Xbox Live is what gaming is all about, taking the game online, joining a clan, kicking ass and talking smack to everyone and their mothers. The XBL headset is a fragile device though, if you'd don't show it the love, it soon breaks... Plantronics have come to the rescue of all you mute XBLers out there with the release of a 2 new XBL compatable headsets...

The GameCom X20 incorporates Plantronics' Flex Grip design and has a discreet, bendable noise-canceling boom microphone, while its new GameCom X10 delivers the same with an alternate over-the-head style. Both are compatible with (but sold separatly from) the Xbox Communicator adapter, and both are black and green.
If you talk over IM, then you'll also be pleased to know Plantronics' two new PC headsets are the GameCom Pro 1 and GameCom 1. Both have similar features as the new Xbox headsets. The GameCom Pro 1 plugs into a USB port, while the GameCom 1 (not "Pro") is an analog model that plugs into a PC soundcard.

The headsets for Xbox Live, the GameCom X10 and X20, will have estimated street prices of $19.99 and $29.99, respectively. On the PC side, the GameCom 1 will retail for $29.99, while the GameCom Pro 1 will sell for $79.99.
