 comfortable and clearOct 31, 2004
By se7en
Plantronics has always been the leader in headset communications, and bringing their technology to the X-Box is a step in the right direction. The new GameCom H2 Xbox Headset by Plantronics is a great step up from the original X-Box Live headset. First of all, it's more comfortable for the long hours spent playing your favorite X-Box Live games. Second, it eliminates outside noise which was a problem with the original Live headset.
One thing you need to know about this headset is that it doesn't come with an adapter. The original adapter that came with X-Box Live works with this headset, so if you've used the older headset, you're ready to play.
Overall, it's more comfortable and the sound is more clear, but you'll need the adapter to plug in and play.
I hope this review helped the uncertain buyers out there!

Perfectly balanced and perfect noise auditory levels!Jun 02, 2005
By Captain Yeager
Having been working for the U.S. Air Force for some odd time, the noise in a cramped jet cockpit with a 30,000 lb-thrust jet engine just 20 feet behind you, the noise is just too unbearable and they give us laboratory designed and tested earpices that REALLY help, and might I add these things are perfectly balanced and have the perfect noise-cancelling levels like the ones we get. So if someone in your living room was talking to you, everyone in the Xbox wouldn't hear, but it only takes a soft voice for them to listen and instead of the garbled and echoy noise you get on the standard headset, this comes out crisp and clean. Also it comes with 4 interchangable earpieces (Large and small of rubber and large and small of foam composition.) Now if it had big enough jacks, I'd bring this in the plane with me. Believe me, this thing is worth it's money and then some.

Best Headset To DateJun 17, 2005
By Blake Klynsma
This headset is probably the best xbox live recommended headset to date. Everything on the earpiece is adjustable to fit every size of ear. The big xbox live headsets are uncomfortable and begin to hurt after about a half hours use. Wearing the Halo 2 headset i actually forgot that I was even wearing it because it is so light. They have just released a new version of this headset that also comes the communicator with no difference in price. I greatly recommend this headset to anyone that plays xbox live on a regular basis.

very niceNov 05, 2004
By crowdcontrol792
Great headset that is very comfortable over long periods of time. Very good sound quality, and, from what I've gathered, sounds great on the other end of Xbox headsets too. It eliminates outside sounds which is great. The only negative I have is that the first couple of times you use it, you wonder how to put the danged thing on. I eventually learned that looking at the directions can help! Awsome headset that is well worth the 50 dollars.

 Good headset? Yes. Worth $50? No.Jan 06, 2005
By mike
Well I bought this headset but the pricetag wasn't on it. I didn't bother scanning it because I only thought it would be about $20-$30. I went to the register and it came up as $49.99. What the f is that? How does a headset cost as much as a game? And get this...you have to spend another $30 or so just to get the communicator. Of course I couldn't find a stand alone communicator so I had to buy the Microsoft Headset that comes with the communicator just to make the Halo 2 headset work. What a freakin scam. All together you will spend at least $70-$80 just to get the thing to work. There is some good though. The ear piece fits nicely and secure. It fits right on top of my ear nice and easy. Although after long periods of play my ear will feel like it is stuffed up like being on a plane. That may be because it is too deep in my canal. The sound is great. Everything is real clear. I haven't used my Microsoft headset yet so I can't compare the two, but the Halo headset is good quality. I don't recommend this product over Microsoft's but I also don't dis-recommend it. The choice is yours though if you want to spend close to $100 on everything you need to get this to work.
