It is pretty good, but you'd almost be better off getting just a headset. That is unless all of your friends have a game voice. After having one since they came out, i have yet to use their controller [the only reason to buy one] in a game situation. But i will say it is nice to have even if you don't use some of their features, it is nice to have a volume button right nearby, as well as having the option to switch to a set of speakers without hooking and unhooking things. The mute button is also nice. It's up to you, and i do like mine, but i probably wouldn't buy it again.
