but for right now here is what I like about it; The sound quality is great. I can leave my house and still hear my game. The padding is comfortable. The only headset I have used that is better is the Tritton AXPRO headset.

I've had my headphones for about 2 months and am extremely pleased with the purchase of these headphones. I was actually debating between this and the TurtleBeach XP400. I almost bought the XP400 (on sale at the time) until I found in the small print on their site the Bluetooth radio is mono only. Many people seem to complain about the need of the cable for XBox Live and blame it on the headset manufacturers. This in fact is a fail on Microsoft's part as the only way around it is to have a Bluetooth transmitter to connect to the controller. It seems Microsoft may be working on this as I've noticed my speaker icon indicating I'm speaking without the cable. Only cons are the need for a cable to connect to a cell phone/music player and the fact it dosn't "remember" your settings (e.g. light settings and audio enhancement mode). A way around the cell cord thing is to buy a portable cell phone charging battery/booster battery with a standard USB port then at least you don't have the cable between the headphones and your music device.

Overall, the headphones are sweet. I am a video producer and audio engineer, as well as an avid gamer. I wanted something that would give me clear audio and booming bass. These work fantastic for picking up enemy footsteps or for EQ'ing your bass guitarist. They will rattle your eardrums and rock your socks off. My fellow audio engineers and gamer friends are astonished by the overall quality and mesmerized by the wireless and universal capabilities. I traded up from Turtle Beach px21's that I used for a day an could not stand the background noise and electrical feedback. They do lack comfort for larger heads due to the lack of adjustability; however, it is nothing unbearable. If you want quality prosumer headphones to give you an edge, or to crank your music, then these are for you.

I bought these simply because they have wireless capabilities and they are rechargeable. The setup is simple, nice, and easy. and even if you aren't good with wires or setting stuff up, theres a really simple step by step guide to help you..................What a really liked about them was the sound quality and the retractable mic, also the three setting for bass, surround, or basic sound is actually i very nice quality, i enjoy listening to the big booms when playing battlefield, but then i can switch over to surround when awareness is the key, like in dead space, or when playing online. also the charge duration on them is awesome and only requires a mini usb cable to charge. it also comes with a auxiliary cable that you can plug into the headset and then plug the other end into things such as your ipod.................... what i didn't like about them was the mic for me was over sensitive, it would pic up someone in the other room doing dishes, or simply my cat meowing 20 feet from me. also sometimes the mic wouldn't work at all, and my friends couldn't hear me, which was usually fixed by turning them on or off or by unplugging the headset cord and plugging it back in. Also if you have big head as in like the "one-size-fits-all" hats fit everyone but you (like me) you will find that the headset is uncomfortable and will put a lot of pressure on top of your head. Also my headset would randomly set off a tone really loud for about 3 seconds, then turn off, and then turn back on randomly like nothing happened. and it did this multiple times within the 3 weeks i used them. Also if you charge the headset while talking to your friends online it will hum and your friends will hear it also, and it is annoying, and its really bad if you are also charging your controller at the same time. All in all its a nice headset, it just wasn't the one for me, i would recommend this for people, unless they had big heads. then id point them to a tritton headset or something else.

(The "***" are to separate my paragraphs, I wanted to make this review straight forward)***Pros: -Works on Xbox 360, Ps3, PC, and mobile devices -Pretty sturdy -Clear sound -Inexpensive for a Universal headset ****Cons: -It will heat up your ears -Looks like a blue rainbow on top of your head -You'll need an adapter if your tv doesn't have audio OUT plugs (Red/white plugs) and a headphone jack. -Pretty heavy, it'll hurt your neck at first but you'll get used to it -It doesn't look pretty professional -The mic makes you sound like you're on a megaphone -Very bulky ****Overall, its a great headset. I'd rather slap in $50+ extra dollars for some Turtle Beaches because they're a lot better. But if you don't want to spend that extra money, then get this if you like.
