How to Set Up the SteelSeries 360 Headset Connector

SteelSeries is a technological device manufacturer who, among other things, produces accessories for the Xbox 360. One such accessory is the Xbox 360 headset connector, which is designed to convert a regular PC headset to work as an Xbox 360 headset. This connector is very small and fits right onto your Xbox 360 controller, just like the standard Xbox 360 microphone. Once you have the connector plugged in, the remaining setup can be accomplished without difficulty.
