My Xbox 360 Wireless Headset Won't Connect

The Xbox 360 wireless headset allows you to voice chat with other players while playing games that support voice chat features. When you connect the wireless headset to your Xbox 360, it must make a connection to the same wireless port as your Xbox 360 controller. The port that your wireless accessories are using is indicated by one of four lights on the controller, headset and Xbox 360 game system. When all three lights do not correspond to the same port, your wireless headset may not work properly.
