5 out of 5 stars Great Accessory   June 1, 2008
If you use a headset other than the orginal 360 headset this will greatly help with mic and volume control. Sturdy product, I have been using for almost a year now without any issues.
Only negative is that you can not use it with the chatpad.



2 out of 5 stars poor reception   February 26, 2008
this converter is not that great. when you plug in your headset to this converter, the quality decreases dramatically. other players have reported that my voice is very low and has an echo to it. this can very annoying when you're trying to talk in paragraphs. other players have complained and asked me to use my regular headset. i would not recommend buying this converter just to save a few bucks. it's not worth it, dont make my mistake.

The Xbox Controller S communicator system was more robust and far superior to the Xbox 360 communicator system. It had a nice, heavy-duty communicator module (with great mute button/light and volume wheel) that was able to accept third-party headsets. Along comes the 360 and puts the communicator module on the end of the headset cable. That means you can't use your favorite Xbox headset with the 360 - instant obsolescence. I guess Microsoft expected that would boost sales of their new 360-only headsets. Well forget that - this adapter solves that problem by giving you the freedom to use any standard Xbox headset of your choosing. Since there are a lot more types on the market, and since most gamers already have an Xbox headset, this device can save you money as well as make your gaming more comfortable.

I bought two; the price is very reasonable compared to a new 360 headset. Some have complained that the fit in the controller slot is a bit loose. That was true for one of the two I bought. One time it backed out of the controller halfway. When I went to flip the mute switch, the audio plug broke off from the pressure required to move the switch. The audio plug is very small and weak (thanks for making the jack so tiny Microsoft), so if the adpater is not inserted fully into the controller, you do risk breaking off the audio plug.

The volume wheel is fine, a little stiff, but oddly the volume doesn't go down 100%. You can still hear the others players speaking even when it's turned all the way down.

Even though one unit broke, I would still buy another because the device is so versatile. I love using my favorite Xbox headset instead of any of the expensive and uncomfortable 360 sets that are on the market.

I expected more from this adapter. Technically it does exactly what is advertised but there are some design flaws with it. It doesn't fit as tight to the controller as the original 360 headset connector. It feels loose when inserted into the controller. The volume wheel is tight just like someone else said. I also think the components might be low quality but I can't prove it. It could use some more engineering but shows good potential.
