Original Xbox Communicator - Foam Replacements
Poorly written by Billy on July 20, 2025Original Xbox communicators, while definitely a 2000s idea of a headset, are still out there and usable on an Original Xbox (or, 360), with one main caveat - after ~23 years, the foam has started deteriorating on both the microphone and the speaker. I recently acquired one of these headsets and wanted to check what would fit.
The speaker fits a 50mm (2in) diameter foam pad - these can be found at a low price from places like AliExpress ("5cm width"), though local shops may also carry them.
The microphone piece I was able to fit a 31x25x10mm microphone sock - this is still a little bit long, there's definitely a little bit more space inside than is necessary, but it wont fall off the stem. I purchased this from AliExpress, also.
