im currently looking around for an alternative 360 headset since ive heard nothing but bad reviews on the official headset (short durability).

anyone here using cellphone headsets as their 360 headset? if yes do you mind sharing what type are you using and how's it working for you?

Its gonna b difficult as Microsoft would probably only let u use their accessories such as the Wireless Networking Adapter. A normal Wireless Adapter would cost about 70bucks but the 360 one is about 259++ XD

Actually supposedlly you CAN use the old nokia style headsets on the 360..

But really Zero.. you've heard nothing but bad reviews about the headset... how do you personally feel about it? To me the thing is not that bad, the wire's a bit thin so I need to take better care of it but I wouldn't say it's enough to get you worried about it

That said.. wireless headset... gooooood

Both of you are wrong. Unlike the Wireless Adapter, Xbox 360 can use almost any cell phone headset as long it has 2.5 mm jack.

actually kiddies you can use a bluetooth headset with your 360... just get the adapter from third party manufacturer like datel...i've been using one for a couple months no problem... except its a little softer than the bundled headset... its amazing what you can find on the net...

edit: for the people who do not have much time to search, here's a link...

I dont know about you guys, but I think that the wired headset that came with my 360 is just fine.. i have little confidence with certain wireless products, one being headsets. Dont ask me why la. I dunno thumbup.gif
