Headset
* Headset: allows gamers to talk to each other when plugged into the controller’s expansion port and connected to Xbox Live. The headset can also be used with a PC but requires a controller to do so. Some upcoming Xbox 360 titles may benefit from voice command. It has an in-line volume control and a mute switch. An official headset is not needed for a controller; any standard 2.5 mm socket handsfree set from a mobile phone will work as a headset. However, not all hands free headsets have volume control or mute functions.
