I know its possible if you get solder 2 2.5mm jacks onto a 3.5 or something like that. But is there an easier way to do it and also be able to use the mic at the same time?

I haven't heard of anyone taking a PC mic and using it with the 360. They might have a converter cable, that plugs into 2.5 mm and lets you use like 3.5 mm. You could probably find something like that at RadioShack. But again, I don't know if the mic would really work...

check this out http://www.nox-audio.com/Products/Negotiator-12 this company makes headsets as well as adapters that let you use any headset with a console. it might be a little pricey but it works and is designed just for consoles. maybe it could be reverse engineered and you could build your own at a cheaper cost

If you send me questions on Live about modding or anything related i will block you. Dont be an idiot.

I have found that most cell phone headsets work great.(I break a lot trying to adjust them)

Downsides:
No volume control

There are several options to use your PC headset on your XBOX.

If you want to use it like an XBOX Live chat-only headset, like the one-ear ones, you can get a headset buddy or an intec/datel. They are chat only so you'll get chat through your headset and game sounds through your speakers, which means your ears will be covered.

A better solution is to use your PC headset like an XBOX gaming headset, with chat and game audio both through the same source, most likely your headphones. You can do this with something called XJacker. They have kits for all types of audio setups, and have a really good and cheap mixamp so you can have a powered, boosted headset like the more expensive Turtle Beach, Astro, and Trittons.

Headset Buddy: Chat-only adapter
XJacker: XBOX gaming headset adapter for PC headsets
