A battle is no time for a communications malfunction, as losing contact with the rest of the squad can mean complete annihilation. Fortunately, Halo 2 gamers who play on Xbox Live can focus exclusively on strategy and forget about their equipment thanks to the GameCom Halo 2 Edition Xbox headset. Plantronics, the world leader in lightweight communications headsets, engineered the GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset specifically for Xbox gamers gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to Halo, the bestselling game from Bungie Studios. With the headset's superior voice features, online gamers can take full advantage of Halo 2's stunning new multiplayer challenges and also gain a competitive edge in demolishing the opposition. Online multiplayer Halo 2 battles take on new intensity with technological and feature set advances, and the headset also lets clans more effectively strategize and trash talk. An optimized speaker, noise-canceling microphone, and contoured one-ear fit maximize the audio for gamers' complete immersion while also letting them stay aware of what's happening in their other reality--the living room. The GameCom Halo 2 Edition headset delivers a weightless, custom fit for hours of comfortable play so gamers can focus on performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars comfortable and clear, October 31, 2004

This review is from: Xbox Plantronics Gamecon Halo 2 Headset Communicator (Electronics)

Plantronics has always been the leader in headset communications, and bringing their technology to the X-Box is a step in the right direction. The new GameCom H2 Xbox Headset by Plantronics is a great step up from the original X-Box Live headset. First of all, it's more comfortable for the long hours spent playing your favorite X-Box Live games. Second, it eliminates outside noise which was a problem with the original Live headset.

One thing you need to know about this headset is that it doesn't come with an adapter. The original adapter that came with X-Box Live works with this headset, so if you've used the older headset, you're ready to play.

Overall, it's more comfortable and the sound is more clear, but you'll need the adapter to plug in and play.

I hope this review helped the uncertain buyers out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly balanced and perfect noise auditory levels!, June 2, 2005

Having been working for the U.S. Air Force for some odd time, the noise in a cramped jet cockpit with a 30,000 lb-thrust jet engine just 20 feet behind you, the noise is just too unbearable and they give us laboratory designed and tested earpices that REALLY help, and might I add these things are perfectly balanced and have the perfect noise-cancelling levels like the ones we get. So if someone in your living room was talking to you, everyone in the Xbox wouldn't hear, but it only takes a soft voice for them to listen and instead of the garbled and echoy noise you get on the standard headset, this comes out crisp and clean. Also it comes with 4 interchangable earpieces (Large and small of rubber and large and small of foam composition.) Now if it had big enough jacks, I'd bring this in the plane with me. Believe me, this thing is worth it's money and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Headset To Date, June 16, 2005

This headset is probably the best xbox live recommended headset to date. Everything on the earpiece is adjustable to fit every size of ear. The big xbox live headsets are uncomfortable and begin to hurt after about a half hours use. Wearing the Halo 2 headset i actually forgot that I was even wearing it because it is so light. They have just released a new version of this headset that also comes the communicator with no difference in price. I greatly recommend this headset to anyone that plays xbox live on a regular basis.
