Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone Review

Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First thing's first: On 9/25/2009, an update was released to enable functionality of this microphone with all Rock Band games (thus, previous reviews mentioning that issue are now moot). I can confirm that the mic now does "work" with all Rock Band games.
However, the functionality of this microphone is utterly horrid (with the Rock Band games). In short: there is a very noticeable lag when singing into the microphone. The lag causes you to hear an echo when singing in game and causes your timing and pitch to go out of whack - making it near impossible to play songs on harder skill levels. In order to confirm that there was definitely an un-fixable issue with the wireless microphone, I did a little test and played a specific song on both the stock/corded and wireless microphones (both multiple times). Each time, I got double (sometimes triple) the score with the stock/corded microphone. It appears that the lag introduced by the wireless microphone is throwing off the timing, and it may have an issue with the pitch as well (however, I can't confirm the latter).
Let me stop for a second and state that I have exhausted all avenues of trying to correct this problem. I've tried calibrating the audio/video lag in the Rock Band settings, and I've tried switching audio sources (from TV to receiver). This lag issue is a result of a poor wireless connection between the microphone and the game console - meaning that no in-game setting can fix the issue. It should also be noted that numerous users on the Rock Band forums are complaining about this very same issue with both the wireless microphone and the "Lips" microphones.
Is this something that can be corrected through a future update? doubtful. First of all, the issue is likely hardware related. If there is just a laggy connection between the microphone and the xbox, then no software can fix that. Further, it took about 8 months since introduction for Rock Band to issue this update (on 9/25) so I highly doubt that their development team is going to jump to fix this particular issue. Plus, the microphone still "functions" - it's just a much worse experience than using the corded microphone.
So in conclusion, I absolutely recommend against purchasing this microphone. At $50, you're paying a lot of money to remove the wire from your existing microphone. If the thing doesn't work just as well as your corded mic, it's certainly not worth $50. Also, if you're really into getting high scores through the vocal sections, you will encounter nothing but frustration with the timing issues. Personally, I rarely even sing and I couldn't deal with the lag and the echo, so I know that it'll really irritate the hard core singers.
If you absolutely must go "all wireless" with your Rock Band setup, I'd advise you to wait and see if Rock Band officially announces a fix. If not, make sure you have an easy means to return the mic in the event that the lag affects you.
Happy gaming!

XBOX 360 WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER B/G NETWORKS Review

XBOX 360 WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER B/G NETWORKS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this instead of the $99 Microsoft wireless adapter for XBox Live. Silly me!
Bottom line: this adapter is worthless. It successfully functions about 20% of the time (that's a generous 20%) at start up--and routinely fails to maintain a connection whenever XBox Live is being used.
I'm network and hardware-savvy, with an XBox sitting about 30 feet away from my wireless router--just far enough that I don't' want to run an Ethernet cable. Signal strength is great and everything is set up exactly as instructed (although the instructions provided with the Adapter are amazingly incomplete).
After a month of off-and-on troubleshooting, I've given up. I have contacted the seller and manufacturer for either a refund or meaningful technical support. The manufacturer web site is alarmingly void of information or support.
The $99 XBox label adapter is ridiculously overpriced...but this adapter is not worth the plastic it's built with.

Xbox 360 9.2" TFT Screen Review

Xbox 360 9.2 TFT Screen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's actually a pretty great product. I did find a few things that could have been changed or improved upon. The unit actually clamps on to the XBox 360. It is clamped on good enough you can carry it with the screen like it was a suitcase. The right clamp is a little bit weak of a design. It actually clamps thru the holes on the side of the case of the XBox. Once installed it is secure. I had one little piece of the right clamp break, which I am sure Intec would replace if I would call. It is still rock solid once installed so I will worry about it another day.
Their is hookups on the back for SVGA / S-VIDEO / Composite Video. SVGA being the weakest to Composite Video being the best. Of course the included cable was SVGA. I did plug in my Composite cable that came with the XBox but did not see that much of a difference. Possible Intec sells a Composite Video cable for it, but I doubt it. Maybe even a S-Video, but again. So they sent us the weakest cable, it's not like the monitor is High Definition anyway. The cable for the back was specially made to fit this monitor, it is like 4" long, so you would have to replace it thru Intec if needed. That also means that only they make the cables for it. So they need to step to the plate.
The picture is good. You can play for hours. Even at 9.2" you can see fine. The picture could be sharper, but they give you no adjustment in the menu system for the monitor??? That could be improved. But as for picture, looks really good and you do not have to sit right up on it. 2 Headphones jacks, I won't personally use, but I could. The sound, LOUD!! I mean you can hear this thing. I was surprised. The sound goes to 100, but I usually have it around 15 or 18. It actually puts out really loud, clear sound. I was impressed.
In the back the unit plugs into the Wireless Controller tabs. That had me worried, but they were smart enough to incorporate tabs on the back of the monitor unit so you could still use your Wireless adapter. It mounts directly onto the back of the monitor in almost the same place. Cool!!
Documentation is lacking. I was more concerned with the lack of product promotion. Everyone has seen this screen, but their is never any detail. Nobody wants to spend $175 bones for something they can't tell how it works. Their are no screen shots on the web of the back of the unit, how it attaches, the specifications of the display, power adapter pictures, simulated screen shots, installation guides, or general documentation readily availible for this product. You have to buy this item and open the box to really learn anything about it. You won't even find any good reviews about this product. WTF?? Intec needs to step to the plate and follow thru with this product as it is amazing.
The menu for the monitor needs more regular tunung options. This is a monitor, period, so they need to include standard menu items as such.The power adapter cord could be longer, but it will do.
I bought this monitor to play when I travel. It is not heavy, has a great picture, and looks to be of solid construction. It has lived up to what I had expected.
Intec needs to do their part and follow thru with normal manufacturing practices. They can't just make a good product, they need to promote it as well.

Xbox 360 Rock Band Wireless Fender Precision Bass Replica Review

Xbox 360 Rock Band Wireless Fender Precision Bass Replica
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great controller for all of us wannabe bass players. I held out for the wireless version and it's excellent. It connected quickly with my console and I was up and running in a couple of minutes. The only real drawbacks are that the sides of the keys are not protected so the can be depressed by your hand if you have large hands, and there is no clearly felt ridge on the yellow key to help quickly reorient yourself when playing a fast full range riff in Hard/Expert. The black inlay is very slightly raised but not enough to easily feel, especially if you have calloused fingertips. As a tall adult, I found the strap about 2 inches short of where I would like it to fall and the neck is a bit narrow; but as it was made for all ages and is one size fits all that's not a really major issue. I've seen some reviewers of the wired version say they dislike the use of a knob instead of a whammy bar; I don't really see the need for it with bass anyway, but the knob works fine and there are plenty of opportunities during long notes to use it. Just like playing the split strum bar it takes a little getting used to. All in all, after a solid day of use, I'd say this is an excellent piece of gear. Playing 2-fingered 5-string bass on Guitar Hero and Rock Band is much more fun and a real challenge. Oh, yeah, did I mention that it works for both Rock Band and Guitar Hero? I tried it with Rock Band and GH World Tour and it did fine. For RB2 there's a switch on the back. Bottom line, if you want to really get the Bass experience and don't want to worry about a wire, this is for you.
UPDATE after a few months of use:
I purchased the wireless XBOX 360 Rock Band Fender bass because I really wanted more of a 'bass' feel while playing RB and GH (it works on both). I must say it was better than I expected and I have much more fun and have improved much faster than I would have playing bass with the standard non-split strum bar of the guitars or the McCartney fiddle head bass (too bad they didn't do split strum bar there!). The action is excellent but takes some getting used to. I would give this 5 stars except for the following (which have nothing really to do with game enjoyment, but can be annoying):
1) The unit doesn't like to turn itself on. Even with fresh batteries you have to play with the button to get it on much of the time.
2) It burns through batteries like crazy. I bought rechargables primarily for this controller and I seem to have to change out almost every time I play (about 1 - 2 hours of use).
3) The headset plug in doesn't work - PERIOD. The input plug receiver is a larger size than the standard headset plug and the adapter recommended in the accompanying paperwork (which isn't very helpful) doesn't fit either. I took a headset with a straight pin plug and put an adapter that fit the bass' input and it still didn't work. You have to use a handset controller to have a headset work while playing on XBOX LIVE.
4) The whammy knob is really not a good idea. It's difficult to use as is the "start" knob which takes a good hard twist to get it to work.
So, with all the problems I noted, why did I give this 4 stars? Because it's absolutely the best bass controller available and for simply playing bass in the game it's FANTASTIC!
Oh yeah, get the ABBEY ROAD add on for "The BEATLES" - some great tunes and excellent bass parts.

This product was horrible. I ordered it and my nephew was so happy to finally open it. The color was perfect and loved looking at it. We started unscrewing all the screws and we finally put everything in place, once we were going to screw the case on, the screw holes were too small and were stripped. I have a lot of experience with detaching and reattaching the controller shells on 360 Controllers. Anyway, I put his original black Microsoft shell back on and it went on like a charm. I sent an email stating that I want my money back, and no answer, I am very disappointed and so is my nephew.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows Review

Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows device for about a week, and the only thing I am unhappy about is that I waited so long to buy this controller.
Combined with Xpadder, a free program that lets you emulate key presses and mouse movements directly from the controller (google the program), the 360 controller has become a great way to websurf, play games (e.g. Gears of War, Resident Evil 4), and even control media applications such as Cyberlink PowerDVD. If you don't want to bother programming the Xpadder software yourself, you can download predefined profiles for each of your programs and modify them as you see fit. The range of the controller is sufficient for me, but I have a pretty small apartment :-) I do not know how long the batteries will last and I am considering getting some kind of rechargeable setup. I've run this controller on both Windows XP and Windows Vista without any bugs or other problems.
Overall, I rate this product a 4.5/5.0 stars. The only modification I would make to the controller is to disable it's 'auto-off' feature that shuts down the controller automatically after around 10 - 15 minutes of disuse. When you are reading a web page for a long period of time or watching a movie, having to hit the 'on' button on the center of the pad before you can use the controller again is a minor annoyance. However, for most people who will use this controller primarily for gaming, this is not a problem at all and is instead a battery preserving feature, thus the deduction of only 0.5 stars.
I highly recommend this product.

Xbox 360 Arcade Play Wireless Controller Gaming Pack Review

Xbox 360 Arcade Play Wireless Controller Gaming Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't often post reviews online, but I was so disappointed by this product that I was moved to make an exception. Three of the four games (Lumines, Geometry Wars 2, and Bomberman) are included on a disc. The box includes a code that allows you to download Ms. Pac-Man from Live. For people who have hard drives and Xbox Live (which really should be everyone), this latter solution is the only one that makes any sense at all. You dial in the code, download the game, and it's as simple as any other XBLA game from there on out. The other three games all must be played off the disc - it does not permit you to play them like you would regular XBLA games. However the software code is largely unchanged, so that the games themselves don't recognize they are being played off a disc. Bomberman simply doesn't work - it tries to force you to download an update of the game, but because you never downloaded it in the first place, the "update" would cost the full $10, and it won't allow you to play without the update. Lumines and Geometry Wars 2 are at least playable, but I don't know if Lumines DLC is compatible. That's iffy at best and I wasn't willing to risk it. I will be calling Xbox support, which isn't something you should have to do minutes after opening the box.
In sum: it is more of a hassle than necessary, poorly thought out, and one of the four games simply doesn't work. I am extremely disappointed and cannot recommend this product.

I purchased this headset to match my Xbox 360 250GB Halo Reach Console Bundle. The headset looks great, comes with a USB power charger, additional earpiece, and instruction manual. It looks and feels rugged too which I like. It is definitely not flimsy by any means.
Voice clarity is great, good range on it...I go outside of my house to smoke a cigarette in between games and I can still talk to my friends on it and hear them just fine. Charges quick and last about 8 hours of gaming before another quick charge is needed.
Overall I am very satisfied with this mic, the HALO look of it is just a bonus. 5-stars from me.

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Review

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you've got an XBox 360, you really need to get your hand on one or two wireless controllers. These controllers are GREAT for keeping your gaming area free of clutter. To start with, the controller is much smaller than the standard XBox controller was.
For control items, you start with the standard blue X, yellow Y, red B and green A buttons. There are two thumbsticks, one on the upper left and one in the center right. There is also a directional (d-pad) in the lower left. Next, you have a pair of shoulder buttons at the "top" of the unit, up above the other buttons. You also have a pair of triggers below those shoulder buttons.
Finally, you have a center X button that can be used to turn the console on and off, plus a "start" and "back" tiny white buttons on either side of it.
The unit has a rechargeable battery unit inside it, the size of two AA batteries. You have to buy a recharger set SEPARATELY that lets you charge up while you play. In essence you plug the charger into the back of the controller - and the other end into the USB port in the front of the XBox 360 unit. So you play with the controller "wired" as it charges up. When it's fully charged again, you just pop off the wire and keep playing.
The range of the wireless unit is 30', which is probably much further than anybody is really going to even try playing a game at. The wireless is much easier on your hand - no cable holding you down - plus it's a great help in keeping your gaming area organized. You can easily pass the controller from person to person, and visitors can come and go without tripping over wires.
The documentation says you can get 40 hours of gameplay between charges, but if you have features such as vibration on, that sucks the time down to maybe 8-10 hours. It's up to you of course - I personally like having vibration on because it is often important for gameplay to get those warning signals.
Still, even if I have to plug the cables in every 10 hours or so to give it a juice boost, I still love wireless!! Highly recommended.

Ear Force XLC Stereo Headset with Mic Review

Ear Force XLC Stereo Headset with Mic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had the Turtle Beach XLC headset for a month now and have a very firm grasp on what it's all about. First and foremost, I have seen a number of people complaining that the chat is poor. This is because these people did not realize that the game sounds (effects, character voices, music, etc) must be turned down in the game settings menu--and then the chat is controlled by the TV volume. You need chat to be louder than game sounds, right? Well this is how you separate it!
Once properly adjusted, you can easily see why the XLC is an excellent headset and well worth the $29 price tag. In fact, the audio quality is outstanding for such a low price tag! Mic chat is clear as a bell--both incoming (when set up properly) and outgoing as well. Plus, the noise cancelling earpads are a very welcome feature to have since it allows you to completely focus on the game. For competitive FPS gamers like me, this is extremely useful.
Two things to keep in mind with the XLC:
1) Be sure to properly configure the game/chat balance as described above.
2) You must have a headphone jack on your TV (or home sound system receiver) to provide adequate power to the headset speakers. If you don't have a headphone jack anywhere to power the speakers, then I would strongly recommend the X1 or X11 instead.

Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii Official Rock Band 2 Electro-Harmonix Overdrive Pedal Review

Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii Official Rock Band 2 Electro-Harmonix Overdrive Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Electro-Harmonix Overdrive pedal plugs into a RockBand 2 guitar controller and allows the user to go into overdrive mode by clicking the pedal with his or her while playing, as opposed to lifting the neck of the guitar, which is the usual method of invoking overdrive mode. For those unfamiliar with Rock Band, overdrive mode is a temporary effect where the user earns more than the usual number of points for successful play.
I suppose there are two reasons why one might want to use this functionality. Most importantly, it adds to the fantasy of being a rock star. This pedal looks like a real guitar pedal, and I definitely feel like I'm kicking up the song a notch when I stamp on it. However, it should be noted that while a real guitar pedal would alter the sound of the guitar when activated, this pedal only turns on a point bonus. The only actual change in sound when you turn on overdrive are the cheers that erupt from your virtual crowd.
Using the pedal to trigger overdrive might be easier for some people than the default method of lifting the neck of the guitar. However, while it is true that lifting the guitar can sometimes be difficult while playing, I found using the pedal to be even more distracting. There were times when I needed to look down in order to find the pedal. Furthermore, it was a little bit uncomfortable to click the pedal in bare feet (maybe not such an uncommon state of dress for your average RockBand champion), and that took my attention off the game screen.
To sum up, this is by no means a necessary addition to your Rock Band setup, and it won't make going into overdrive mode any easier, but this could be some nice icing on the cake of your rock star fantasy.

This product was well worth the money. The controller looks just like any other (no special buttons or extra garbage to futz with). It comes with 8 modes that generally affect the right trigger, but I think 1 or 2 modes affect both. It is very simple to use. Press the sync button and the 4th led will flash to tell you what mode you're on. You can quickly disable/standby the rapid fire mode by pressing the left trigger and then the sync button. Plus, the company offers a lifetime warranty on their products. I haven't played CoD5 online, so I cannot comment on what others are saying, but it has been a great controller for me so far!

This is a brand new, white, wireless controller that has been modified with dual rapid fire with 3 modes and LED indicators. The two new buttons turn rapid fire on/off for the RT and LT (AKA the normal triggers become rapid fire). For example, press the new right button once, and rapid fire turns on the right trigger. Press and hold the right button for 3 seconds, and mode 2 will be activated (indicated by the LEDs blinking 2 times). Press and hold for 3 more seconds and mode 3 will be activated (indicated by the LEDs blinking 3 times). Do it again to return to mode 1. We only use the highest quality parts, brand new controllers, and the most advanced coding on the microchip. Our controllers come with a 30 day warranty on the modification. If anything ever goes wrong out of warranty, just pay for shipping and we will repair it for free. However, we have made hundreds of these controllers and have never had to repair a single one. Be careful when ordering from elsewhere, not all chips and mods are created equal.

Logitech Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller Review

Logitech Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
That was my first thought upon unboxing Logitech's Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller. The second thing I noted, as I lifted it out, was that it is very heavy. This is no cheap plastic toy! This is a solid, well-constructed, replica guitar. And the quality shows.
Inside the box, the guitar is well protected for shipping with bubble wrap and cardboard spacers. Of note is the fact that this is a one piece unit. This completely eliminates the connectivity issues between the neck and body, as sometimes seen in guitar controllers that come boxed as two pieces. The guitar measures 33.75 inches from tip to base, with a slightly larger body than my Guitar Hero World Tour guitar, which measures only 31.25 inches in length (see the photo I posted with this review). This extra length pushes the fret buttons up a little bit, but I did not find this to be an issue. I store my guitars on a stand, but if you use a guitar bag or case, be aware that it might not fit. Rounding out the included accessories are a user manual, a quality strap, some batteries to get you up and playing fast, and an adapter for older style Xbox 360 headsets.
IMPRESSIONS
The guitar itself is modeled after Guitar Hero guitars, with the raised fret buttons and the neck slider feature. Keep this in mind if you are someone who prefers the look of the Rock Band guitars, with their in-line fret buttons. The chrome detailing, including tuning pegs and bridge, and use of real screws in the white pick guard lends an authentic look, effectively disguising the Start (bridge) and Star Power buttons (pickups) while keeping them functional. There is even an authentic looking nut between the headstock and the neck. The Star Power button sits right under the ball of your hand, so it's easy to press down on while strumming (you can also still rock Star Power with a neck tilt). The strum bar is the best I have ever seen on a guitar controller. It has exactly the right tactile feel, and is responsive yet quiet. One of my fret buttons makes a bit of a clickety-clack when I hit it, but I am hoping this goes away as it wears in. Overall, this is a quiet guitar, allowing for more enjoyment of the music.
COMPATIBILITY
I have tested this guitar with the following Xbox 360 games that I own:
* Band Hero: Yes
* Guitar Hero Van Halen: Yes
* Guitar Hero 5: Yes
* Guitar Hero World Tour: Yes
* Guitar Hero III: Yes
* Guitar Hero II: Yes
* Rock Band The Beatles: Yes
* Rock Band 2: Yes
* Rock Band: Yes
CONCLUSION
This is a quality guitar controller that I would recommend to any serious gamer who wants to add authenticity to their music games. It is a joy to play.

Xbox 360 Motorola Gaming Headset X205 Review

Xbox 360 Motorola Gaming Headset X205
Average Reviews:

First of all, don't buy this at Circuit City. You'll save a heck of a lot of money using Amazon instead.
As far as the headset, the volume is much louder than the headset from MS that comes with the 360. I've also heard that I come across much more clear using this headset, which is good. The louder volume is a big thing with me as I thought the original headset was just too low.
The big negative to the headset, as the previous user attested to, is the fit of the right side of the headset. It's just too tight on your head after a reasonable amount of gaming. Unfortunate too, because the rest of the headset is very high quality.
