Headphones for xbox360 My tv has no headphones socket

I recently bought a LG TV and it has no earphone socket. I want to play my xbox360 through the tv but would prefer to have an earphone option. Is there an adapter I can buy ?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Headphones for xbox360 My tv has no headphones socket

If the cable you are using from the Xbox has phono audio out (red and white RCA plugs), just to what I do and plug them into a headphone amplifier.

Even the FiiO E5 amp would be more than adequate, will allow you to use pretty much any headphones with the TV. Will cost you about £20. Only issue with an amp like the E5 is that it only has a 3.5mm input, so you'd need a phono to 3.5mm male jack adapter, you can get gold plated ones on eBay for a couple of quid including postage.

Turtle Beach X1s come with a Stereo Phone > 3.5mm adaptor. This can be used to connect your headphone directly to the XBOX 360 AV cable. You also have the added bonus of the integrated mic for use with online games. Perfect for you
