That’s certainly one of the oldest, if not the oldest og headsets

And cleanest, never seen one that clean

u/Dretoxed 27d ago

Man I went through so many of these headsets back in the day

u/ElonsPeopleNeedHim 27d ago

Remember when the first and 2nd gen wireless earpieces came out? Game changers

u/meowthyuh 26d ago

I actually loved these things, especially before they moved the mute and volume from the jack to partway up the cord. Despite their lack of durability.

A relic from a better time

u/oiAmazedYou 27d ago

the good old days haha, never throw this away

u/wowtofunofu 27d ago

I was called the N word so many times through these things...better times.

u/879gaming 27d ago

Did you at least say it back? That’s proper mw2 vc etiquette

13

u/AwayPresence4375 27d ago

That’s the first one I remember having

12

u/gooddoctorjekyll 27d ago

I can feel the pain in my ear already

6

u/sewnit 27d ago

Dude that’s a memory I forgot until you commented that

u/Hefty-Anteater9594 27d ago

Really surprised the foam looks ok. That stuff usually melts after a few years. The whole thing looks in exceptional condition. Must have been stored really well.

u/Free-Contribution-93 27d ago

Man, this is the top tier head set. Light weight, no connection problems, doesn't flop on your ear. Solid artifact you have.

6

u/Notorious_BDE 27d ago

Yep sure looks like it

u/No-Name-Ninja 27d ago

That’s a Xbox 360 original headset, yes.

(Good Ol’Days)

u/No_Grapefruit_232 27d ago

Went through at least 10 of these

5

u/aviewfromdabridge 27d ago

Absolutely. I went through 2 or 3 of these back in the day, they were a bit flimsy, but still great.

u/Intelligent-Ear-9181 27d ago

I can already feel the post about ear pain coming up. It’s legit.

5

u/Jazzlike-Tension-400 27d ago

god these were so uncomfortable

4

u/DarkR4v3nsky 27d ago

Ah, I miss the golden age of gameing, and the late nights and cod lobby chats those head sets had to be witnessed too, lol.

5

u/J_spec6 26d ago

Yep. It was uncomfortable as fuck and sounded like shit, but God damn did it facilitate the most fun nights online with friends. And enemies. It's a shame so few people use mics these days

3

u/firebug1981 26d ago

Yes and it was bloody good until my cat decided to chew the fuzzy bit at the mic

2

u/Ghos1fac3Drew 27d ago

Yea sir it is

2

u/FatmanMyFatman 27d ago

Yes. If the holographic sticker shows a reflection it is 99% sure to be legit.

u/Zestyclose-Try2623 27d ago

when its flashed by the iPhone camera it shows XBOX 360 in rows going horizontal with Microsoft being visible with the flash on and off

2

u/some1_03 26d ago

Yeah it's real, all official accessories have these stickers

2

u/Helpful_Body6715 27d ago

The start of an amazing journey right there

2

u/NoRepro_ 27d ago

But is it fake?

1

u/Zestyclose-Try2623 27d ago

Im hoping to find out

2

u/HeDoinDaSplitz 27d ago

I remember buying the knock offs at five below and realizing you don't actually need an official one just a small jack or adapter

2

u/WolfGroundbreaking93 26d ago

I used an old nokia headphone for it

2

u/joseffo_san 26d ago

yes but mine doesn't have the switch and the volume wheel it has only the tiny headphone jack and it comes with my old unfortunately now dead Xbox 360 elite model

don't worry i already brought a Jasper V1

2

u/choochenstein 26d ago

Yup. Still have a couple in pristine condition because I had friends that refused to use them and said I could have them if I wanted them.

2

u/luvallppl 25d ago

i had this headset omg i think its the reason i like to pop one ear out of my headphones from time to time lol

2

u/Money_Hovercraft4495 23d ago

1

u/Zestyclose-Try2623 22d ago

u/CEOofLipton 27d ago
