Product Description

The DS Mic headset can be used while playing online with friends. During a battle or trade, two players can speak with each other. They must have each other's friend codes registered for this to work. The advantage to using the DS Mic headset is that you can have a more private conversation (the audio comes through the one earpiece), and the Mic is closer to your mouth. It works with any game that uses voice recognition such as Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version, the Nintendogs series and Metroid Prime Hunters.

Customer Reviews

Great DS Lite accessory!
My 11-year-old son is way into the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. He plays via wi-fi with his friends and this headset makes it much easier to talk to his friends while playing. Plus, c'mon...for a kid, wearing a headset while paying a game over the net is way cool. A great deal for $9.99, too. If you have a DS Lite and are going to play wi-fi games, get yourself one of these. You won't be sorry!

Voice Helper
With the success of the Nintendo DS, there have been so many different gamers who are now into the use of the WI-FI. However, many gamers have had a very tough time speaking normally into the microphone because of the voice recognition on games like Brain Age, and the Nintendogs series. Thankfully, a new accessory helps you talk easier. This Nintendo DS Headset is easy to use. You place it on your ear, and speak through its microphone. It is easy to use, and works better on games that require the microphone as a tool like in Brain Age, where you have to use voice recognition to speak out words of a color context like blue or red, or in Diddy Kong Racing where you'd have to blow into the microphone to start your hovercraft engine. I really like this because it makes gamers feel more comfortable when playing games that need to use the microphone. This is definitely a great buy for anyone who owns a Nintendo DS. Speak now, and don't stop holding your voice.

communication is fun.
Fun if you want to chat with a friend while playing. I purchased this as a deal of the day for $6 so i got what i paid for. Hopefully more games will use this headset.
