The original headset that came with my xbox 360 was great. Fit well, clarity was fine, etc.After a couple years, that one broke (wire disconnected inside the ear piece)... so I bought this. Immediately I realized this headset has a serious design flaw - rather than placing the on/off and volume at the base where it connects to the controller, its instead dangling in the air. WHY?? Its very annoying, the original design was a lot better.To make matters worse, this headset stopped working about the 5th time I used it. How ridiculous.
