bob_c_b Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is there an easy way to use headphones with the 360? I want to grab noe and a VGA cable soon but I need headphone options for when I play late at night and the wife is sleeping? Any suggestions or actual experience welcome.

neoadorable Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) ah, a kindered spirit. my soulmate. yes, i ALWAYS game with headphones, save for when someone comes over to co-op. anyway, your VGA cable has red-white AV's, so you need a Y split to hook those up with your headphones. simple. here's what you need: http://www.nextag.com/Belkin-mini-stereo-y...219/prices-html i'm in a hurry so found the first link...however, you need all female leads, don't forget that! one thing - the volume will be terrible. 360's have the equivalent of on-board PC sound. it's non-amplified. you'll be hard pressed to hear Locust pledging allegiance to their queen, trust me on that one...

FreqFace Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) http://www.nextag.com/Belkin-mini-stereo-y...219/prices-html That's not right.. that's a jack splitter. You need this http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/5872.jpg Dunno where you can buy one though. I know it comes with Logitech speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lothodon Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 what about volume control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 what about volume control? You'd most likely need headphones with volume control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 yes, headphones vol control, but since the 360 is so quiet w/o an amp, you'll be on max the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is the volume level really that much of an issue? Might have to route it through my PC then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysphoria Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Get the Triton AX360 Surround Headphones I love them. THey definitely make a difference. They also have a Optical Input so you get Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Are you playing on a standard LCD Monitor, or an LCD TV? Most LCD TVs have a headphone jack somewhere on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 volumes are subjective, but still, yes, it's really low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v0ltage789 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 If you buy the official MS VGA Adapter it comes with the required adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 If you buy the official MS VGA Adapter it comes with the required adapter. No it comes with a 2 female RCA to a male 3.5mm audio plug. So he'd still need a 3.5mm female to female audio adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
