Are xbox 360 headsets (mics) the same as wireless even though they use wires? By that I mean do they work the same way? I know you have to plug the mic into the controller for it to work but it will still work even when the controllers not plugged in. Does that mean it works like a cell phone and you just plug it in so the xbox recognizes it? Or does it go into the controller and through the xbox? I'm asking because I'd rather not use it if it really does work like a cell phone. I don't want it right next to my head talking on it if it acts as a cell phone and gives off radiation and stimulates brain cell activity. Thanks
