DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money on Turtle Beaches. I've had 4 pairs and each one barley lasted over two months. I'd recommend Astros, but their pretty pricy. The Xbox brand mic is actually really good. No, not the one that comes with the console. It covers both ears and has great audio. Also, you can buy a mic adapter and use your Xbox 360 headset or your favorite pair of earphones.
