Continuing with the Halo theme for whatever reason that is, here's another Halo promo item. Having my 2nd wired headset break at the wire connection to the controller I had to look for another headset. I stayed away from wireless due to tales of their unreliability, but I'm fed up with wired controllers breaking. I found only two options the regular white Xbox 360 wireless headset and a Halo: Reach edition of it. They were the same price and I figured the Halo one being newer it should be better. Also it looked nicer.
Well I have no way to compare it to the normal one but this headset is pretty good. It blew my low expectations for a wireless mic out of the water. The sound quality is great and it still has the volume controls and mute ability as a wired headset would. I was surprised with the wireless range, I walked around the house while still talking to my LIVE Party with no problems at all. It came with two different sized earloops which is actually pretty comfortable. The Halo: Reach headset is donning a textured silver surface like it's matching controller (don't worry I don't have one, you won't hear about it). On the back side is a barcode printed with "Property of UNSC" above it. Along the mic is "7//65|59_234|97///" it's some sort of serial number that is also printed on the UNSC Crate and ONI Black box from the Legendary Edition. Not too sure what it means. It is also sporting the ONI logo with REACH labeled under it.
That's it for Halo, I promise you won't hear about it anymore... for a while at least. Now I have to go umm... do stuff that doesn't involve a certain game.
how much do one of these things cost?
ReplyDeleteI should have mentioned that. They run between $40-$50 depending where you look. It's the same price as the normal white wireless headsets.
