2 prong vs 3 prong

I learned something new after chatting online with a knowledgeable support rep at Tritton/Madcatz.

The chat cable which came with my AX720s (that is, the cable that links the inline controller for the headset with the Xbox 360 controller or with the Xbox One headset adapter) has a 3.5mm prong on each end. Each 3.5mm prong had 2 black stripes on it.

Turns out, the cable I NEED has the same 3.5mm prong on each end, but one prong must have 2 stripes, and one must have 3. I'm sure someone who is more of an audiophile than I am can tell me the difference between the 2 stipe prong and the 3 stripe prong.


Not sure if 2 three-stripe prongs will work, but I have gotten chat to work by using two adapters, and going from 2 stripe 3.5mm to 2.5mm and then back to 3.5mm with three stripes.

Sounds convoluted, but at least I can now chat through my Trittons, which I love and are terrific headsets.

Well.no you have to use an inverter which is a car adapter for 2-3 pronged plugs

2 prongs of the hdmi are in the cable and it’s happened to loads of ppl the same 2 prongs sticking in the wire will this be covered ? It hasn’t been dropped or nocked this as only happened when un lugging it and it was don’t with care so there must be a fault ?

are you sure it didn't bring it? that little cord is hiding in the box so maybe you overlooked it? I'm almost positive they're not compatible, the 360 slim is 3 pronged and the xbox one is 2 pronged. I wouldn't chance it on a $500 system, just call xbox
and tell them it wasn't in the box.

sorry a/b/g networks for the single prong and a/b/g and N for the double prong antenae.
