I have my 360 hooked up via HDMI cord. My question is I'm buying a new pair of cans due to my wife and kid sleeping I can't have the volume very loud.

either these:

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555-P...84842440&sr=1-5

or these:

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD515-D...4842440&sr=1-18

I've also been reading that you can get a FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier and that'll work

Could someone help me out on how to get these to work once I purchase them.

do I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Kit-Conn...84842957&sr=1-3

or this:

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Headset-A...&sr=1-1-catcorr

I don't play on live so I'd like to hear the game in both ears. Any help would truly be appreciated.

You need headphones that will amplify the 360's audio output. The headphones you linked don't do that (I think).
you CAN use this same adapter on the 360's red and white audio outputs, with a piar of amplified headphones.

Composite cables have 3 RCA jacks: yellow, red and white.
Component cables have 6 RCA jacks: red, blue, green, yellow, red and white.

Use the red and white (audio outputs) for the adapter.

Personally I got one of these:
http://www.overstock.com/Books-Movies-Mu...r:referralID=NA
to get the optical connection with HDMI, then I bought these:
http://www.amazon.com/Force-Wireless-Dig...0/dp/B002KSPKRS
and WOW, I never regretted a single penny I spent. The headphones are just wonderful, and not only makes late night gaming at full volume a possibility, I actually prefer the sound quality of them over my full surround sound. Gaming and movies are both enhanced because you hear fine details but it's especially apparent in first person shooters because you hear the slightest footstep behind you and 180 headshot em :)

Yes the red and white are audio. You will need to use the non-hdmi cable though.
