The Razer Carcharias was a gaming headset for the PC, but Razer's announced that they are now available for the Xbox 360. The wired headset has large cups that will wrap around your ears and features very comfortable padding. Also to help with comfort is a padded head rail.

The amplified sound can be adjusted with an inline remote. Adjusting the bass and the voices on Xbox Live is simple and at your fingertips. For voice, Razer has included a noise cancelling mic to help clean up any background noises while you are playing.
