Ready... Game... Fire!

Defending the Earth from hostile forces-say, during the Covenant invasion in Halo 2-requires teamwork, coordination, and top-notch communication. You're on your own for the first two, but for the third, we recommend the Plantronics GameCom headset. And...

good product

The headset that comes with the X-box was very fragile. I taped it back together but it fell apart in no time. This ear piece is great, you forget you have it on after a couple of minutes. The microphone also bends so you can adjust it accordingly. A...

Descent headset, could be better

I constantly had people telling me that I did not sound clear. Ended up giving this headset to a friend with the original xbox. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A XBOX 360 MICROPHONE HEADSET, LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Light, easy to wear

Bad Microphone with xb360 controller

Great Headset

This is a truly great headset for those of us still gaming on original xbox. Its sound quality is loud and clear, the pick-up is perfect as well.

I love it!

This head set is so much better than the standard 360 headsets. for one thing it puts the sounds straight into your ear, not on the outside of it & i think it's louder that the 360's. It's a must buy if you can't hear anyone on your 360 headsets!

Best Headset Presently Available

This thing is comfortable for long periods of time and the sound is superb. I once upon a time had a Plantronics headset at the office that was virtually identical to this--same high quality. Since these are on sale relative to their original MSRP,...
