    Xbox 360 Media Remote and Bluetooth Wireless Headset unveiled

    By Paul Lamkin | Pocket-lint – Tue, Jul 26, 2011

    Just when you thought that you had all the Xbox 360 accessories that you needed, Microsoft goes and unveils another two - the Media Remote and the Wireless Headset with Bluetooth - that you surely can't live without.

    Starting with the Media Remote, this zapper will give you complete control over your Xbox 360 Dashboard, as well as offering playback controls for your DVDs, CDs and for media apps such as Zune, Last.fm and Sky Player.

    The Wireless Headset with Bluetooth is exactly what it says on the tin. It's a Wireless Headset...with Bluetooth (3.0) - the Bluetooth aspect allowing you to hook up with your smartphones or tablets to make calls whilst you get your game on.

    There's a nifty light display telling you which mode you're in (green for Xbox and blue for Bluetooth) and it also throws in some other features such as noise cancellation.

    It comes with a number of different sized ear buds, charges via micro USB and you'll get 8 hours of talk time and up to 300 hours of standby on a single charge.

    Both accessories are out in November - the remote for £14.99 and the headset for £39.99.

      For ��39 people would be better off buying turtle beach X11's as you cannot beat having a proper over the ear headphone setup with gaming sound coming out of them opposed to ��39 to have just chat which you can already do with the supplied wired headsets.

        Too right, I have a Turtle Beach X11 and think it's fantastic, plus it can be used as a headset to talk to ppl on skype and doesn't require charging as it's wired.

        Yup :) I just found a picture of the thing, its exaclty like the ps3's version with a tiny little moveable hook for over the ear. Reminds me of the cheap ones you can get for a fiver off ebay and just as bad as they fall off all the time.

        I think the whole reason for the refresh is just to keep it in line with the slims look and to replace the old style one as they were terrible for going wrong.
