it can be used for multiple hours at a time, even if you wear
glasses.

headsets easy and safe. No more showing up at a tournament or a
friends' house with broken equipment.

voice volume controls. The independent volume controls offer
maximum power over what you hear. You no longer have to waste
time muting other players.

Since the SteelSeries AudioMixer is attached to your Xbox 360
controller, it is really easy to operate. You have the same level
of control over your controller as you've always had--AudioMixer

controls, microphone controls and access to LiveMix, all within
your thumbs reach. Easy access to independent audio and voice
controls provides players with complete and intuitive control of
volume levels for in-game audio and Xbox LIVE communication.

improve the balance of Xbox LIVE chat and in-game audio, so that
voice communication is mixed and amplified over the sounds of
fire and explosions, without having to increase the volume of
the headset and risk hearing damage.
Hidden Microphone System
------------------------
The SteelSeries signature retractable microphone system provides
additional convenience and durability. The microphone is
unidirectional and delivers clear voice communication for Xbox
LIVE. Everyone will hear you loud and clear unless you choose to
mute, but that's up to you.
