I bought a Turtle Beach XL1 headset earlier today and i was going to connect them to my computer via the PC/PS3 adapter that you can by for it. After I bought them, I realized the one chart that I looked at has the wrong info. The PC/PS3 adapter is only compatible for certain headsets and mine is not one of them.

So my question is, the XL1s may not be compatible, but can they still be used with this adapter?

Would this jack work to connect it to my computer for recording?

I'm not sure this is really on-topic here. It's more a general hardware issue than a gaming one. – Jeff Mercado Dec 17 '11 at 2:27

No, unfortunately not. The PC/PS3 compatible ones usually work by transmitting audio data via the USB connection. You'd likely be able to get it to work for hearing things, with the proper audio adapters, but not for working with the headset's mic.

That's crap! I want my money back now! The chart clearly said I could use the adapter for the headset, when I really couldn't... Urg – Jonny B Dec 17 '11 at 16:10
Return policies for hardware are generally pretty lenient compared to software - especially this time of year due to the abundance of gift giving. – agent86♦ Dec 17 '11 at 16:43
I already opened the packaging (It was in a plastic case so i had to cut part of that off), and as much as I could , IN CASE something did happen. does that mean I could return it? – Jonny B Dec 17 '11 at 20:21
