I've seen many people run into the issue of the headset not syncing to the receiver, which really eliminates the plug and play aspect of this device. Due to the poor documentation that comes with device I thought I would share what I discovered to fix this common issue:
Once everything is installed to the point where the XBox360 receiver is showing in the Device Manager (not under the sound, video, and game controllers section) I did the following,
*Pressed the sync button on the USB receiver to where the green light started blinking.
*Pressed and held down the power button to turn on and force my headset to sync.
Once I did this the headset was detected, the four flashing lights turned solid, and an extra audio device showed up under the sound, video and game controllers section of the Device Manager.
I was then able to follow the following instructions, starting from Step 2, to setup my OS to use the headset: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935748
I hope this helps out others experiencing this issue and if you are thinking about purchaing this headset, it would do it from some place where you can return it. You may not find the sound quality to be any good.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, it worked fine for the first couple of times but not so well afterwards. It's range is not even close to 30 feet that's claimed by the manufacturer.
I am using it every now and then and always with some statics in the background. it's not worth the price.
I expected this to be working with my xbox 360...
b/c it looks the same with the 360 wireless headset.
The problem(for 360ers) is that it doesn't have sync button to use with controller.
wondered why this, even with the receiver, could be cheaper than the wireless headset for 360...
the bundled receiver works for wireless 360 controllers on computer though.
just wanted to warn you guys not to make the same mistake that I made.
I'm struggling installing the driver on my computer.
Amazon should make this product not show up at xbox 360 section.
What can I say, poor mic volume, noise in sound, does not fit my ear well. Pure waste of money and time.
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATINGLY DISAPPOINTED- ESPECIALLY W/ THE MICROSOFT NAME ATTACHED. WOULD EXPECT IT TO PLUG AND PLAY- NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WORKING THAT WAY. MAYBE PLUG & EASY CD INSTALL- NOPE NO HELP FROM CD INSTALL. INSTRUCTION BOOK- AGAIN NO HELP EXCEPT FOR THE TREES SAVED FROM LACK OF MATERIAL.
i GIVE UP TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK ON 2 SEPERATE COMPUTERS AND O/S VISTA & XP. I HOPE OFFICE DEPOT TAKES BACK THIS $70 AND ALOT OF WASTED TIME HEADSET. DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY
Its a good investment, not like other reviews. The clarity goes on increasing on using. But not suitable for listening to music. For VOIP chatting, its good..
I BOUGHT THIS SO I CAN TALK TO MY FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPLORERS ON MSN. WHEN I TRIED IT OUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I ASLO HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO CONNECT AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE MIC ISN'T SO COMFY LIKE AS DISCRIBED. IT GET UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER A FEW HRS. IF I HAD TO BUY THIS AGAIN I WOULDN'T. THIS JUST ISNT A GREAT PRODUCT.
I purchased the Life Chat zx-6000 to use on my laptop with Skype. hrrm first challenge and not yet resolved is getting Skype to recognise it as a microphone/headset so I cannot use this piece of widgetry. Well I could if I wanted to use it with Messenger but I dont. Microsoft help won't help because I want to use it with Skype so I sit here and wave goodbye to A$90. Not happy. Has anyone succeeded in making this work? if so how did you do it? :(
I think this product would be great if I could get it to work. Unfortunately, it didn't First of all, the microphone is terrible. I tried to use sound recorder program to see if I could get good qualify sound but it was very low and there was background noise.
I don't recommend this product to anyone. I wasted my time and money.
This was tough to get to work the first time. There are no instructions and it disconnects frequently. This was frustrating.
Still not sure what all the little lights are. They say it is for battery life and signal strength but I am not sure which is which and how I am supposed to see it when it is pressed against my cheek.
THis is a great product idea but not ready for regular use. I would not recommend it to anyone.
