Okay so i have these awesome earphones for my xbox but I really want to connect them to my PC for at least voice chat if possible. saves me getting a separate pair of earphones :)

It is a single 3.5 audio jack for both microphone and sound, my NZXT case has two 3.5 jack inputs or each

Any info would be great thanks guys!

Is there anyway of buying a adapter/amplifier so i can adjust the mic/sound volumes ect and mute the mic from a psychical device?

or would this be done with a piece of software from turtlebeach or maybe just in the OS itself?


Many thanks

Controlling the volume and muting the microphone can be done within Windows, but if want something that's easy to access, this Konig speaker headset switch might do you what you're looking for. Link
 
Wouldn't wonder if Turd Beach is hyping about bass because that's the only thing those reproduce...

There's actually two different standards for 4-pin mic+headphone connector so every adapter might not work.

XBone uses CTIA

Just better to avoid using those for adjusting headphone volume.
They work by adding resistance in series with headphone.
And that acts just like output impedance:
Unless headphone's impedance curve is flat they cause frequency response changes by forming frequency dependant voltage divide with driver's impedance.
And even if there's no frequency response change they lower (electric) damping factor lowering signal's control over driver's movement.
 
I'd be surprised if it's not CTIA standard, which is most common. Looks like not much but Chinese phones use the other standard now.

Startech also make a headset splitter cable, which they have confirmed as CTIA standard in case the one I lined is the other standard.

Would you mind linking me to a cable that will work if this one doesn't?
