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:
 EARBUD PLANTRONICS MX150 CELL PHONE HEADSET NEXTEL LG  US $4.49
|
 EARBUD PLANTRONICS MX150 CELL PHONE HEADSET NEXTEL LG US $1.00
|
 NEW OEM PLANTRONICS MX-153 MX153 HEADSET MX150 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 DUS0166-I Xbox 360 Headset Adapter | |
 |
US $24.88 | 29d 7h 59m |
 |
DATEL DUS0166-I INTEC XBOX360 HEADSET ADAPTER XBOX 360 | |
|
US $19.95 | 5d 19h 22m |
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.
