Just go an XBOX 360 and wondering what would be a good headset for playing games over Live. Is the M$ one any good? or can someone recommend me with a diffren't one? But also just wondering what headset you own.

Wireless baby.... I got it, I don't hear any more static with it than my previous mics (xbox, 360 , and planelectronics ones)

-Thing is it tells you when it turns off, by beeping once (which must take a long time cause it never turned off on me, before I decide to mute myself). When your muted, if you somehow forget, it'll beep every once in awhile (trust me it doesn't bother you, and its a good reminder just in case you forget. 

-Your Dashboard( or whatever you call it) tells you how much battery life is left on it (like your wireless controller), so you shouldn't have to worry about the batteries dieing. (last like 8 hours)

- Comfortable, but only comes in 2 sizes (I thought I had big ears but the smaller set feels better than the bigger one)

- Must Improtant people can hear me, clearly all the time.

My regular one broke, don't ask, because I don't know how. So that was my excuse to go buy another one, I didn't want another regular headset again because I didn't like it much anyway, but the 3 best headsets, I think that are out there are, the regular, wireless, and halo2 headset (but you need to buy a special mute button online), which makes the Halo 2 one's price almost as much as the wireless.

*Edit - it'll make the Halo2 's price Half as much as the wireless, my bad*

Not mine. I may have to look into this wirelelss one. I like flipping my controller around. Plus, I couldn't hear jack squat out of the headphones. They didn't make any sound.

It's a mix. I use the wired one that just rests on your ear with a short mic or the 360 wireless one.

Is there a headset you can get that has intergrated headphones? By that I mean I can hear the game sound as if it were from the speakers through the headphones but at the same time be able to use the mic. I often have to play using headphones because I share a flat which means I can't use the mic (Trying to fit the mic headset over another set of headphones is just impossible.)
