HDMI - 2 Connecting Xbox 360 to Turtle Beach X-headsets

This was an extremely helpful article thet provided me the information I needed to buy the right cables in order to use my Earforce DX11 Turtle Beach headset for Xbox 360.

THANK YOU!!!!! You helped me not have to buy another cable!

very helpful, thankyou :)

This article explained every question I had. Thanks for all the information. Most informative peice I foudn.

For both of the connectors that "Block" the hdmi port this can be very easily bypassed. I have both the new xbox360 and older elite 360 and have modified both of there plugs to fit hdmi and sound.
You will need things like Pliers, Grind Stone, Snips...
Take the grind stone-for the new xbox plug and just grind the tab off thats blocking the hdmi port... DONE

For the old xbox adapter, take a pair of snips and cut inbetween the two plastic covers and eventually they will pop apart and you can work the rest of it off with pliers and snips.

Hopes this helps anyone

I sawed the plastic tab off with a small hacksaw and it works great!

love this page, has the exact info I was looking for. I would've liked to see a picture of an xbox using the hdmi audio cable, and the hdmi cable plugged into the back at the same time.

I had just got a HDTV and I was very close to buying the RCA adapter for my X11. This article saved me some money and that is always a good thing. Thank you Turtle Beach. (I love headset BTW. I never play without it.) :)

Why would you make a product if the connection pieces are discontinued. This article was helpful yet I will not be able to use my turtle beaches ear force seeing as microsoft discontinued making the adapter cable

Just wanted to let you know that your Knowledgebase/support website is absolutley superb! Please keep up the good work!

I spread the word to make everyone's lives easier. If your turtles have them red and white RCA plugs, just buy one of these and get the audio from where you usually plug your headphones:

No need for adapters!!

Microsoft discontinued the part but its available allll over the internet for like five bucks

Just got a third party HDMI cable, and went to play with my TBs. Didn't work, sawed the little plastic tab off the bottom of my original audio/video cable, and both fit pretty easily into the back of the 360. Took about three minutes, and one cut thumb. No biggie. Thanks

This is what i'm looking for. I almost bought a standard original hdmi cable from microsoft, I end up bught a third party HDMI cable called 360HDMI and it went excellent. I can use the headset without problems and give good display quality. Because, as far as i know the original cable (and the adapter)from microsoft is sucks. It cost very expensive but the quality same like a normal cheap stuff in the market.

In the end, i bought the cheap audio adapter (yes, it cost no more than $5) and bought the cable from www.360HDMI.com (my friend which is a former game creator works for microsoft refer me to this). The display quality really different, like comparing DVD and blu-ray. The sound quality also great, it is the same as you bought the standard one.

THANK YOU! My son is now a happy camper and no extra money was spent. A little manual labor and voila!

WOwza thanks for this saved me buying yet another cable - my Dad sawed off the blocking part and bingo it works a treat!

Well just as i get excited to finally switch from the co-axials to an hdmi cable and BAM, no audio output. just like that. My appreciation for the write up, you saved some drywall patch work and possibly a new controller...was a close one.So I guess i just need the av/digital jack and a little tooling around. Gah. Personally I don't understaand why they even come with av cables, I think its safe to say more people have hdmi capable TV's, and considering the cables cost less then the gas to get them it should be the lesser group thats forced to get cables that work for them.

Thanks guys for taking the time to put together such thorough and comprehensive info on your Web Site. I was lost, but this saved the day. Keep the good work.
