Polk Audio Melee Headphone - Black - Xbox/Xbox 360

Polk Melee gaming headset

Games have profoundly complex audio, combining music, ambient details, special effects, and dialog. What’s more, a first person shooter game presents an entirely different world from a driving game. After an in-depth assessment of the players in the audio industry, Xbox chose Polk to unleash the rich, complex audio contained in Microsoft’s most popular games. This is a relationship in which the skillsets of the two companies complement each other perfectly. And the Melee headset is the result.

Retractable near field microphone tucks smoothly up into the ear cup. No tangled wires, no clean up hassles. Polk’s audio mixer adjusts listening modes, audio, and chat levels on your Xbox 360. You never take your hands off the controller. Digital Signal Processing delivers high definition audio impact with Dolby Digital decoding. In the first collaboration of its kind, Halo, Forza Motorsport, and Polk have created optimized custom immersion modes that reveal more of any game then you’ve ever heard before. The Melee becomes your headphone for a tablet, computer or smartphone. A one-button control lets you take calls.

Designed for the serious gamer, the Melee features Halo FPS, Forza racer, cinema and music immersion modes. These headphones are, however, much more than a gaming headphone. Fashioned with comfort foremost in mind, their sonic performance is more than capable of taking you not only deeper into any game, but also deeper into your music and movies.

Reviews All Day Long

Headset was great and customer service is AWESOME!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2015

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I bought these things for $26, so my review is based on that price point. Overall, these things are awesome but there are some notes to add:

Pros: These things are good sound quality, feel great with soft padding (leatherette? soft and nice), easily adjusted, and look great. I have used Polk products in the past and have always had good experiences. See below regarding customer support.

Cons: Xbox One capability is limited based on a lack of the proper cables. The original connector is meant for the 360 controller and thus does not fit with the Xbox One or standard 3.5mm jacks. Audio is clear but bass levels are a bit low when connected directly to X1 controller.

Customer Service Experience: The box I received said that it was compatible with the X1 with a free upgrade kit offer on the box. Since there was no expiration listed on the offer, I took to the Amazon Review and saw that others have followed through with this offer and Polk has made good on it. That is exactly the case here. I went to Polk's forums, found the info I was looking for, and via email with a Polk employee directly (not just a bulk email address), they collected my info and sent me the necessary wiring. I received a 3.5mm jack with in-line mic, headset adapter for X1 controllers (NOTE: New controllers now have a 3.5mm jack on them making this adapter unnecessary, though I still use it so I can control sound from controller rather than dashboard since I can't pause racing games like Forza when I'm playing online), and the also included a micro usb cable which wasn't necessary, but helpful for me to update the controller. I could not be more pleased with Polk and how they handled this. In this day and age, customer service is so important, and Polk reminded me that you can be a worldwide brand and still have a human element. Will absolutely buy future products.

Who knew these were going to blow me out of the water?!!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

These are high quality head phones! I mean seriously.... I read a little of the reviews and was kinda torn between getting them or not but man. their construction, sound, attention to detail are just perfect for the Xbox 360. If you submit for the warranty then they will even send you a free Xbox One adaptor.... What is not to love. They have designed this to be the least cumbersome as possible with only a single thick shielded cable (S Cable) going down to the Xbox 360. I have had others that are like a tangled web of wires and it irks me as it looks awful and you always seem to get just one of the wires caught somewhere and you have to stop to correct it. They do have a little bit of noticeable weight initially but you soon seem to get used to it. One point I like is that the voice mic is merely a small drop down from the left ear muff. It is perfect as it picks up your voice just fine without making it sound like you are yelling. I think you are going to like these!

Great sound, comfort, and versatility

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2015

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I bit on these when they were super cheap about a week ago, but I'd feel good about the purchase even if I'd paid the current asking price of $80.

As of the end of last week, Polk is still sending out the Xbox One adapters, but I'm not sure how many more boxes are marked for the promotion. I haven't received the adapter yet, but will try to update my review when I do. The adapter kit can be obtained by e-mailing a support person (Ken, I think) who shows in the Polk Audio reviews/support page of the product. The kit includes an adapter to plug the headset into the Xbox One controller and a boom microphone.

I tested the set out pretty extensively over the weekend, listening to music and playing games on my PC and Xbox 360. This is my first gaming headset (outside of the chat-only ones), so I can't much compare to others, but here's my experience distilled into bullet points -

1. For the Xbox 360, one cord attaches to the headset and another links to the controller and passes through to back of the console, via a thick cord and an audio processing module that attaches USB power and Toslink sound to the Xbox. The cord length from controller to console is generous - I'd guess about 15'. Where the headset attaches to the controller there are volume knobs for the game and mic audio, which can be pressed to mute either one. There is also a power button and an equalizer button that cycles between presets for Shooters, Racers, Movies, and Music, the first and third produce Dolby Headphone sound.

The mic is hidden inside and muted when not in use. I haven't tested it yet. The sound is great to me: I had no trouble at any point discerning the direction of a sound and was able to pick up on a number of additional audio and musical cues that I could not using my TV speakers. Listening to the music in Fable 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and Halo Wars (I have a big backlog; I know...) was sublime and so was telling where my dog's bark came from (or from where those damnable gargoyles were mocking me), where a guard spotted me, and the location of a Wraith was great to experience.

2. For non-Xbox devices, there is also a 48" standard 3.5mm audio cord. The audio quality was a huge step-up from my computer speakers (mid-range logitech 5.1), earbuds, or other headphones. Voices were clear, bass low without turning muddy, and every instrument distinct. I only wish there was an on-cord volume control - these things are very loud if you happen to plug them into a device set to 100% volume, as my PC usually is. I found 10-15% to be fine given how well the set keeps out noise from without.

There is a button on the cord to answer phone calls if you're plugged into a phone. I haven't used this feature.

3. Comfort. At one point I wore these for four hours straight. That might tell you all you need to know, but if not... They are pleasantly heavy (to me, over half a pound), the padding is not lacking and the phones fit around my ears easily. There is a bit of ventilation around the outside of the phones, which seems to help keep the inside from getting too hot. As the padding is covered in leather, you can get sweaty where it comes into contact with your skin.

4. Build quality/other. These don't block all sound from the outside, but even at minimal volumes, the real world won't interfere with whatever you're listening to. I haven't had these long, but the build seems good. The ports are solid, cables thick, and frame a metal, plastic, leather combination, that, while obviously plastic in places, doesn't feel fragile anywhere. The fit is adjustable and when not in use the phones can be laid flat.

In short, the only thing I don't love is the lack of volume control on the 3.5mm cord. This is a versatile, high quality headset and is absolutely worth a look (listen).

Great for music

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I cannot speak for the gaming quality yet. I am waiting for the adapter for the Xbox one. I love that I can use these as regular headphones. They come with a wire to swap out the gaming wires with. Very nice feature.

The noise cancelation and sound quality are solid. I was previously using a pair of Sony headphones. These Polk Melees blow those away.

I bought my son a set for Christmas for his Xbox one. I figured for the price I'd take a chance and get myself a pair for my iPad and iPhone. I knew of Polk from car audio so I figured it was a good gamble. Not disappointed at all.

Great deal

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020

Color: GreenVerified Purchase

EDIT: 3 stars I have had these for 2.5 months. They just started acting weird due to the wire from the back. If it is moved in a certain direction it makes an ear piercing sound and cuts out. I’ve had to tape the chord to the batter pack of the remote so that it won’t move. Contacted seller- will update if issue is resolved.
5 stars: Work well for the price. The chords are long enough to go from my Xbox to my couch and don’t really get too tangled. They are comfortable and I wear glasses

Excelente producto tiene varios accesosorios y la caja esta muy bien sellada. No puedo usarlo al 100% ya que es para xbox 360 y no tengo. pleanaba usarlo para la PC con el cable 3.5mm que viene integrado. lamentablemente el micro del headset no funciona con este cable, en lugar se activa el micro que el cable tiene integrado.

Si no tienes xbox 360 o Xbox one no le vas a sacar el maximo provecho a estos audifonos, aun asi estan muy buenos.

Es para las personas que les gustan los bajos. Son algo pesados pero te puedes acostumbrar. El accesorio para conectar con fibra óptica hace que el sonido se escuche muy claro.
