I play my 360 with headphones on. As such, wearing the headset and the headphones at the same time is ridiculous and awkward.

Are there any alternatives to the 360 headset that are mic only? I can't seem to find any.

 

[Wario64]

Get a cellphone mic clip or something.

I have Sennheiser HD555 headphones, so I'm looking for an individual mic as apposed to a new headset.

I use the Plantronics X30 its made for the 360, its basically the old halo headset that came out for the xbox 1 but redesigned for the 360, its much louder than the standard MS one but not quite as comfortable.

Alright, I guess a Microphone only solution doesn't exist for 360. Beside the fact no one read the original thread properly, this sucks.

Alright, so I guess a Microphone only solution doesn't exist for 360. That sucks.

Use what was suggested above: buy a clip-on microphone for cell phones with a separate ear-bud and receiver that dangles a little lower on the cord, clip that onto your "gaming headphones" so that the receiver lines up with your mouth, and have the voice receiver option set to "speakers only" while letting the ear bud just hang off the side or something. It might be a little awkward, but by buying a pair of gaming headphones, you've accepted all awkward feelings that may result.

I did this back on the Xbox 1 using a donor headset and some duct tape. It worked brilliantly. The duct tape held so tight that I never bothered with the epoxy that I originally planned on using.

The mic plug on the controller is a standardized mic plug; it's not something that only Microsoft certified products work with. There are a lot of options open to you.

Got a brand new Gamecom X30 for $20 shipped from ebay.

It looks like a good headset.

So I can plug a regular PC microphone into the 360 mic port? My bad. I wasn't sure you could do this because the plug on the 360 looked so different.

2.5mm, not 3.5mm.

Alright. So next it looks like I'm looking for a good clip on mic.

360 Headset Alternatives?

Shout really loud.

TRITTON AX360. Boom.

[edit] Nevermind, you are looking for an individual mic.

X30 is an awesome heaset, it's so light. If only they made a wireless one.

Has anyone tried Wii Speak on the 360 yet? Maybe that could work?
