Pros: Excellent build quality and look as well as overall sound and experience
Cons: Cord on the adapter is extremely long and needs a way to control the Game Sound so that chatting can be heard better.
Overall: AKG, one of the worlds most recognized headphone manufacturers brings gaming to a whole new level. The AKG GHS1 is their gaming headphones that are now compatible with the Xbox 360 due to there new adapter. The build quality and look of the headphones are to be expected from this excellent brand. They are available in three different colors and retail for $79.95 on their website. At first the headphones seem a bit faded but as they are used more and more, the sound that comes through them is truly INCREDIBLE. Everything can be heard loud and clear as if you were surrounded in the game. They are worth every penny and I fully recommend them to any gamer since they are compatible not only with the Xbox 360 but also your PC.
You can pick these up from the AKG website for $79.95. Let us know what you think and what you like/dislike about these great gaming headphones.

Rating: 8-10
Pros: Excellent sound quality, cables don’t tangle easily.
Cons: Somewhat flimsy build quality, hinges creak.
Overall: I was really surprised at the sound quality of these headphones. They sound better than some other models that cost much more. It would be nice to have a single sided removable cable included at this price but I had no problems with the 2 sided cable.
You can purchase the Denon AH-D1100 Over Ear Headphones for $199.99
Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Extremely comfortable, fantastic noise isolation, buttons very easy to use, battery lasts forever.
Cons: Looks kind of geeky, no retractable boom.
Overall: The Plantronics Voyager Pro is by far the best bluetooth headset I have ever used. Incoming calls are crystal clear with no tin sound and people on the other end of the line have no idea that I am talking on a bluetooth headset. Wind noise is non existent and the dual mics really do their job to maximize performance. Aside from performance the next challenge I have with most headsets is that after about 20 minutes they start hurting my ears but not the Plantronics Voyager Pro as I often forget its on and am surprised when I realize I am wearing it in a situation where I should not be. The Plantronics Voyager Pro easily gets my Editor’s Choice Award.
The Plantronics Voyager Pro can be found at numerous online stores as well as many brick and mortar locations anywhere from $59-$99.

Pros: Voice Control, A2DP stereo bluetooth for listening to music..
Cons: I feel the sound quality could be better as well as the ear tips.
Overall: This is definitely a full featured bluetooth headset that is worth checking out. I really did feel that the sound quality of this headset needed improvement. When I compared it to my current headset when on call, it was like night and day. I’m not sure if this had anything to do with the eartips that come with the headset. They didn’t fit very snug in my ear and made it difficult to find a comfortable fit for the earpiece. Despite these drawbacks, the Q1 offers some really interesting features and I definitely recommend you check it out for yourself.

Cons: Price might be high for some.
Overall: This is now officially my go-to bluetooth earpiece. I’ve tested many headsets before and I’ve never been swayed to stop using my current Plantronics 655 earpiece… until now. The sound quality and features available on this earpiece make it a great value and I’ve decided to award it our Editors’ Choice Award.

Skull Candy Icon 2 can be purchased at Skullcandy.com for $ 31.95
Rating: 9.5 out of 10
Pros: Very sleek design, lightweight and slim, amazing sound and voice quality, one of a kind case for iPhone 3G & 3GS
Cons: Price is a little high at $129.99, I worry about scratching the bluetooth earpiece while laying the phone down, no iPhone bezel protection.
Overall: This is my go to case right now. Having a place to stow my blue tooth when not in use is hands down the best idea I’ve seen for a case. Even with the hefty price tag I recommend this case to anyone who uses a blue tooth headset. The price is comparable to other blue tooth headsets on the market but here you also get a slim fit case which not only charges the headset but gives you a place to store it when not in use. I like this case combo so much that I’m awarding it our Editors’ Choice award.
