Plantronics Showcases New Xbox Headsets

By Digital Trends Staff March 30, 2006

Headset manufacturer Plantronics trotted out three new gaming focused headsets yesterday geared for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox video game systems. The new GameCom X30 ($29.99) and GameCom X10 ($19.99) will be available this month, while the GameCom X20 ($19.99) will be available in July.

The GameCom X30 and GameCom X20, said Plantronics, are designed with the Xbox 360 in mind. Both are lightweight and boast flexible, ear-melding designs. The GameCom X10 is designed for the Xbox and uses a traditional over-the-head style. All three headsets offer noise-canceling microphones to reduce background noise and feature inline volume and mute controls.

“Gamers have told us that they want discreet headsets that provide precise voice without overpowering the actual game audio,” said Renee Niemi, vice president of Mobile and Entertainment at Plantronics, in a statement. “The new GameCom headsets deliver on this and, equally important, give gamers a choice when it comes to headset wearing styles, color schemes and price.”

GTA 5 cheats: codes and phone numbers PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC

The main characters of Grand Theft Auto V stand side-by-side.

A slam-dunk of a game for the talented developers at Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V has been out for several years now, but it’s still an extremely popular title. We’re also guessing there’s some renewed interest in the game because the world knows we’re getting a Grand Theft Auto VI in the somewhat-near future. If you’ve ever played a GTA game, you’ll know the going can get a little tough from time to time. This is why it’s nice to live in a world with cheat codes.

Whether you just want to have a ton of fun with unlimited health and ammunition, or you’re seriously struggling with a certain section of the game, we’ve rounded up all the cheat codes you’ll need to know for GTA V, for platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC.
How to use GTA 5 cheats
There are a few ways to enter GTA 5 cheat codes. The first and easiest is to use your cellphone. You can open your cellphone by pressing Up on the D-pad. From there, enter the corresponding number, and the cheat will fire. You can also classically input cheats by following a specific button combination. The combinations are the same across PlayStation and Xbox, but we've split them up to account for their different button-naming conventions, so it should feel more natural reading and entering them.
