Wireless Xbox headset

[Dr. P]

So I bought a wireless X-box 360 headset. The fucker won't fit into the GD plug on my controller. I've bought two corded ones. One came with the unit and has a short, the other is just a plug, sos I can only hear but not talk. Has anyone tried this product?

[Franks n Beans]

I just bout a set of headphones. The bracket goes around the neck instead of over the top. At first I thought they wouldnt be too comfortable but they actually are very comfortable. I can even wear them when I go riding cause I can still wear my helmet!

I just bout a set of headphones.

How do they fit into your XBox controller, Beans? Or did you bou a differnt kind of headphones?

Well they're not for the XBox per say, I just didn't want your thread to be lonely and didn't know what else to add. :-D

I love you, Beansy.

I gave this thread 3 Stars just because Beans said "per say".

[Spooner]

I give it 4 stars, 'cause The Sav pointed that out. :tip:

I bou a Logitech wireless heaset for X-Box. Took some photos last night of the square pegs an' round holes. Will upload, shrink, and post 'em today.

I can't help it. Sometimes these extravagant words or phrases just pop into my head.

That was Son Of Sam's defence, weren't it?

We call it the "Don King" syndrome.

[Edit, stupid question - nevermind]

It's Logitech? Is it only compatible with a Logitech Xbox controller? They deserve to be shot if that turns out to be the case.

[Dr. P]

Well, as I'd menchened, my original headset had a short, and was constantly breaking up. I'm up to three headsets, none of which work properly. Here's the new unit:

Here's the receiver which (in theory), plugs into the controller:

Here's the back of the controller, where it won't fit:

Here's the front of the controller, where it also won't fit:

Here's a controller I bought off of Ebay. Bastard has NO control plug for speaking, even though there's a mouthpiece. And I gave them positive feedback as soon as I received it:

I can hear on this one okay, but there's no way to talk.

[Dr. P]

Fuck! Mine is for an Xbox, not Xbox 360. I wonder if Best Buy'll take it back? :larry:


I'm still pissed about that one I bought off of Ebay!

[melon]

Best Buy is stupid, they will take it back.

The last picture looks like some bootleg shit, did it come from China?

[Dr. P]

No, I just checked -Wisconsin actually. But I'm sure it's all made in China.

[KungFuJesus]

You know there's a mute button on that 360 headset... I think it has to be set on green to talk.

[Dr. P]

Not on that new one I got off Ebay. Look at the plug (last picture)!

[KungFuJesus]

Is there not a white switch type thing halfway down the cord?

[mysticllama]

Isn't the talking switch what's lounging in the upper left hand side of that last shot, or is that a different wire from a different headset?

Yeah that's what I was sayin...


Here's a pic of it:

It only has volume, I fucked with it the whole time I was CODing with Billy. Either that, or it doesn't work.

[Spooner]

Yeah, I just watched the CNet video of the X-Box headset you got, and you're absolutely right: It's not for the 360 (as you now know). Best Buy should DEFINITELY take it back, IF they sell it (which I doubt).

I'm actually dropping the $59 on the stereo 360 wireless phones with the amp built in (so I can keep my freakin' game volume at a good level and still here you clowns yak (even w/the stock headset at 11, I can barely hear you fags).

I GOT it as Best Buy. Just didn't hang onto the receipt.
