Xbox 360 Accessories from China

Hi Guys,

Something I bought a long time ago and have several left over I found in my garage are Xbox 360 headsets, the old style ones, which have the volume control and microphone activation at the end where the jack is and enters the controller. These were incredibly cheap to buy from Chinese suppliers and are great in case of a sudden microphone packing in, which happens a lot more than you might think. I am currently on my first Turtle Beach headset which is wired and it has lasted for 9 months with no problems but up until I got my Turtle Beach for my birthday, I had been using a single Chinese Xbox 360 headset for 5 months solid and it worked perfectly, even to this day, it is still going.

Some people may be put off the headsets because they are unbranded and don't have a name on the side of them. This means nothing really in the long run as lots of stuff, even luxury items, are made in the same factory as the cheaper items, all with just a different name or badge put onto the product, which in turn increases its value.

These headsets are very good and reliable for a cheap replacement if one of your main headsets pack it in. The speaker on them is not incredibly loud but is sufficient enough to hear and make people out without any problems at all. They seem a bit more solid the older designed headsets as some headsets, the newer ones, have a 90 degress angled jack that goes into the controller with a flimsy wire that goees to the headset. These are the ones that I have found break the easiest, especially if you take the wire in and out after each gaming session. As its quite flimsy, you can end up splitting or breaking the wires inside if you keep taking it in and out a lot. The headsets however with the more solid base at the end of the wire have lasted for up to 2 and a half years (the old Microsoft Ones).

The newer model headsets I have went through about 4 of them and got so annoyed with them I preferred to use the Chinese made one and then eventually the beast of all headsets the Turtle Beach which is still going strong. All I am saying is don't be afraid by unbranded Xbox or PS3, Wii etc as they are very good value for money and most of them are very reliable.

Buy one as a tester for around £2 delivered some work out as and see for yourself.

One other great accessory for the Xbox 360 from China is the various rechargeable bettery packs that you get which include a charging lead. They don't last as long per charge as some of the official Microsoft Battery packs, however they do last a few days before needing recharging and all depends on how you are using and what games you are playing etc.

Some batteries feel a bit plasticy and very light which can also be a good thing, yes they are cheap but they will do the job they have been made for safely, as I have not heard of any comiplaints or bad feedback about them. If your strapped for cash don't rob a bank to pay for your Xbox addiction, buy something cheaper from China and save yourself a lot of bucks :)

Check out some of the great deals on Amazon you can get on new and second hand turtle beach headsets which are definitely worth the money. The sound on them is outstanding and can give you the dge in multiplayer games as you know exactly by the sound which direction the next bad guy is coming from:
