Xbox360 Headset....

Xbox360 headset for xbox360 live... Nothing new here....

  • Boom microphone can be adjusted for optimal sound quality.
  • In-line volume control and mute switch let users adjust the headset volume or switch mute on and off easily.
  • Noise-canceling microphone improves game response to voice commands, and provides crisp and clear voice communication.
  • Lightweight, over-the-head design enables comfortable use.
  • The headset plugs directly into either the Xbox360 Controller or Xbox Wireless Controller for easy use.

I think Microsoft should also have a mic and speakers for the xbox360 that work like a speaker phone... It would be a lot easer than having a headset clamped to your head. I'd forget it was there, get up and walk off with xbox360 in tow.... Haven't seen any pics of it yet, but I hope its nice..
