And I was wondering if anyone had any info on it?

 

Found it at a carboot or "flea market" never seen them, presumed it was something that was used at an event of some sort? But it has an Ethernet cable in it too... So it's odd.

I thought as much, still an interesting piece and with the new xbox attachment I should be able to use it with xbox one controller

An ethernet cable just in the box or is there a place to plug it in on the headset?

 

Because if the latter the reason could be part of a security system for when this was used at an event or on a kiosk of some sort. Controllers secured through the mounts we already know and love, but you can't secure a headset the way you can a controller, so have it rigged up to a hub to where if there's a power break an alarm sounds and you can turn your attention right to the seat where the headset is at.

 

DAT CABLE THO Crazy security wrap. Like you'd find in a phonebooth. What'd you pay for it (if you don't mind saying if you're not going to resell it here or whatever)?

It's just a generic Ethernet cable it seems there's nowhere for it to go into the headset or the connector itself so it's good to go!

 

And I paid £5 that's it, only thing I found all day!

 

I've tested it, it works but the sound it puts through headphone side is slightly quiet and sadly there are no volume controls!

 

But still apparently the voice it puts through its clear as a whistle!

Can't go wrong with that. It's what people pay for a generic or used 360 basic headset.

That's a drag. No mute switch either, I'd guess.

 

Maybe take a small section of 2.5mm F-M to bridge the headset to the controller:

Or if you ever got a Rock Band guitar it came with one of those as a headset adapter for the old headsets.

 

And hack the guts of an old headset for its volume and mute control to wire into that extension so that you don't have to alter/damage the actual headset in any way and leave it untampered with in case it's possibly worth something.

Cool find, though, a reverse image search didn't pull up anything around where someone had the same lying around, so who knows how many of those are out in the wild.
