| Caller ID looks sharp on this Bluetooth headset
If we like anything, we like Bluetooth headsets, although they do have some weaknesses. Often, a headset won't have a screen for call display, and even if it does, it's often too low-res to show usefully read. Helium Digital's HD-880 headset aims to give you a better view on who's calling with a super-crisp OLED screen. Besides call display, the small screen also gives text feedback to ease the occasionally frustrating process of pairing the headset with your cell phone. Not bad for $80, although I'm personally holding out for the version that can play video. Just kidding. — Peter Pachal .
Accessory Review: Datel Headset Adapter for Xbox 360
You know that kitchen drawer you find all those oddball adapters in that really serve no purpose, but are great to have around? These always come in handy at just the right time too.Datel's Xbox 360 Headset Adapter is one such device. It is simple; it will cost you $10, and if you need something like this, is worth every penny.With this little gadget you can plug any standard headset into the Xbox 360 controller. Included is a volume control dial, as well as a mute toggle switch, just like on the official Xbox 360 headset.What was happening a lot, when using my AX360, is the headphone cord would get pulled out of the controller way too easily. With this Datel adapter however, the cord stays tethered to the controller, as it should.As with many third party products, this one has its drawbacks.
