Xbox 360 headset (over-the-head style)

Product Description

Fire up your xbox gaming experience with the quality audio and edgy design of the Plantronics GameCom X10 for xbox 360 and xbox. Sticks and stones. That's what your father always said about dealing with playground bullies. But Pops didn't realize that names can hurt, can disgrace, can deliver humiliating, gut-twisting, crushing defeat even to the most hardened of foes. Pops couldn't have imagined your friends' rowdy squeals of delight as they watch you slow-roast the enemy over unmerciful open flames. But the old man would have been proud.

Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 Wireless Headset

Product Description

This comfortable, high-quality stereo headset gives you the simplicity of USB installation and high-quality digital sound that cannot be matched by analog. Hold clear, private Internet voice calls, enjoy music and movies, and become fully immersed in your games. System Requirements - Operating System - Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) / Hard Drive - 60 MB free / USB 1.1 port or higher (USB 2.0 recommended) / Intel Pentium III 550 MHz (Intel Pentium 4 1.4 GHz recommended) or higher. /CD-ROM drive / Broadband Internet access required; access fees may apply

I've seen many people run into the issue of the headset not syncing to the receiver, which really eliminates the plug and play aspect of this device. Due to the poor documentation that comes with device I thought I would share what I discovered to fix this common issue:

Once everything is installed to the point where the XBox360 receiver is showing in the Device Manager (not under the sound, video, and game controllers section) I did the following,

*Pressed the sync button on the USB receiver to where the green light started blinking.
*Pressed and held down the power button to turn on and force my headset to sync.

Once I did this the headset was detected, the four flashing lights turned solid, and an extra audio device showed up under the sound, video and game controllers section of the Device Manager.

I was then able to follow the following instructions, starting from Step 2, to setup my OS to use the headset: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935748


I hope this helps out others experiencing this issue and if you are thinking about purchaing this headset, it would do it from some place where you can return it. You may not find the sound quality to be any good.


As some other reviewers have mentioned, it worked fine for the first couple of times but not so well afterwards. It's range is not even close to 30 feet that's claimed by the manufacturer.
I am using it every now and then and always with some statics in the background. it's not worth the price.


I expected this to be working with my xbox 360...

b/c it looks the same with the 360 wireless headset.
The problem(for 360ers) is that it doesn't have sync button to use with controller.

wondered why this, even with the receiver, could be cheaper than the wireless headset for 360...

the bundled receiver works for wireless 360 controllers on computer though.

just wanted to warn you guys not to make the same mistake that I made.
I'm struggling installing the driver on my computer.

Amazon should make this product not show up at xbox 360 section.


What can I say, poor mic volume, noise in sound, does not fit my ear well. Pure waste of money and time.



EXTREMELY FRUSTRATINGLY DISAPPOINTED- ESPECIALLY W/ THE MICROSOFT NAME ATTACHED. WOULD EXPECT IT TO PLUG AND PLAY- NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WORKING THAT WAY. MAYBE PLUG & EASY CD INSTALL- NOPE NO HELP FROM CD INSTALL. INSTRUCTION BOOK- AGAIN NO HELP EXCEPT FOR THE TREES SAVED FROM LACK OF MATERIAL.

i GIVE UP TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK ON 2 SEPERATE COMPUTERS AND O/S VISTA & XP. I HOPE OFFICE DEPOT TAKES BACK THIS $70 AND ALOT OF WASTED TIME HEADSET. DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY- DO NOT BUY


Its a good investment, not like other reviews. The clarity goes on increasing on using. But not suitable for listening to music. For VOIP chatting, its good..


I BOUGHT THIS SO I CAN TALK TO MY FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPLORERS ON MSN. WHEN I TRIED IT OUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I ASLO HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO CONNECT AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE MIC ISN'T SO COMFY LIKE AS DISCRIBED. IT GET UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER A FEW HRS. IF I HAD TO BUY THIS AGAIN I WOULDN'T. THIS JUST ISNT A GREAT PRODUCT.


I purchased the Life Chat zx-6000 to use on my laptop with Skype. hrrm first challenge and not yet resolved is getting Skype to recognise it as a microphone/headset so I cannot use this piece of widgetry. Well I could if I wanted to use it with Messenger but I dont. Microsoft help won't help because I want to use it with Skype so I sit here and wave goodbye to A$90. Not happy. Has anyone succeeded in making this work? if so how did you do it? :(


I think this product would be great if I could get it to work. Unfortunately, it didn't First of all, the microphone is terrible. I tried to use sound recorder program to see if I could get good qualify sound but it was very low and there was background noise.
I don't recommend this product to anyone. I wasted my time and money.



This was tough to get to work the first time. There are no instructions and it disconnects frequently. This was frustrating.

Still not sure what all the little lights are. They say it is for battery life and signal strength but I am not sure which is which and how I am supposed to see it when it is pressed against my cheek.

THis is a great product idea but not ready for regular use. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Ear Force X1 Stereo Headset with Chat

Product Description

Ear Force X1 amplified headphones give serious gamers the ultimate competitive edge by combining Xbox Live chat and stereo game audio into an immersive sound experience.X1's integrated design overcomes the limitation of communicator headsets that block game sound from one Ear and eliminates voice chat interference caused by the headset microphone picking up sound from external speakers.Pump up the volume without disturbing friends, family or neighbors. HEar every nuance of the game - from an opponent sneaking up behind you to your teammate's voice right next to you.Trash talk online. Block out distractions. It's everything you need for an amazing gaming experience.

Great product! These headphones are great, very light, great sound and they don't hurt the ears after a long period of playing games, no sweat around the ears also. Great buy! They also work with the Ps3 as well, you just can't use the microphone.


I really like this headset, it makes the sounds so real, you can hear footsteps coming up behind you.


I bought this instead of the more expensive models as I didn't want to spend more than $50 on a headset. But you get what you pay for. It's very good quality for durability and sound. You can hear EVERYTHING on the map when you play games like Call of Duty or Left 4 Dead. There are a lot of wires but it's not enough to get in your way if you set it up right. My ONLY gripe with the headset is the bass can sometimes overwhelm the other sounds of the game so you have to tinker around with the volume of the game and the volume of the in game chatter. Everything else is good though. The set up is quick and painless unless you don't have a basic concept of english instructions... then you might have a tough time... but if that's the case then perhaps you should stick to a simpler game like hangman or tic tac toe.


This product is great! They are great for night time gaming when you don't want to disturb anyone else. The sound quality is amazing. They are extremely comfortable. The sound quality is so good that I am able to locate other players in Xbox Live games. I recommend this product to everyone!


I plugged these bad boys in and started playing a game with my user playlist in the background. These are a hell of a pair of headphones. The sound was crisp, the bass was lovely and I was immediately satisfied with my purchase. After that trial, I decided to play a game of Gears 2 Horde mode. I heard every blast, snarl, step, etc. from every angle, it felt like I was actually there. Amazing. On one of the levels I could even hear the frogs as if they were right next to me. I was going to get the X4's at first, but I'm happy I downgraded at the last minute and saved myself the $80. There are people complaining about a hiss noise, but like any pair of sneakers, that problem is easily solved by turning the volume down to a reasonable level. The only problem I see is that there are tons of cords, It's not a problem for me b/c of how I have my set up, but I can see how it would be a problem for others.

I recommend these headphones 100%

For gaming. For music listening. For life.



When this worked, it was a fine product. Unfortunately within the first year, my mic was giving me issues. I was always the guy on Live whose mic was giving everyone else static. Then just when the product was a year old the mic went out completely. Their customer service was helpful and sells a replacement part they say would probably fix the problem. The part is $5, but another $7 for shipping (for a tiny part that weighs a couple of ounces if that), and no guarantee that it will fix the problem. I might just go ahead and shop around for another headset with a better warranty, but they don't have much competition.


The product works and it really adds alot to your gaming experience.
There is a bit too much bass, but besides that it is an incredible replacement for the headset that comes with the xbox 360.


The headset is great but the people are TERRIBLE in their shipping time. It's the worst service I've ever had online. I ordered next day shipping and got it 2 weeks later and didn't get my shipping refunded. Seriously, buy from someone else who'll ship it on time and not when they feel and with the shipping speed they feel is right.


I bought these to use with my xbox 360 and loved them at first. Then I noticed that one side was cracking (thinner plastic part on side) and when I put them on, the part that was screwed together (see the pictue to see the screws) pulled apart and I couldn't wear them. I checked the other side and it was cracking in the same exact spot. I went to their website and checked out their warranty and was surprised that the "warranty" doesn't seem to cover anything at all. They lasted about 2 months. What a disappointment.


I was looking for a headset for night time gaming on Xbox live, and this seems to be the recommended model. The wire clutter was expected, but mind you, it has three cables (mic, sound, and USB for power) that are each 10 feet or so, so it could get a little crazy.

When plugged in there was a constant hissing sound even when I turn the volume down. As another reader suggested it could have been the controller design, or simply the poor materials chosen to build the electronics for this thing.

My biggest upset was with the chat feature for xbox live. Since the headset sports a great bass output, EVERYONE's voice turned into this deep mumble that did not resemble speech, even after I toyed with all the different possible settings (volume, headset vs. speaker output, etc...). I just could not understand a word that people were saying through Live. Needless to say I returned it.

In a brief summary, great sound through the headphones (although a little hissing), but the terrible way the chat voice is brought out makes this a no no for multiplayer gaming, which is why I bought it in the first place. I highly recommend trying it or buying it somewhere where returns are simple.
