controllersrock-band-3xbox-360
we just got Rock Band 3 for XBox 360 and we're trying to use the wired headset attached to the vocalist (wireless) controller as a mic. This work in Rock Band 1 and 2, but it's not working in 3.
Is this working as intended, or am I doing something wrong?
I was wondering if you could play Rock Band on No Fail and just blast out songs karaoke-style
Yes, but only in Rock Band 3. This is called "all instruments mode" (AIM) and can be enabled in the per-user overshell settings. That's the menu at the bottom of the screen for each player.
(look ma, no vocalist! keys/drums/guitar/bass)
In AIM, there is no vocalist player with a controller, it's basically karaoke mode. Full easy harmony vocals are always on and scrolling across the top of the screen. Any connected microphone, up to 3, can sing any part of the song -- or not -- at any time. It is completely optional but always on for walk-ups.
There is no vocalist scoring in this mode though, so all you can do is get streaks and see how you do on each vocal segment.
That also means you can either sing lead (blue line), harmony #1 (orange line), or harmony #2 (red line) from any microphone.
You will need the Microsoft Wireless Receiver. Using this you should be able to use both the wireless headset and the wireless controler with your PC. I'm not sure if you can use it with your Droid though.

I can't speak for RockBand 3, but I know that the manual for Beatles: Rock Band specifically states that the xbox 360 headset is incompatible with the game. Have you tried checking your own game manual?
