Can you use Apple headphones (with the little microphone, comes with the iphone) as a mic for xbox live? it seems like it should work, i just haven't done it yet. Or is there some special thing only the Xbox 360 headsets have?
Answer
The Xbox 360 Controller has a standard 2mm microphone jack. If my memory serves me correct your iPhone headphones should be the size of regular headphones, which is 3.5mm, unless they gave you some sort of adapter.
However, if it fits in the jack on the controller, it should work. Look at plantronics and turtle beach, they use that port, it doesn't have to be made by Microsoft.

Xbox 360 headphones?
Yurtle the
We have 2 Xbox Live setups right next to each other, and so that we dont get the sound clouded up by the TV, i'd like to purchase two sets of headphones with both the stereo sound and chat. I've heard that the turtle beach headphones are great but i dont know what model, and being a skullcandy earphones fan, i need to know if they have any decent headphones: -under $50
-capatible with an HDMI xbox setup

I personally use the Turtle Beach Earphone X1's and the sound is really excellent. Even more important than the actual sound quality itself is how it improves your gameplay. You'd be surprised how great of an advantage you have over other players when you wear Turtle Beach's and they aren't. You can hear people sneaking up on you, reloading, falling, etc. from quite a far distance away. If nobody's on the map near you, you know it's an enemy player. As far as hooking them up, you do need some sort of RCA audio output. But since you run HDMI cables you'll need to purchase the xbox HDMI av adapter. This allows you to run HDMI for your video, and have RCA audio outputs as well. Check them out on http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable/.
Turtle Beach's are $60 each, and the HDMI av adapter is I believe $50 so you may be over your budget. I should mention though that while wearing the Turtle Beach headphones it blocks out practically all other noise so in reality you may be able to use the TV volume on one xbox, and the Turtle Beach's on the other and as far as sound goes both of you (players on separate TV's) should be happy. Good luck!!
