  • Hands free audio: I love the Polycom communicator for this. We use them at work, they cost about 90 bucks, and free you from the tyranny of headsets by doing echo cancelling right on the unit. I plan on using one for my home setup, so I can relax on my couch like I would in a normal game. Amazon.com sells them.
