Chat compatible cable for Beats headphones

Buddy, and are you able to test with another headset to see if maybe there's an issue with your Beats headphones?
(Or if you're able, connect the headphones directly with a 3.5mm jack cable)

By the way, is this the first time you used the headphones? Or before the headphones worked normally?

I read in another thread on reddit (www.reddit.com/.../beats_apple_earbuds_and_similar_mfi_headsets_will) that a user had success
with Beats Studio headphones using a cable similar to what @Aox Chap described, but he picked it up from RadioShack. I went and picked one up myself today for around $10 and change, and can confirm that it works perfectly for chat and game sound. The cable
is made by Auvio and replaces the red mic cable that comes with the Beats. The cable also has a mic + one button (so no volume up/down) which behaves similar to button on the Beats mic cable. Audio was clear and no issues seen. The SKU for the item is 3300541.

While this is after the fact, I also see several other cables on Amazon and other places which look quite similar to what I picked up (and for about half the price), and I suspect any of them would work just as well. Just do a search for "Headphone cord
with mic" on Amazon to see the bunch of 'em.

Too bad no generic solution that would allow the Apple headphones to work, but I guess it's not a big loss. Have a couple of functional headphones working now so all's good.

Lastly, one thing that I don't quite like about this setup (with Beats) is that there is no feedback on the chat, so you can't hear yourself through the headphones. If someone finds a way to make this work through some config setting, please let me know.

Thanks to all on this thread that helped provide responses, and I hope this info helps others in the future that come here looking for the same info I did.

It doesn't sound like that type of headphone is compatible with the chat adapter. I believe it needs to be a cable running between the adapter and the headset.

I would presume one of the issues is a bluetooth set does not get enough power from the headset jack to work properly.

yes I'm sure you conneced it - I checked the homepage - is it this one?

this one has two 3.5mm cables - did you use the RemoteTalk cable?

Hi Alan72 - do the headphones come with an audio cable? If so just connect them directly into the Xbox controller. I am not sure if the Arctis 7 headphones are compatible with the xbox when wireless.
