Headphone jack! When you work shift work, or live with roomates, you know sometimes you play at night and have to sacrifice sound. If i just had a place to pop in my freaking headphones I'd be all set. Anyone else find this annoying? I know you have headphones for online, but what about us single player guys :(

Thats because no sound comes out of the Xbox, therefore no need for a headphone jack.  I play my through my Television or my Stereo Reciever depending on which room its in.

And here I thought the Dreamcast did.

I love my 360 like no other thing I own, but headphones would be sweet. I use my monitor as my tv and my VGA speakers cable hook up to my headphones jack in the speakers, so that takes that option away.

Okay, I will admit ownage.

Even us old fogies at 21 years make dumb mistakes like my claim.

Sorry for the waste of thread!

Well, depending on how much you are willing to spend, you can get a nice set of surround sound headphones that plug into the optical data output of your 360.   The ones I got where the Audio Extreme Surround Sound Headphones for the 360, made by Tritton.  Search for them, they are really awesome and give a pretty good approximation of surround sound, all inside the headphones.

If your desperate enough to play with headphones without a sound system or a jack on the TV, then you could buy a Y-adapter and a coupler, connect those two together, then plug it in to the red and white jacks on the 360's cable.

My surround sound has a headphone jack, so that's how I handle headphones.

You are absolutely right.  It is impossible when you have a roommate to play at a decent volume.

it would be cool if the 360 had wireless headphones, sort of like the wireless controller where you held in the X and they turned on, and somewhere in the options you could make it so that the sound plays in the headphones...dumb idea but it would be awesome

uh... Wow someone is special :D No actualy the thing is, you go to best buy or any other place, then buy those big ass headphones that fuse your mic and tv speakers together, one wire plugs into your controller while the other plugs into your TV diverting the sound from the speakers to your head phones making confersation really frusterating to understand :D But, really go buy that. Your 360 doesn't put out the sound, the TV speakers do, and they have head phone jacks.

um all you have to do is attach one of those wires that have stero inputs on one end and then a single output jack on the other to your AV and then plug  in headphones
