How to Auto-Tune an Xbox 360 Headset

The Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless headset can be auto-tuned to work with your system. Wired headsets plug into the Xbox 360 controller and correspond to the port the controller they are attached to is assigned. Wireless controllers do not have to be plugged in, which allows for a greater range of movement when you are enjoying your console video games. Once you have set up your wireless headset, every time you turn it on it will automatically calibrate to its previous settings.
