While I was reviewing the Xbox Wireless Headset, I couldn’t help but compare it to the Arctis 7X and the Kaira Pro. I missed the Artcis 7X’s simplicity and versatility; I missed the Kaira Pro’s excellent fit and superlative sound quality. But then I remem...
Abstract: Does anyone remember the Xbox 360 ? That second-generation Xbox gaming console first launched way back in November 2005, and that was the last time that Microsoft released a first-party wireless headset for its gaming console. However, that changes today...
