Xbox 360 headset - Thunderbolt General

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good low priced headset for the 360. Or if you know one that works for the PS3 and 360 that would be good.

I don't know if the 360 uses Bluetooth but any Bluetooth headset will work with a ps3.

I have heard that blue ant makes some really good headsets but I've always heard turtle beach makes the best.

Yeah that's what I've heard about turtle Beach too, I've never heard of blue ant before though. Do you know about the Tritton AX120 they're on sale at newegg for $30.

Turtle beaches. I think I have the x 12's,but I'm not sure.
Make sure you youtube the video on how to use them simultaneously with hdmi output. You have to use the composite cable that came with your xbox, and you need to pop off the plastic housing on the xbox end with a butter knife to get it all to fit. This way you dont have to spend any extra $$ on various cables.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

Not saying Amazon reviews are the most legit, but the X12's have better reviews than the AX120's. I've never bought from the site that I linked by the way, I just saw them there for cheap. And like someone already mentioned, you have to use the composite cable that came with the XBox if you use HDMI. If you don't use HDMI, don't worry about anything. If you do, you need to cut off the plastic "flap." I just used a knife, took my time, and cut it off. Now I can plug in the composite and HDMI at the same time.
Once you use a decent set of headphones, you'll never want to use the stock headset again.

Yeah, after I saw the sale for the trittons I saw people saying they weren't any good. I might just go with a cheap pair of turtle beach for now. Thinking about just getting the turtle beach communicator it's only $25 but it's just for chat.

I ended up ordering some refurbished p11's, I gonna try and get then to work with the Xbox. Worst case scenario, I bought a decent headset for my ps3.

Mountek car mount

I know there's a thread on the EVO forum but not everyone checks that forum so:
Myself and a friend both bought a Mountek car mount. It works great for me. It mounts into the CD slot of my '06 Frontier and remains very stable.
Worth a look if you don't like suction cup mounts (they never work for me because the phone ends up too far away from me and shaky).
http://www.mountek.com/servlet/StoreFront
Went to Amazon and ordered one on the spot, as this look perfect for my needs. Thanks for the suggestion!
Just came from evo, have had this for a while. Still works great

Great buy
I had this for my Droid X. I really love this thing! I never listen to radio and use the aux out to plug the phone into my car's stereo keeping the phone out of the windshield and closer to me has been great. This is definitely worth the $20!
So for those of you with this, what are your thoughts? Is this mount worth the price?

And I was correct, it fits the Inspire perfectly and does not hit the volume buttons, which was my primary concern. Overall I would highly recommend this mount.

They probably are no different at all. This one looks like it would fit down to an iPhone, and up to almost a Streak.

I've been using this mount for about couple of months and it is the best I've used.
- Resonable price - Got it on eBay for $17 from Mountek
- Doesn't shake like other dash or vent mounts.
- Easy to reach. No brainer really: Audio controls are usually located in the most user-friendly area in the center console.
- Portable. Used it on a rental car on a recent vacation and it worked great.
- No tape or suction cup marks on the dash/windshield.
Got mine this morning. Seems really solid. Will give a test run on way to work tonight.

[Q] Best micro HDMI cords?

HI guys im wondering where can i find the best hdmi cords for my G2X phonw. I recently ordered one in amazon and arrived today but wasnt the same connection to my phone :/. Im pretty pissed off since was up for it, so now im posting this thread to see if any one can direct me to some good hmdi cords of the G2X? thank u for ure help.
i orderd an iogear cable from newegg it was like 12 buck free shipping. Works perfect. sorry cant post links yet
I got a 6' cable for $3 after shipping from Amazon. I should get mine in a couple days. It said it was for G2x; I hope it fits my phone!
whatever you do, stay away from the monoprice cables.. There are multiple posts about their cables frying the phone.
To input my two cents, don't buy a cable that reads gold plated or anything of the like. Off the top of my head I can think of Monster Cables. I don't know about MicroHDMI and Monster Cables.
Why? Well, digital cables only need to pass 1s and 0s (i.e. binary). Back in the day with analog cables, the wires used in cables really were effective. Nowadays, simple silver will get the job done the same as gold-plated / gold-tipped / dipped-in-gold cables.
I have a 3 part response to the post above.
1. Used to work at Circuit City, and we were, pretty much told to push cables, and that type of accessory. Why? Because the cost on say a 4" RCA Video cable was $7 when they would sell them to customers for $70. Yup. I purchase a $70 dollar Top of the Line Monster Cable Video only RCA cable back in the day for $7 bones. Cables are a big business.
2.Plenty of people, I know that work at electronic stores, say that when purchasing a HDMI cable, you don't need to spend anything more than $20 bux.
As long as its under 14'.
3.Silver is actually a better conductor of electricity than gold. I don't know how much better, it actually is. The reason they don't use Silver for plating cables and such, is becuase it oxidizes. Gold doesn't.
I order all my cables from monoprice.com

In what way did it not fit? Micro HDMI is Micro HDMI there is not varying versions its all the same size. Now if you are saying the surrounding rubber wouldn't allow you to plug it into the socket I can understand but the actual socket is all the same.

FlyGrip Code

Hey guys, I just ordered a Flygrip for my Epic and I'm pretty excited for it getting here after I've seen what it does. You can also use it for a kickstand if you want to play your games with something like the PS3 controller and the sixaxis app. I just thought I'd share with everyone that if you purchase one, type in IDIOT for the discount code, you'll save $3.99 and get free shipping. It's already pretty pricey at $30 but why not save a couple bucks? Let me know how it works.

Turning my Skyrocket into kind of a GoogleTV

Now that I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I'm thinking of turning my Skyrocket into a google TV. I have the MHL/HDMI cable, which I ordered from ebay. The picture on the phone is mirrored to the TV.
Yesterday I tried playing a Netflix video (using the official netflix app) from the phone onto the TV. But it was very pixelated. When I did the same thing from a laptop using the HDMI out the picture quality was aaaaa lot better.
Anybody else know why this might be?
Has anybody else used or using their skyrocket as their entertainment hub? How is it working out for you?
Since the skyrocket only has 480p netflix only sends that down. So that 480p is stretched across your tv it doesnt look good.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
A suggestion:
You'll be much better off by selling your Skyrocket and buying one of the Android TV sticks. They go dirt cheap, even the dual-core ones, and you'll get decent performance, full HD, tablet interface, and if you pick carefully - even Linux can be booted on it. And you'll stay with extra $$$ in your pocket.
Or you could buy a Google TV just saying lol.
