How to Talk to Friends With a Headset on Xbox

The Xbox 360 is a high-definition video-game system that allows the user to download HD content using its matchmaking- and content-distribution service, Xbox Live. Using Xbox Live, users can connect with friends anywhere in a private chat room that they control. There is no limit to how long you can use it and it is free. Even those with only a silver Xbox Live account can use the voice-chat options.
