Xbox Live is a online gaming system that allows players to connect with each other through their Xbox game consoles. Players can chat, message, team up with other players, and communicate with opponents while playing the same game. Using a communicator headset leaves your hands free to use the remote controller. These days, a headset is practically standard issue, and some Xbox game kits even come equipped with a headset.
