Xbox 360 Headset

Designed for use exclusively with the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system, the lightweight Xbox 360 Headset (sold separately for the Xbox 360 Core system) features a noise-canceling microphone with an adjustable boom that lets you chat with and send voice messages to other gamers—both in-game and out-of-game—as well as use voice commands in games that support voice command functionality.

To chat and send voice messages, you need an Xbox Live® membership.

Comfort and Convenience

Play for hours without a hint of fatigue thanks to the headset's padded ear piece and adjustable headband. The boom microphone swings both left/right and up/down, so you can wear the headset on either ear or switch ears at any time. The headset pulls easily into position with one hand, and its pivoting ear piece lets you check for activity without actually putting it on.

Setup couldn't be easier: the headset's four-foot cable plugs directly into the 2.5-mm jack at the center of the Xbox 360 Controller, granting easy thumb access to both the rotary volume control and the microphone mute switch.

Unlike other headsets, the Xbox 360 Headset mutes 100 percent of all outgoing sound.
