(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Xbox Live Studios boss, Jerry Johnson commented that the fall update this year will improve the sound quality of headsets"

The code they used at launch of Xbox Live was a low rate codec.Since then Microsoft has stuck with that code until now.Releasing this fall the fall update will improve the sound quality of headsets over Xbox Live.Around the same time as the release for Kinnect.

"It's time for us to move on," he continued, "Especially if we want to think about broadening - a crackly headset on the top of your head not what people think of when they talk about popular entertainment."


In short, when that little kid from down the street shouts, "Mom, not now, I'm one kill away from a Killing Frenzy!!" over Xbox Live, it'll sound like he's in the same room as you, rather than him sounding like he's got his head stuck in a paper bag and is hitchhiking on the M1.

Actually, I'm not sure that's such a good thing... Too bad he won't be close enough to slap though.

This is good especially if you have a wired mic.

Turtlebeaches are gonna become better?

^^^It looks like they could get better.

Ps3 needs this more.

its talking about the stardard retail mic not turtle beaches as they arnt made by ms.

I'm not sure. If it's the codecs that are changing that means the whole sound should be better. They could become better but I'm not too sure.

yeh you never know but turtle beaches dont crackle nor does the sound come out of a retail mic so ?!?

Think ps3 should try this, I hate this static noise in the menu :confused:

Yay! Even better sound through my Turtle Beaches! :y:

always enjoy new information
