How to Hook Up a Headset to a XBox Live

The Xbox 360 Premium package includes a wireless headset. This headset only works when using the Xbox Live service. You can use the headset to communicate with fellow online gamers, talking to them before, during and after a match or game. Setting up and connecting your headset only takes 5 to 10 minutes; you'll have to reconnect it between each use.

Things You'll Need

USB charging cable (included)

  Charge your headset before using it. Connect the USB cable to your Xbox; connect the other end of the cable to your headset. The headset takes approximately six hours to fully charge. Once all four lights begin blinking simultaneously, the headset is charged.
