Anyone know if you can get a black headset? Im sure I saw a picture of one but now Im having an arguement with a mate as he cant find one, subsequently neither can I lol. Was I imagining it or has anyone seen one in black?

Someone prove me right, please!

Managed to find this, even though its not strictly for the 360 do you see any reason why it wouldnt work?

It depends what type of wireless reciever it uses. It look almost identical to a 360 headset but if you click the "details" tab it needs XP or Vista - says nothing about the 360. I would be interested to hear if anyone knows.

Also does anyone know about the revisions of the current wireless headsets? One of my mates bought one on the day of release and the quality is really quite bad but I heard they brought a slightly newer version out. Also does anyone find that it wont stay on their ear? I don't use mine as it simply isnt comfortable!

From what I have read (and details on this headset are scant, at best) this is not a 360 product.

However, the wireless receiver that comes with this does let you use other 360 wireless controllers on XP/Vista.

So the receiver unit you get is the same one as you can buy to use wireless 360 peripherals on the PC, but that does not automatically mean this will pair with the 360, natively.

Wouldn't recommend a wireless headset to anyone. Had no end of problems with mine, they're very tempremental.

Wouldn't recommend one if your ears are bigger than ooo a penny....

Pinches like crazy on mine

I own the black one for my pc.

Firstly, it doesn't work with my 360, or anyone elses apparently.

Secondly, the sound quality is really very bad. After hearing myself using it i'd say about twice as bad as a normal wired 360 headset through a wireless controller.

Zero problems with mine. As clear as the wired one, fits nice and snug.

Only gripe I have is the charger uses ANOTHER plug socket and would much sooner have the USB one.
