Help finding headset/controller talkback cable for Xbox 360

May 6, 2011 5:56 AM

Here's the cable I'm replacing:
http://store.turtlebeach.com/cabx1talkbackcable.aspx
But I don't plan on paying $18 for a 9¢ cable that should still be working.

I need help finding a talkback cable to connect my headset (Turtle Beach x31) to my controller. It's just a simple 2.5mm audio cable with volume & mute. Doesn't need to be a brand name cable, just cheap :)

If anybody knows where I can get something like that, it'd be appreciated..

It's just a standard 2.5mm male/male cable.
I found one here at Buy.com for $8.30 shipped.

I love my Turtle Beach's too. Best thing I have bought in a long time. If you don't have it, I also highly suggest their DSS module. Full surround sound.

No volume control on that cable though.

@wickedd365: Oh I have it :)

FINALLY got it when Amazon ran a Lightning Deal and I picked it up for like $50 bucks, a few months ago. You're right though...'til you own one, you can't appreciate just how awesome they are.

I didn't realize how good headsets had gotten, so I wasn't even considering getting 'em before... then geeks.com posted a sponsored deal and @thefenst and @jaws001313 told me how awesome they were. A few months and $100 bucks later I gotta sick audio setup. I owe those guys a lot :)

[edit]
Yeah, thanks though...hopefully after a couple days of looking I'll be able to find a Chinese retailer that sells 'em for 99¢ heh...make my life a lot easier if I didn't need the volume controls...I may just end up splicing my own cable together..

@drchops: So true. I haven't had my TB's for a couple of weeks as i had to mail them in for warranty, gaming is not the same. I'm so spoiled to playing with them, it's weird not using them

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
