    Hi, i'm wondering how to use a Xbox 360 gaming headset(Specifically made for Xbox) on a normal PC/laptop. I would rather buy some jacks or leads to make it work for around £10's or so, rather than spending that amount on a cheap, rubbisher pair.
    Thanks for anyone co-operation.

    Is it USB or standard 3.5mm jacks? If it's the latter then just plug it in and it'll work exactly the same. If it's USB then the manufacturer may have provided drivers for PC, or you might have to source some of your own. Worst case scenario is that no PC drivers exist for your headset.
