Plantronics Gamecom X95

 (15 customer reviews)

After having several of the cheap, flimsy official XBox 360 headsets break over the years, I finally decided to upgrade to a sturdier one. After doing a LOT of research, I decided to try out the new Gamecom X95 from Plantronics. While Turtle Beach offers excellent headsets, I found the prices a little too beyond my range, especially for the wireless ones (Turtle Beach X31, X41). I know Plantronics is new to this market, but from using their telephone headsets frequently at work, I knew they boasted very high quality. While an official, wired Xbox 360 headset will run you around $20, I managed to get these for $33 through Amazon's Warehouse Deals (with free shipping). If they were not to my satisfaction, I would have just returned them for a refund. To my delight, they have proven to be an outstanding headset. The sound quality is exceptional; I was surprised to see that it wasn't Dolby Surround Sound after listening to them. It's so good that you'd swear they were. There's a lot of...Read more

I picked this headset up at Frys for $65 about a month ago because of the price and the fact it was wireless. I surfed the reviews from my phone and people had good things to say. The set up was easy, fits nice, and does not hurt the ears, and the weight is not to bad so prolonged wearing does not get to out of control. These are what works well for the headset.

The reason is because the headset does not stay connected. i have the receiver right in front of the TV (in line of sight of my headset) and I am sitting about 5 feet from the receiver on my couch. If I stay in the center of the couch and sit on the edge it works for a while, but if I sit back (I have a deep couch)...Read more

Well I've been looking around for a great headset. One thats gonna be strong and have great sound quality. I've used other headsets in the past and liked them however they broke rather easy and at 80 dollars plus they shouldn't. This headset is great very durable and the sound quality rivals the popular brands in the same market. Ive used a pair of Triton's and Turtle Beach's and the sound quality out of these is the same or better. Please remebr they are not dolby digital 5.1 or better they are sterio But you will be impressed and pleased with this set.
