Datel delivers with $10 headset adapter

by Christopher Grant on Apr 19th 2006 3:00PM

After month's of whining, there's finally a product that does the simplest of things: lets you use your regular headsets with the Xbox 360 and maintain mute and volume control.

Datel has introduced yet another product to their growing stable of Xbox 360 peripherals (Bluetooth headset, 4GB HDD, Serial ATA HDD adapter, Memory Unit transfer kit), the humbly titled "Headset Adapter," which humbly performs that one simple task for the humble price of $10. Nice!

Perfect. I'll take two.

About time! I'll take one. I play alone :( Damn no-gamer wife.

Shwing! Finally, and thank God its not $20 like we all thought it would be.

This item actually has some worth, but it took so long to come around that I wonder if MS already has a better headset in the pipeline that would make this purchase obsolete...

It comes with a splitter which allows two headsets to be plugged into the one controller. Does this mean the trash talking and high pitched voices (little kids) are going to skyrocket?

Excellent, now i can must my voice while playing on live (and turn the volume down if im playing with idiots)

This is exactly why I didn't spend the time making one; someone else would do it.

Wow I'm lazy...all it takes is an 1/8" stereo jack and soldering a few wires. Oh well. I converted a broken Xbox communicator headset to an over-the-top style last week.

Does anyone know if there is enough room to just put the electronic board from the headset adapter inside of the controller? Seriously...

The adapter is $7.99 from codejunkies

I was just talking with some friends last night wishing they would go ahead and release something like this, I even said "$10 would be the perfect price point to sell these things like crazy" guess I wasn't the only one thinking that. You gotta love datel's support for the 360.

Just to let you guys know, I ordered one from Codejunkies and this is what I got "Your order has been authorised. Unfortunately, we are awaiting
stock for this product." Lovely. It said it was in stock...guess they only had one and somebody beat me too it. /eyeroll

Any other retailers selling this? codejunkies will only ship to billing address...since delivery dudes around my area like to leave packages outside the door for everyone to steal I'm not about to do that, ever.

#10

same thing happened to me, also said it would be shipped within 28 days. that is bs!
