Step 7Time to Play!
With both sides soldered as instructed, you should be able to slide up the plastic housing and screw the jack into it.
You may want to mark which side is Headphones (black) and which side is Microphone (red) so it will be easy to hook up.
Attach the 1/8" to 3/32" adapter to the bottom of the newly modified "y" adapter and plug into your controller.
If you're having trouble with interference, try hot-gluing around your solder work to isolate the connections.
You can also use this set-up to connect your gaming headset with most cell phones too as they take the same jack.

this is a great idea, notto mention the only place on the net that i cout find something like this. i just finished one tha i made for my friend tonight after seeing this yesturday. although i didnt make mine with the extra adapter on the end. i just had a male to male 2.5mm cable that i cut in half and split to the two 3.5mm jacks. essentially the same thing but a little less bulk and hopefully a little less dangerous to use during more vigorous gaming. definately glad someone posted about this. great job

Thanks for the link to Triangle Cables plus they are on sale for $3 + s/h. Think that this will work with the Plantronics Audio 370 pc headsets that I bought on Woot for $5.99 to use with Xbox 360

well, i'm replying to this very, very late. As I'm sure you've already found out, the cables you linked in above only split audio out. They won't work for Mic in. Correct me if i'm wrong though since i haven't actually tried that.

Great write up! it got my wheels turning on possible options. Has Anyone tried to modify their existing xbox 360 headset connector, so they have the factory connector with a Mute button?

As great as all this sounds....it is really confusing! Am I the only one? Probably. :( the pictures are helpful but the components are so small it is to hard to see what I am looking at for connections. Some kind of wiring diagram would be extremly helpful if you had a minute to draw one up.

You should consider making and selling these. I've been looking all over for this. Hell, the guy who started making metal covers for rock band bass pedals has got to be in the money, perhaps you could make some cash! Anyway, thanks a ton for the info. End result actually looks pretty professional. Nicely done!

Cool. If you could send me a pm with how I'm supposed to purchase this from you, that'd be cool. Not too sure how to go about this.

If you're looking for a buyer, send me a message. I'll pick at least one of them up. I ended up screwing mine up and now I'm short on materials.

Nice adapter!! Really stupid noob question. Would this mod allow the game sound to be heard through the headset as well?

no, the game audio still comes through the TV, it's gonna work the same way their existing headsets do. but if you check the post above the device that EppyKay is talking about is supposed to route game sound to the headset. Personally, i like having them seperate so i can clearly hear my team talking.
