Product Description

Product Description

A battle is no time for a communications malfunction, as losing contact with the rest of the squad can mean complete annihilation. Fortunately, Halo 2 gamers who play on Xbox Live can focus exclusively on strategy and forget about their equipment thanks to the GameCom Halo 2 Edition Xbox headset. Plantronics, the world leader in lightweight communications headsets, engineered the GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset specifically for Xbox gamers gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to Halo, the bestselling game from Bungie Studios.

With the headset's superior voice features, online gamers can take full advantage of Halo 2's stunning new multiplayer challenges and also gain a competitive edge in demolishing the opposition. Online multiplayer Halo 2 battles take on new intensity with technological and feature set advances, and the headset also lets clans more effectively strategize and trash talk.

An optimized speaker, noise-cancelling microphone, and contoured one-ear fit maximize the audio for gamers' complete immersion while also letting them stay aware of what's happening in their other reality - the living room. The GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset delivers a weightless, custom fit for hours of comfortable play so gamers can focus on performance.

Manufacturer's Description

Get your head in the game with Plantronics GameCom Halo 2 Edition Xbox headset, specially designed for long gaming sessions! It features a noise-canceling microphone for greater speech accuracy on Xbox Live. The GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset combines an innovative design with advanced microphone technology, resulting in a stable, great-sounding headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it now!, 20 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This is amazing. I play on XBOX live all the time, often for hours straight. The standard headset is okay but after about half an hour of wearing it, it becomes uncomfortable. Also the standard comunicater is flimsy and just feels cheap.

This however is solid, easily adjustable, and the sound quality is so much better. Also if you like having the microphone right next to your mouth then it won't pick up your breathing.

The only bad thing is the price, but if you can pay it buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, with some slight sacrifices, 12 Jun 2005
By Alexander Whiteside - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This headset is amazingly comfortable. It's a vast improvement on the standard Live headset, especially if you wear glasses, and is probably second only to the GameCom X20 headset in that regard. The earpiece is attached to a ball joint and can be extended considerably (~1 inch) away from the body of the headset; the boom's ridiculously flexible, and can be bent into, and will hold, just about any curve (even an S-bend). These make it very easy to fit to your own face, although the earpiece gets slightly uncomfortable in prolonged sessions (~3 hours). A variety of earbuds are included; the default earplug-type blocks out outside sound, so isn't especially handy if you use a surround rig, blocking out directional cues. The soft, spongey earpieces, however, let plenty of audio through, although this can make it hard to hear teammates if you're caught in a noisy area.

It's light in weight and very compact if folded; with a small tin to store it (and the Communicator adaptor) in it should be easy to take to LAN parties. It also seems very robust; while I wouldn't go out of my way step on it, the sheer smallness and the number of joints bode well for it survival.

Some small sacrifices have to be made, however. The small size of the earpiece's transducer means that sounds are slightly thinner and higher-pitched than the standard headset. The microphone is every bit as good as the standard one, however. The final drawback is the price, which is a bit steep. However, if like me the standard headset tries to rip your ears off and insists on tangling on the legs of your glasses, this is a wonderful investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, 14 May 2005
By Paul Wastell "warmasterdevilfish" (Middlesbrough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After the inevitable demise of my standard headset, i started looking around for a substitute. I didn't particularly fancy paying £20 for the cheap microsoft standard set (although made by plantronics, still not up to standard) so i asked around a few friends. That lead my search here, to this baby. Now i know i just said i wasn't gonna pay £20 for a headset, but its a quality thing, this is far better quality and well and truly justifies it's price tag.

When i first tried it, as other people have said, it can feel wierd and take a while to put on, but once you get used to it, you're away. I work in a call centre and use a very similar type of headset, so similar that its the same model in a different shell (with an £80 price tag i might add).

Sound quality is perfect on both ends (microphone is ideal, as is speaker output). No real faults on that front.

All in all, if you just want a standard headset to use, don't buy this, go buy yourself a mobile phone bud set, however if you fancy treating yourself and want the best sound quality you're gonna get out of your xbox, this is the way to go.
