You can either go the route of the optical headphones, or if you want the one with the RCA's you will need the Y-connector with the mini stereo plug that goes where you plugged your iPhone one's into.

Tell me about it, I was impressed with the sound of firing and footsteps being heard and sounds from a distance even with my iphone buds, but reloading sound was not there and in madden there was no sound for tackles or the dialogue of songs was no there either, just the beat...real weird

I am going to get the ones with the optical which is very nice and hopefully my gaming experience will be complete

I have not used those personally, but I have used other comparable headsets.

And let me tell you, when you play action shooters, and you hear a sniper bullet buzz past your ears for the first time, it is enough to make your heart skip a beat!

That's a great headset, plus you can add the 5.1/7.1 Turtle Beach DSS later for surround sound. I got the DPX21 which are the same but come with the DSS. Plus the DSS can be used with other headphones such as the more expensive, audiophile type.

Re: Gaming headsets

I have the X11 and According to the instructions that came with my Turtle Beach Headset, if I have this http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Cable-Ad...=operasport-20 for sound I can still use my HDMI for video, but have my sound come through with the jacks and only through my headset and not my television and headset.

Does that sound correct?
