Video Game Reviews of Plantronics Gamecom X10
Customer Review: BEWARE no gaming sound with these
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess maybe I am just not gamer savvy since I don't play the xbox myself but perhaps there are other parents out there trying to purchase a headset for their kids who are in the same position. I didn't realize that this headset does not receive the sounds of the game play. This information is not provided in the product description nor in any of the many reviews I read before purchasing them. Seems like important information that should be clearly stated so there is no confusion but apparently nobody has bothered to point this out so I am. We have owned several headsets, all much more expensive and when the last set died two days ago, I went to search for a replacement. I saw these, saw the rave reviews and the low price, read the product description and read about 10 reviews and then decided what a great option they are for so much less money. Well, you get what you pay for, essentially they are just a microphone to talk into. They arrived yesterday and my son put them on and complained that there is no sound at all. Finally after spending a lot of time messing with various wires trying to figure out what we could possibly be doing wrong, we decided to call the company and had a tech advisor talk to us for about an hour. In the end, we determined that they are not intended to receive any sounds from the gaming. Yes, the microphone works but you have to turn the sound on through the speakers or whatever set up you have for any other game play so this will not keep your house quiet while someone is playing and the player will not hear the "details" of the game like they would with a different headset. It would have been very helpful to have been given this information in the product description before purchasing them. I guess we are back to spending a lot more for the Turtle Beach headsets. Meantime, I took a chance and plugged this headset into my phone and it works fine, you can hear clearly and be heard so now at least I have a use for it and don't have to bother spending the money to return them since it would cost nearly as much as the product itself to do so.
