Its wireless to hear the sound of the tv, however if you want to chat, you need a wire from your headset to your controller. That wire is of course included in the box.

In order to talk to others on Xbox live, there is a wire between the headset and controller.

You do need a wired controler everytime you want to play. I always leave my controller plugged in to use my headset.

This is only a hard wire hookup.most wireless systems controllers are battery operated. All you need is power to the fan

Controllers don't come with wiring harnesses. You buy them separately. There's a ground wire, a power wire a controlled power input wire and a controlled output wire

No there are two different ones. This has no wires. But u need the wireless box that goes with it for it to work. They have a model that is almost like this one that comes with wires

If your controller is wireless, you will have to go through a few more steps. However, using a wired controller, you only need to plug in the USB, start your game, go to control settings, and make sure "360 controller" or simply "controller" is enabled. The following are instructions for a wireless 360 controller. 1. You need to have or purchase a wireless gaming receiver. Assuming you have windows, the software should automatically install after a few minutes. 2. Like most wireless gaming controllers, a "search" button will allow you to connect with your device. However, first you need to press the search button on the receiver. Then, press the search button on the controller. 3. If you do not connect, check your batteries and open up the "My Computer" window to make sure your receiver is connected. (Usually it will appear under devices) 4. You may need to configure some settings in-game to make sure the buttons are bound to the right control. 5. If you are still having trouble with the controls, the Xbox forums have easy-to-follow advice for most Windows versions. http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-other-devices/windows/xbox-controller-for-windows-configure#72e400f5ec8c476d9cf9c94e50918dcf

Yep. If you want to use your 360 via wireless you'll need one of the wireless adapters from Microsoft. Otherwise you can connect them via ethernet cable without any additional stuff. I ran mine like that and never had a problem.

Hello, Only wireless if the device is "Blue Tooth" enabled. If not then you will be sing cables to connect it to the device. As an example you will need wires fro Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS/3.

Yes, wires into the keypad, controller and headset still work if controller is wireless too. Good buy IMO.

Wade, I did get the wired controller. Don't know if the wireless unit is as good. Enjoy Wolfenstein...amazing graphics and great story line with tons of REAL challenges.

im pretty sure it is. it comes in Microsoft packaging and is completely overpriced. all joking aside yeah. i have ordered other wired controllers off of amazon and they were all cheap this one came out of the box and had a completely different presence than the others.

It is a wired controller (Not like a USB cord that is used to charge cordless controllers). It is a good controller. I have smaller hands and with the turbo function it works good with fighting games. So again, it is a wired controller that is connected and it is not a wireless controller.

The controller originally sold with this console was wireless, but there was no controller included with mine as I bought mine used.

It uses a standard 3.5mm headphone and mic jack, so natively no. But a quick Google search of "3.5mm jack to xbox controller" will probably find the adapter you need.Also the lights will not glow since it has to be powered by USB.
