Not good for the 360 March 24, 2006
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I purchased this headset to replace the crappy one that came with my Xbox 360. There are several things that stand out in my mind for why this headset is not for the 360.
1.) The audio cables that are part of the headset have no where to plug into the 360.
2.) There is no way to mute the mic when your on Xbox Live fragging other players.
3.) You have to have this thing plugged into the wall to provide the power it needs for the headphones. The cable for this is not very long either... 2 negatives.
So if your looking for a headset for the 360... keep on looking because this one doesn't cut it.
Would've been 2.5 because the sounds ok, it's just the mic February 5, 2006

I purchased this product back in November from J&R.com, through Amazon. From the first time I tried to use these headphones, I had sound but could not speak to anyone on Xbox live and the microphone "boom" quickly became loose and wouldn't stay in place.
I assumed I probably bought a defective set of headphones and contacted J&R for a replacement, a replacement that they approved, even though I had lost my original packing materials. So I packed up the defective headphones, paid the shipping and insurance costs and mailed them back to J&R. I received the replacement headphones Jan. 30.
This time, I made sure I didn't dispose of any of my shipping materials in the off chance I receive another defective set of headphones. (I even made sure to hold on to the wire ties just in case, but later threw them out because I realized that was a little too much)
Well the new headphones sound great but again the microphone doesn't work. The microphone plug does not seat in the XBox microphone jack and no amount of me holding it at strange angles allows me to transmit over the XBox live network. And I know the my xbox microphone jack works because in the process of a game, I placed my Microsoft microphone back in the jack and people could hear me loud and clear.
I really was disappointed about the fact that I was going to have to spend another (at least)$12 on shipping and insurance to send these headphones back to J&R. Not including another 30+ days for the replacement headphones to arrive.
But just to make sure that the problem wasn't something on my end, I thought it best to check TurtleBeach's Web site and make sure this time.
FROM THEIR OWN FAQs

AXT Mic issue:
Q: The microphone won't stay in the XBOX live adapter. I thought the AXT was
compatible with the Xbox.
A: The package includes a little adaptor (3" cable) that converts to the
mini Mic input for the Xbox. (It is a very small plug that easily gets
overlooked). Please look for it and if it is not there, send an email to: support@turtlebeach.com
As soon as I read this FAQ, I really took a close look at my headphone packaging. There was no (3" cable) to be found anywhere. There wasn't even a form cut into the plastic packaging material that would have held the piece.
It really made me think that there probably was no problem with the microphone on my original headset as well. I know that one didn't seat in the Xbox microphone jack either, both the prior microphone and my current microphone plug seem to be too small for the Xbox microphone jack.
I've already spent the money for these headphones and the money to have them shipped twice now.
