Plantronics GameCom X30 Earset review

Plantronics GameCom X30 Plantronics made a splash last year with its GameCom Halo 2 Edition , a futuristic-looking headset that was adapted from a model created for call-center operators. Now, the company's come out with the Plantronics GameCom X30...

Offering a uniquely stylish design, the Plantronics GameCom X30 is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and eye-wear-friendly--plus, it sounds good.

The Plantronics GameCom X30 isn't wireless, nor is it the loudest headset we've tested.

The Plantronics GameCom X30, the company's stylish follow-up to its Halo 2 Edition headset for Xbox Live, is an upgrade from the standard Xbox 360 headset and won't interfere with eyewear.

Average overall with reasonable price onsale

I would not buy unless it's around $17. Everything is average for this product at this price range. Sometimes it does not sense your voice. You need to move the mic very close to your mouth. Once you able to fine the right position, it is solid. It's a...
