That's the "Microsoft GameVoice" without the MS logo and software.
I bought the MSGV many moons ago and it is a great little piece of hardware. It is made by Plantronics, so you know it's quality hardware and it came with the headset/micropone from plantronics as well. The best feature is the headphones/speaker switch and the mute button.

I think there is a little more to the GameVoice hardware... It has buttons for changing channels assigned to it, as well as the Gamevoice softwre comes with it. No?

Cool toy PV. I have a MSGV but do not use it, seeing as we use RW for comms and I do not use the MSGV voice command software. Ah well.
Thankfully I have my Klipsch 4.1 speakers(400W) with the updated control pod. The control pod is for adjusting the volume, bass levels, surround levels, etc.. Well, it also has a headset port plug and an on/off button to turn off the external speakers, thus allowing you to use only the headset. You plug in your headphones and you are ready to roll. Of course I have to run a seperate cable from the headset to the back of my sound card MIC IN plug, but I never have to get back there to switch anything around. If I want external surround sound, I just turn the power button on the control pod to ON(GREEN LIGHT ON POD) and if I want to use the headset without external sound, I turn the power off(RED LIGHT ON POD). I bought these Klipsch 4.1 speakers 3 years ago(And still running strong) and they are IMO still the best computer speakers ever made. Yes, they are expensive($300), but I will never have to buy computer speakers ever again. (Unless I blow these up,
