      This wireless mic works very well. Easy to sync and worked with additional games not on the box. Xbox.com is horrible at providing you any real information about this mic, but it does work with Glee revolution in addition to the other ones mentioned on the box.
      Pros- has good range and portability
      Cons- no controls like the usb version, you must use a controller in tandem to navigate the menus

      I would recommend this!

      4.0 out of 5 stars Good mic that could have been Great.....
      Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2009
      Verified Purchase
      The wireless 360 LIPS microhpone mics are extremely well made. Alot fancier then the standard USB microphones used in Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Karaoke Revolution games. They sound better as well. Less distortion then the USB mics. The mics are comfortable and have flashing lights to give them a little bit of flare. Thats personal taste. But I thought it was nice.

      So why are these mics good and not great...well they have flaws. The system of turning the mic on and off is honestly rediculous and confusing. The system of connecting your mic with the xbox 360 is equally rediculous and confusing. They use LED light indicators to show when a mic is on or off, when the batteries are running low. Things of that nature. But I'll be darned if I could totally figure it out. They did it this way to avoid putting buttons on the Mic. I can understand that...but it makes it a royal pain to get it up and started.

      The next flaw is of course game compatibility. Most games that this works with, it works with perfectly. LIPS of course, flawless. The Beatles Rock Band, flawless. Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero almost flawless, however sometimes they have trouble recognizing the mic. You may have to go into the options and make sure the mic has been selected or it won't work. Not hard but it sometimes happens. Then we come to Rock Band 2....ok...heres the thing. They added the online patch for Rock Band 2, as reviewers have noted, you need that patch. If you can't connect to Xbox Live to update. You won't be able to play these on Rock Band 2 right out the box. The next thing is...the lag...the lag is not necessarily as bad as I thought it would be. In fact it doesn't really sound as much like a lag, more like a background echo. It depends on what type of person you are...I can tolerate it. But if your a perfectionist. It could be annoying. You can try some fixes, lowering your mic volume will reduce the echo. You'll barely be able to hear yourself. But you should still perform well on the game.

      Overall I found the mic worth it. But I enjoy LIPS alot...which is what its made for. If you want to buy this just for Rock Band 2 for an all wireless setup. Wait awhile. Because its not perfect. If you want to buy this for several music based games however. I saw go for it. Its a good mic, but it does have flaws which prevent it from being great.

      I had to purchase this for the Lips game (it doesn't recognize wired mics) We did have a bit of trouble getting it working but that was user error. Luckily the game provided us with the setup instructions and after a few tries we got the hang of it. There were no instructions with the mic. I hope the prices come down a bit, we need another one!

      2.0 out of 5 stars Decent, Low Sensitivity and Hard to Turn Off
      Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2012
      Verified Purchase
      Turning the microphone on is simple, just push the button on the bottom. Turning the microphone off is a little bit harder though. You have to hold down the button for an undetermined amount of time, cross your fingers, click your heels, etc. It blinks a few times and eventually you assume it's off. Either that or you're leaving it on to drain the batteries until (you hope) there is an auto-off that will kick in.

      The microphone works very well, only minor lag, so all in all it's a nice addition to our virtual rock band. We definitely recommend it, just be aware of what you're getting.

      **Update one year later**
      We purchased two of these wireless microphones at once. The minor lag isn't a terrible issue but we have had more of a chance to compare these with the standard wired microphone and have definitely noticed that these wireless mics do not have the same sensitivity as the standard mic. We now only use these as backups when we have multiple singers.

      We've changed our rating from 4 stars to 2 stars ans wouldn't recommend purchasing these.

      3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm...Something to consider.

      I bought this product in anticipation of the new XBOX 360 Karaoke app. The app was finally released last week, and my impression is mixed.

      I'll try and keep my comments limited to the microphone, save one: there's a time lag between your voice and its playback. I suppose that's to be expected, since the vocal vibration has to be converted to a digital signal, broadcast wirelessly to the XBOX, sent to the speakers, converted to amplified vibrations, and bounced off your eardrum. Not only that, you mentally anticipate what you're going to sing even before you sing it, which increases the perceived lag.

      I know even traditional analog amplification systems have a small lag. This one's not terrible, but you do have to sing a couple of songs to get used to it.

      As far as the product itself goes, the pairing process between the microphone and the XBOX works well. However, turning the microphone off is not as simple. I haven't had it long enough to be able to rate the battery life.

      I bought my microphones used at a deep discount. For what I paid, these are fine. I wouldn't recommend the product at retail price ($50 US).

      ME.

      No issues setting up and using the mike. It does however have a slight delay compared to headsets which is a bit annoying. I haven't found any other wireless microphones that are better however for similar price point.
