3 Stars good idea horrible product
I bought this for my husband and a third party head set because he is always on xbox live so i thought this would be better. Well when he opened it for Christmas he was really excited he opened it right away to try it out well, to our surprise the sound quality is HORRIBLE. I gave a 3 because it was a good idea.

4 Stars Buy this.
I bought one of these as soon as it came out. I HATED the headset that came with the 360. I had already purchased one of the Halo-themed Plantronics headsets, and wanted to use that. But if you plug it directly into the controller, you lose mute and volume controls. This device lets you connect ANY 2.5mm (standard cell-phone) headset. I’m still not a fan of the mute and volume control placement, but it is identical to how the 360 headset is laid out. Buy this and get a good quality cell headset. You and your teammates will thank you.

3 Stars Waste of money
Maybe it’s worked for others, but the one I received does NOT work properly. Cheap, cheap, cheap. I’m disappointed because I really wanted it to work with my over-the-ear headset so I could have mute and volume controls right by my thumb on the controller. Sad.

5 Stars Perfect Solution
This little device is just what I was looking for. Microsoft lack of quality on the original 360 headsets caused many gamers to go to third party headsets. The only problem with third party headsets is the location of the mute and volume switches. Almost every headset has the mute and volume controls on the cord. Even the new Microsoft headsets have the controls on the cord. This sucks! Who wants to fumble around looking for the controls on the cord while you are saving the universe or smashing the enemies scull under your feet. And if your family is anything like mine with a lot of talking and distractions in the background you probably need to use your mute switch quite often to keep from annoying fellow gamers. I was going to make my own adapter but stumbled upon this little gem. I was a bit concerned about quality due to some of the other reviews but found it be of decent quality for the price. The mute switch moves smoothly and locks into position as it should. The volume control is firm enough to hold it’s position but not too hard to adjust. I normally don’t have to mess with the volume much but there is always the gamer that thinks he/she needs to add their own soundtrack or music to the game. You won’t have to fumble around looking for a volume dial while you turn them down long enough to find them on the players list and mute them permanently. The adapter itself fits nicely into the 360 controller although it does appear to have a small gap even when fully inserted. This may have been done on purpose due to patent laws. I have been using this for over 2 weeks solid and haven’t had a bit of problem with it. My Plantronics headset works perfectly with this and keeps online gaming enjoyable. I would recommend this little gadget to anyone who is fed up with cord mounted controls. It’s definitely worth the $10! You couldn’t build one this cheap.

5 Stars Great Accessory
If you use a headset other than the orginal 360 headset this will greatly help with mic and volume control. Sturdy product, I have been using for almost a year now without any issues.

Only negative is that you can not use it with the chatpad.
