(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.

improve the quality of what? me hearing little kids bitching and talking shit... why no thank you.

I do not use my mic when playing my 360 (cuz it is a retard mic, need to implement bluetooth). I use my mic on PS3 (BLUETOOTH and less little kids)

I wish PS3 did this. Mics on PS3 are all static except Turtle beach

hopefully it fixes the buzzing sound that a lot of people have

Sweet I'm gonna try to get one on release day.

Cool, now I can actually hear my friends whilst playing, hope they increase the volume aswell cant even hear my friends whilst playing MW2....

nice post really helped me

Finally! This will be a good update

i wish the ps3 would get a free headset with the console, but im glad xbox's are getting an updrade
