    Ok, let me see if I can help. I just went through something similar to your situation. The 360 controller is made for the 2.5mm input. You can buy a mono 3.5 to 2.5 mm adapter from Radioshack to make the microphone work. However, you need to look at specs for the headphones you are interested in. If the headphones has a mic but not a dedicated speaker for just the mic, then you have to configure the 360 (under voice options) to speakers instead of headset. This will output all voice to speakers. Problem is that it is incredibly hard to hear anyone with explosions and airstrikes going on. I use the razer carcharias headphones and I purchased a phone mic, 2.5 mm from fries that clips to your shirt. I can then use this in combination with my razer set and it works real well... hope this helps. Best Wishes, StevenX
