Hi all,

I have a pair of Bose headphones that i wish to use with my 360. I have a VGA connector to my LCD but that has no speakers or headphone port. How do I connect my hadphones to the 360? I tried connecting it to the port in the wireless controller but the headphone jack doesnt fit.

Many thanks, GodAtum.

This may seem a bit simple but do you have a DVD player etc they may have a Headphone port on them.

Hmmm get a RCA adapter for headphones and you should be ok. RCA btw is the Red and White white ports on your tv

If you bought the official 360 VGA cable then it comes with an adaptor to convert the RCA (Red and White audio) into a stereo pin (3.5mm). What you would need now is to get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo adaptor to allow you to connect it to your headphones.

Not unless you have some hugely powerful speakers in those headphones!!

I have a pair of wireless Philips headphones I occassionally use, and just have the VGA cable with connector plug into the base unit and it works fine.
