Getting Started

Before strapping the headset on and hopping online, take a minute to appreciate its unique features. The design allows you to wear it on either your right or left ear. Once it’s on, you’ve got up to seven hours of gaming until recharge time! You’ll hear a warning sound when the juice runs too low. There is a volume control switch and mute button right on the earpiece (just in case you don’t want your teammates hearing you beg your wife for “just 5 more minutes, honey!”). Now you’re ready to roll – here are a few things you’ll need to get started:

• Xbox® Video Game Console
• Xbox® Live-enabled game
• Xbox® Live subscription (sold separately)

Package Contents:

• Xbox® Cordless Headset
• Xbox® Communicator
• AC power adapter
• Setup Guide
• 2 months Free Xbox® Live trial subscription (US only)

Appearance

As always, Logitech has opted for silver on black, but this time with a lime green “XBOX” logo on the exterior of the earpiece. Don’t worry – no bright orange or glowing cheesy effects here (there are some seriously hideous colors out there!).

Features

• Complete cordless freedom with 2.4 GHz technology: Robust enough to provide clear audio without interference or delays with a range up to 30 feet!
• Adjustable noise-canceling microphone: Block out unwanted background noise for a pristine gaming experience.
• Rechargeable batteries: Up to 6 hours of play time on a single charge - and no wasted batteries.
• Compact and comfortable: It´s rugged, lightweight, and fits snugly on your ear.
• Crystal-clear sound: You´ll never miss a command thanks to the high-quality earpiece.
• Xbox® Live Enabled: Go up against a million gamers in 24 countries on Xbox Live (subscription required).

Pros:

• Discreet design
• Ultra light weight
• Clear communication without crackles

Cons:

• Two hands are needed to adjust mouthpiece during game play
• $79.99 MSRP is too high, do your homework and find a sale

Adding It All Up

If you’re currently playing Xbox Live without communication, do yourself a huge favor and pick this headset up! You’ll kick yourself for not doing it earlier. And while strategizing with teammates is helpful, the real fun lies in the schmack-talking! The Logitech Cordless Headset for Xbox makes it easy and comfortable to breath new life into your Xbox Live experience.
