Fake.

I don't know why they would have.

You include a $400.00 piece of equipment that you invest a huge amount of time and resources to improve the audio fidelity on, only to include a $20.00 headset? Right.

Doesn't make sense. Financial or as a message to consumers. As long as they give a means of easily muting the mic (which I didn't think they did with the Xbox 360 & Kinect), then I think it'll be fine.

With the Xbox 360 Kinect actually offers a better mic than the standard mic or even the wireless mic ever was. My biggest disappointment was buying the Xbox 360 wireless mic thinking it'd offer better audio fidelity than the included wired mic. Kinect on the other hand actually offers significantly better fidelity.

I just don't understand the objection to Kinect.

How can I mute Kinect on the fly? I don't like my mic being on at all times. I also don't want it picking up other things from my office/house. Would have preferred a headset bundled, or at least the 360 headset adapter.

I love how people assume kinect 2 mics will suck like the first one.... how about we wait to see the product before judging ??? I hope you guys have never been on jury duty.....

sound cancellation works better and better on dual mics phones why wouldn't it work with a 4 array mics of higher quality with better software....

not saying it will be perfect without a doubt.... but we could at least give it a chance before passing judgement can't we ????

That's good if true. Kinect isn't good enough for most people

false info, lock de thread lol

Or you could just use the 100$ you save for a proper headset. I know, mind blown.

what proper headset at 100???? you barely get proper earphones for 100 bucks.....
if you spend 60+ on a game I find it dumb to use a shitty 100 bucks headphone on it.... might as well retro game if quality is not a perk for you

False. ANd old. This was old and updated nearly 7 hours ago. Change title and lock.

Having peoples voices coming out of the TV instead of into your ear? Eww. Im sure you can spare a little cash and buy a headset for your £429 console. Shouldnt be too much more they want you to pay, surely.
