That's not the plantronics one, that's the one that comes free with every xbox live starter kit.

MY BAD. I read the thing at Plantronics and I took it as they were making the ones for Microsoft back in 2002. I assumed the ones I listed were the ones put together between micro and plant and then Plantronics had brought out thier own as well. I did some reading on it before I bought it while I was looking for a cheap headset and then after I made this thread.

Plantronics artical from 2002 saying they made it.

Now unless I read it wrong then I am sorry but it looks to me that they were in it together in 2002 making the ones I linked above that does come with the starter kit. Even the new ones made for the 360 starter kit are a plant/micro creation.

Xbox Circle Overview
The new Live headset is once again made by Plantronics, who do phenomenal work. After much backlash about the breakability of the original Xbox Live headset, the new model opts for an over the head model, with the same basic features of the original headset. One element that is missing from this setup is the Communicator module, which is now unnecessary for Live play as that device is integrated into every 360 controller.

Linkage for above quote saying the originals are made by Plantronic. Just nowhere as fancy as the Plantronic stamped ones :D

All the Live headsets from Microsoft are made by Plantronics. But that doesn't mean they're all the same model as the Plantronics branded retail ones.

Wasnt planning on this being a disscusion on if they were made by or not made by plantronics :eek:

I never said it was the same just mentioned it was the MS/Plant ones in the title so you would know it wasnt a POS one your getting for $11.

Xbox live uses standard cell phone mic jacks anyway, so you could plug just about any cell phone headset in.
