i have it on, my mic muted. i use the time at the start to check team line up and mute all the people with music / dogs / french / being sick or sounding dumb then i start my game.
90% of the time i hear no chat as over my 16k battles iv muted 100k twats so when some1 normal uses comms well im there for them.

Always switched off. If there is a bit of chatter I turn it on/up, listen a few seconds, realise it's bull shit and turn it back off.

If I play early in the morning on the Euro server I never use it-- but on the NA servers I almost always do-- most of the time it's honestly useless if not platooning but occasionally I'll connect with people and we'll coordinate. Usually that results in a good game. I've also met some new platoon mates that way. Only exception is if my kids are around-- they tease me mercilessly if they see me talking to random strangers and wearing a goofy headset  |

I always have a mic hoping in the faint hope there are tankers in the lobby willing to communicate & coordinate the attack. In regards to looking for a mic to purchase Snore, do some research first. Don't purchase the cheapest one, the amount of tankers using cheap mic that you have to mute immediately at the start of the game is mind blowing. Suggested features for a mic: easy mic mute, mic boom adjustability & mic monitoring adjustment (the level of sound your mic pics up, hearing your own voice in the headset). Hope to see you on the grid, good luck on your mic purchase. :•)

On EU server, sounds to be useless to be on game chat. Always background noise as UvilleBill said (Just for the french, don't remember to listen some french words and I'm a specialist)
On NA east (from france trying to play on west one is just stupid) you can coordinate with somes players and that's cool.

Sorry for the late response, I just picked up the TB XO Seven Pros. They work well, no rechargeable batteries for the headset it runs off the controller battery. It comes with it's own adapter(similar to the MS version ) this one has mic monitoring presets. I get a good 8hrs of continuous gaming before I need recharge my controller. You can also can continue playing while recharging the controller , you don't get that annoying hiss that some play n chargers generate that your fellow tankers enjoy to hear. I've heard the Astros A40s are good. Hope this helps, good luck brother on your search.  |

I keep mine at the ready. Sometimes there are some good team mates, that talk and call out enemies and such. 90% of the time, it's people eating, smoking, listening to music, burping, yelling at the kids/wife and being annoying.

Unless you find humour in listening to potato talk, it's not worth it. First post nailed it. I bet I muted at least 27 new potatoes this weekend, alone. Most times i just turn the chat volume all the way down on my headset. i don't need to hear the tards with the kinects turned on (because they are too stupid to know that it's on) and their moms yelling at them, their dogs barking or their Mexican rap blaring. And I don't want to hear the fat asses chomping on cookies or potato chips and breathing heavily in the mic. |

I always have it off, however Violet doesn't and i play co-op on her profile with her often, and typically, game chat is just annoying, full of clueless idiots bitching about the fact that a tier 8 just penned their tier 6s side armour. I've heard 1 worthwhile thing so far "I'm in a Black prince...yeah, it used to have armour that was worth a damn, now it's shit due to all the new tanks they added, the tanks gone soft... It's now the Black Princess." What do you mean by playing "Co-op" this some secret new mode I haven't heard about? |

When i play with Violet, she's the gunner, and i'm the driver basically. We both sign in on her profile and share control of the tank. |

They were $79 before I used my $50 gift card that came with the XBONE. Hope they work OK.

I've solo'ed 99% of my total battles and turned chat off within the first week. I usually play while listening to the radio with the game volume just loud enough to hear everything though. Every once in a while I'll turn chat back on and it doesn't take long for me to remember why I turned it down. I think the only people who are actually communicating in an effective way are in party chat with thier platoons. So yeah.. no.
I have a nice set of Turtle Beach headphones though for other games.
