My expectations weren't too high since this is not made by microsoft, but overall I wish I would have spent more money on a better quality headset. This headset isn't made for adults, the microphone only extends halfway across my cheek. The earpiece fits but the speaker doesn't contact the ear and it's hard to hear quiet sounds. The volume control and mute button work alright but the sound is so low you would never have to turn down the volume. I would recommend this for a child prone to breaking things but not a serious gamer like myself. =)
