Re: usb headphones

I have some USB headphones for my PC but I have never tried them on the 360, I always assumed they would be unsupported, however, I might give them a try tonight and report back to you.

Re: usb headphones

Tried it and as expected it didn't work.

Shame really as this would be a handy feature for me.

Re: usb headphones

You can't use anything that's not officially supported by MS on the 360. USB keybaords are about the only exception, but they have standards to comply to aswell.

What's wrong with using headphones that connect to your TV or amp? That's what I do.
