Does it come with the console?

Looks so much sleeker and better than the PS4 hackjob of a earphone.

Eh, I ditched the standard 360 headset after I broke like 3 of them. For people that bought the plug n play for the 360 did you notice any long term problems? Mine barely holds up an hour now..


my standard headset lasted 7 years and was still perfect until I lost it during moving.

Does it still use a 2.5mm jack?

I'd like to know that too! I have a headset I don't want to throw out.

It's not included in the console, while it is with the PS4...

It looks very sleek and nice build, no matter what the usual sheep-crowd says.

Both are pieces of crap. If you are a serious online gamer you will buy a Turtle Beaches, Astro, etc instead of using these worthless headsets. I can't go back to regular headsets after having Turtle Beaches. Surround sound ftw

This.  The clarity of the voice chat in any of the more expensive headsets and sound quality is far far better.  Even if you get the cheapest Turtle Beach, $40, it's a whole hell of a lot better than those garbage $20 pieces of plastic.

I can still hear the 12 year olds scream at me just fine with the $20 as i would with the $100 one lol. Jokes aside i agree.

Yeah the battery was completely dead after 3 years. I use normal AA recharcheables now. I always have a bunch stuck in the charger for Wii motes, balance board, 360 controllers, camera's, kids toys. I use my laptop to charge ps3 controllers, those batteries still charge fine.

The PS headset needs a earhook. The Xbox's looks more stable.

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.
