Xbox 360 Wireless Headset Connection Process

The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset allows gamers to communicate with one another without the annoyance of long cords. The original Xbox 360 Headset, included with the purchase of the system, must be plugged into a controller to operate. It has the benefit of not requiring batteries; however, its long wire often gets in the way while playing games. The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset combats this problem by communicating directly with the Xbox 360. After a brief installation process, the wireless headset is connected and ready to use.
