60 bucks

Cool design though, I'll try for a review copy

It looks like an Ipod had sex with an Xbox Live 360 mic

Not cheap, and I'm bound to lose it somewhere, at least the current headset is so bulky that you always remember where you left it (it's got a cupboard of its own)

remember its not a simple bluetooth/ir headphone.. its a wifi headphone so they needed to begin at the ground to make this.

I hope its not heavy though.

It reminds me of a jazzed up version of the mic I already have (Datel communicator), the one that just clips behind your left ear like a bluetooth.

wifi > bluetooth

I will be picking this up. My first normal headset broke within 2 weeks of getting my 360.

Wireless headset + wireless controller = thats the biz

acromyth · September 1st, 2006, 17:51

Pimp!

TRIGGER M4N · September 1st, 2006, 18:11

I won't be buying anything of the sort, want to know my plan?

About a month after release, I phone MS and say it's broke, they ship me a new one free, hey presto!

WARNING: There is a 99.99% chance of this plan failing.

Chris · September 1st, 2006, 20:43

haha.

bigsteveouk · September 4th, 2006, 13:13

Does anyone know how the batteries work on this thing? Does it recharge?

I am constantly told to unplug my headset because of the feedback so I called XBOX.

I bought the headset on 11/01/06 at Gamestop and they do not take back opened merchandise after 14 days, so I called 1-800-4-MY- XBOX and after telling them that I wasn't using a wireless phone or microwaving food and that crap, I asked to talk to a supervisor. They told me they only back up what comes in the 360 console bundles and that I need to deal with the retailer. I told "Supervisor" Jeff 6037 that the store won't take it back and he said he could not help me. I then said "So I have a $60 paper weight" and he said "yes". So Microsoft doesn't back their products unless it comes in the system bundle?

Has anyone ever encountered this? What do you think I should do about this bull**it?

FYI - I do have the service contract, but that only covers the system bundle.

Curry · December 6th, 2006, 01:22

That sucks

I've heard way too many stories now of the headset picking up heaps of static. Wondering how my review unit will stack up when it arrives, my house is full of wireless networks and hefty electronics

I think you might have already read how pleased I was with mine (and still am) but see if yours is an UNO only problem too. I didn't get any problems until after my first full charge also. It turns up partially charged and I didn't get ONE issue with it,

Sir SpankalotUK · December 6th, 2006, 11:38

I see the news was removed from the front page, was the video fake?

micro23 · December 6th, 2006, 18:30

That was my video, and i submitted it... why was it taken off the news site?

Here is the link to the video for anyone who didnt get to see it.

I pulled it since all feedback was negative and claimed it was a fake, and although I do trust the video (hi micro123, welcome to the forum

) there's not much point keeping an article that no reader trusts, and that I cannot fully confirm is true either.

In general, the comments boiled down to "whoo his hands leave the video far too often he's a Sony fanboy faking it so he can blame MS".

micro23 · December 7th, 2006, 01:21

Ok well the video is not fake. Im using my only camera to do it and had my girl hold it. My hands left the video cause i was so close. There is no scam here you can see it all happening.

I love my 360 just got my actual one back from service today. I just want this issue fixed. How should I redo the video then? Hell i will go get a damn video camera from a friend.

For example here is one of the fifty emails i have personally recieved thanking me for making the video.... atleast it is helping some people. My threads on the microsoft forums are doing well too. So as long as it helps some people im happy.

Hi dude, thanks for posting this as it worked for me. I got fedup trying to communicate with these Microcap C@nts and you sorted it. I Bought another controller, worked A1 then I wrapped the old controller and returned it to the retailer. They can deal with the Microcrap ***.

Thanks again

Regards
Terry
