Microphone and speaker still work, however, the damaged internal wiring at the point where the headset cord meets the controller adapter requires me to hold/pull cord in a specific direction in order to transmit clear voice

The item showed up broken the wire was frayed

I think the wiring must be extremely fragile.

What kills me the most is that the wireless 360 headset worked perfectly and Microsoft disabled the Bluetooth chips in Xbox one so that they can sell these overpriced wired ones designed to break after a couple months

The wiring is junk so they start to fizzle out after a few months

It will break the wires on the inside even with the smallest tug

The wires aren't too strong and cause crackling after you use them a while.. my fellow gamers complained that I had crackling in my audio, that I was too quiet/muffled/cut out.. the microphone seems to give out.

The only con about this headset is the wire is extremely thin and tangles very easily and could end up breaking the wires connection

Very thin/fragile wire, which means you WILL be replacing this in a year or so

It will eventually either just stop working or produce a constant, intolerable noise in parties and game chat due to faulty wiring sooner rather than later

The wires come loose at the control box so be careful.

It was Microsoft stupid wires

Like others have said, the wire is weak and broke

The problem is poor wiring

We have had to throw away a couple because the wires came loose and there is no way to get them back in

This product is the cheapest set I could find, because 4 other sets just like this one has broken the wire within a 2month period,which makes me have to keep a new one handy for having to ship the broken one in for warranty replacement.

Bad wire connection

The main drawback is the wire, the majority of Xbox players would like a wireless version of this product.

Very shoddy design with poor wiring.

Seemed to have less issues as I think the poorly made wires and connections are the problem.

It is lot better quality wire then the 360 version and it is a lot longer too

All that being said, the wire is flimsy and apparently easily bent

Not aware of any experienced trauma, but wiring is damaged so that now it cuts out regularly when transmitting and produces significant amounts of static on the receiving end (reported by my friends)

The wire goes bad after a few months on every unit

The mic quit working due to the faulty wiring within the connector that goes from the headset to the

A little after that I would have to wrap the wire around the side of my neck for my mic to actually work

The wire went bad where you plug it into the controller on the first one so made sure to have my son unplug it very carefully and not pull on the wire when we purchased the second one and after a few months he could hear

and I know why they break (The wire is extremely fragile and cheap and as it bends overtime, it eventually stops working)

The wires are cheap and it wears down quickly (

My Mic wire got lightly pinched and stopped working, so I had to buy a new one

Seems the wiring in these are so poor

It's uncomfortable, never feeling like it's sitting correctly on my head, and apparently prone to breaking (I've only had one break so far)
