Built in tones will hurt your ears

Wireless headset with BlueTooth for Xbox 360
Wireless headset with BlueTooth for Xbox 360

Pros: Bluetooth connects to a huge array of devices Easy to use scan feature that allows you to change which controller slot the mic is set to on your xbox 360

Cons: Ok here is the big problem with this thing. TONES! Yes that's right I'm talking about audio tones. They are loud enough to hurt my ear drum and changing the volume of the device has absolutely no effect on the volume of the tones that it makes whenever you hit any button. When you turn the volume down, you get one tone to let you know you are turning the volume down. When you turn the volume up you get a different tone. However the volume of these tones doesn't change at all no matter how low you turn the volume on the device. The tone this headset makes when you hit the mute button is the worst. It's a very loud ping that makes my ears ring every time. When I'm playing my xbox I will leave the mic on mute so other players can't hear what I'm doing (coughing, eating, talking to people in real life etc..) and when I want to say something to other players in the game I will un-mute the mic and say what I want to say, and then mute it again. The problem with doing that on this headset is when the mic is muted you will hear a beep through the earpiece every few seconds letting you know that it's muted. So playing with the mic on mute gets very annoying when you are constantly listening to a beeping sound just so you know that the mic is muted. I already know the mic is muted because I'm the one who muted it! So if you buy this expect your ear drums to hurt from all the stupid noises it makes when you press anything. And again remember the volume buttons have absolutely no effect on the volume of these built in noises. Whoever designed it this way should be fired. And their boss who allowed the final product to be released like that should be fired as well. The sad thing is this device has loads of potential and were it not for the fact that it causes me physical pain in my ear drums it would be a really awesome universal headset.

Overall Review: I would take one of the old style white and gray xbox 360 headsets over this any day of the week.
