I got my headset when the 360 launched and even though everyone says how awful it is I've never had one problem with my headset until recently. I can still talk in the headset with no problems but I can't hear anything at all. I have to set it to hear through the TV so I can hear the people I talk to. Every once and a while I can hear a few words or so through the headset but it's mostly not working anymore.
Does anyone know a way to fix this or will I just need to buy a new headset?
And what headset is the best one to buy?
Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Problem with headset...
Best to just buy a new headset. I have a wireless one, it picks up a lot better, has a decent battery life, and is worth the cash. I've had it since September (got the Halo 3 version, same as the regular anyway). My recommendation therefore would be to get the wireless headset; the only real problem is later in it's life it will have random disconnects more often -- not too big of a deal.
I would advise toward getting a new headset, as well. The wireless ones are just better, the sound quality's better, you don't hear peoples' breathing when they use them, and you can hear clearer as well. And when they say their "P"s, it doesn't sound like they're going at your ear with a drill....
Not to mention the fact that you look like less of a prick when you're wearing it.
Mines doing exactly the same, I'm going to get a new one.
The wire for the headset must be torn or something, because whenever i bend it in a certain way it works again.
