Best Cheap Microsoft Headset Replacement
I've been using cell phone headsets pretty much since the 360 came out. I'm not real fond of getting my dork on with the Microsoft headset, so I found that your typical cell phone unit works. I have found great success with a Plantronics unit that you can have shipped to you for 5 or 6 bucks or less, from ebay. Here are a couple of them:
 OEM Plantronics MX150 2.5 mm 2.5mm Handsfree Headset  US $3.98
|
 NEW PLANTRONICS MX150 2.5 mm UNIVERSAL HEADSET FLEXIBLE US $3.99
|
 NEW OEM PLANTRONICS MX-150 MX150 BOOM HEADSET 2.5 mm US $5.55
|
The only problem with these units is there is no mute button. So I use the Datel Headset Adapter:
 |
Datel Live HEADSET ADAPTER for XBOX to XBOX 360 + BONUS | |
 |
US $11.99 | 16d 12h 45m |
 |
Datel Live HEADSET ADAPTER for XBOX to XBOX 360 + BONUS | |
|
US $12.99 | 17h 54m |
This adapter plugs right into the controller, and is made just like the plug on the original Microsoft headset, with a slider mute toggle button on top. You plug the mic above right into this adapter.
This makes my mic/headset setup much more comfortable and durable and it is easier to replace.
