Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

The Xbox live communicator headset is an accessory that comes with Xbox Premium Console and Xbox elite controller and is one method of using the voice messaging services on Xbox live, The headset itself connects to the Xbox 360 wireless controller via a cable only. During this review I will discuss several concerns that affect the usage of this headset. == Usability == The headset itself connects easily to the XBOX Wireless controller and the connecter ...
...feature as a lot of other headsets use basic audio input sockets(like on a cd player) which aren’t very reliable. The connecter has a switch on it that allows you to turn of the Microphone which is useful if some come in real life is talking to you whilst playing the game. The cable itself you would think be annoying being attached to the controller and being on your head, but strangely the cable never gets in the way and is long enough not to effect ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

...was a good move from Microsoft allowing them to save money on the headset that comes with the console and allowing them to sell their upmarket wireless headset for a much higher price. If you have the cash, definitely go with the wireless headset, but if not you can just about put up with the freebie like me. Summary: if like me, you haven't got the cash to fork out on a wireless headset, this will have to do... ...

...that if your headset breaks Microsoft will send you a new one free of charge which is good to know however and does sort of balance out the fact they break easily. There is also a wireless headset which is meant to be better and I would say it is probably better if you can afford it! 3/5 Recommended but it could be better! This review may appear on other websites like Dooyoo under mariofan123 or ns1209. '''Thanks for reading and rating!''' :) ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

These are Microsoft's official headphones/headset for the Xbox 360. It is primarily meant to be used for Xbox live so that you can hear other people and talk to other people while gaming. They aren't very comfortable. They only have one earpiece, the other side is a bit of plastic that digs into your head so you have to keep moving it to stop it hurting. The sound quality is very poor, even when playing LAN games where bandwidth isn't an issue ...
...supposed to go in front of your mouth, but it is not possible to position it like that. You either have to have it really far away in front or to one side, the bendy thing that it is mounted on isn't long enough. And to top it all off this headset will cost you £15. If you really want to play Xbox live then you would be better off just not using voice or if you love voice then spending £5 or £10 on a 3rd party product that will be 10x better. ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

This headset is Microsoft's own official product and is a communicator which can be used for voice enabled chat with other xbox live users around the world. The Headset plugs into the bottom of the Xbox 360's controller. This headset goes on over the top of your head instead of round the back which sometimes they do. This is neither an advantage or disadvantage but has more to do with your personal preference. (For me I prefer over the top ones ...
...with it on I like to lean back against the wall). I have found the these headsets can break very easily if not treated very carefully as I am now onto my third one.I have found that things like resting the controller on its bottom whilst holding it can bend the headset's wire at the end causing it to stop working. On the plastic piece that connects the headset to the controller is a volume slider for the sound and a switch to mute and unmute the ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

the official 360 headset from microsoft is a good piece of equipment as it allows you to talk to anyone you want around the world with ease. the headset easily plugs into the control and you then ae ready. it is comfortable and after a while you will forget that it is even on your head as it is also very light. also as it is plugged into the controller, if you are using a wireless one you can even walk away downstairs and still talk to some body. ...
...most of the time its not that great, however it is never terrible, but sometimes you do get echo which is really annoying. it has a flexible tip which you can bend so it is near your mouth, and adjust it to your likeing. it has a mute button on the headset so that you can mute it when you have to speak to someone else or you have to cough or something and you dont want every one to hear ;) overall this product in my opinion is worth a buy as it ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

...from a big company like microsoft i believe the responsiveness leaves a lot to be desired. It is fully adjustable and will fit anyone's head, but when using the headset in live matches or talking to friends in xbox live parties it is difficult to make yourself heard and you can often be found to be shouting down the microphone, one easy way to improve the responsiveness i found was to remove the foam from around the mouth piece as this gave a clearer ...
