It depends on the game, MotoGP allows 4 per Xbox with only one gamertag and
3 guests. Many games only allow 1 person per Xbox. The headset plugs into
your controller, so it does not take up a controller port. The headset is a
feature for subscribed members of Xbox Live and not guests, so your guests
can not use a headset unless they are also a Live subscriber. Basically one
headset per gamertag.

True.
You can take your gamertag account with you on a memory card to a friends
Xbox.
Or, in my case, the g/f has her tag on my Xbox and we can both play MotoGP
split screen.
That way we both have a headset each.
It appears that we could have one/two players also as guests (if they don't
also have their own gt's)
