Headsets are becoming more and more popular, and as you've seen before, we've been covering a variety of them. Some sets are wired, some wireless, all are crucial to your gaming and co-op experience. Like any good headset, it's only good if there's a quality microphone to communicate. The new Primal Wireless Headset from Rude Gameware offer a unique solution to a completely wireless package.
The infrared based headset will run you $99 and included in the box are a transmitter, pair of headsets, an adapter cable and most interesting - a directional microphone that plugs into the base of your 360 controller. So while the headsets could technically work on any audio source, the microphone is specialized. What's interesting about the mic is there's no wires at all, and only a small direction nub that'll pick up any audio. No annoying foamy thing at your mouth!
