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:

Plantronics MX150 Boom-Mic Headset 2.5mm Jack Plug New
Plantronics MX150 Boom-Mic Headset 2.5mm Jack Plug New
Paypal   US $2.95
Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug
Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug
Paypal   US $.99
Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug  NEW
Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug NEW
Paypal   US $3.99

The only problem with these units is there is no mute button. So I use the Datel Headset Adapter:

No items matching your keywords were found.


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.
