xBox 360 and multiple headphones:
Q: If 10 xbox 360's were being played at once in a large room, the sound
created by four users on each system would be maddening. How many Ear
Force x1's, x2's, and x3's can be hooked up to a single xbox 360? Can 16
x3's function simultaneously in the same room if 4 xbox 360's were linked
together system link? Could they function if 16 xbox 360's were linked
together simultaneously?
A: What you wish to achieve is pretty complicated. You cannot use any of
the wireless Headphones (X-2, X-3) because due to the nature of wireless
technology they will interfere with each other. You should be able to use
the Wired X-1. However, since the Xbox has only 3 USB ports, you would
need a USB Hub to increase the USB Ports. Also, since the Xbox has only
one audio output, you would need one splitter for each X-1.

xBox 360 and multiple Controllers:
Q: I was told the Xbox 360 supported 4 controllers. Can you tell me the
limitations of the 360? Did I miss something? I may have to rethink
this xbox 360 system entirely.
A: The issue here is that you cannot have multiple Transmitters. You can
connect the headsets onto the same Transmitter listening to the same
material.
Each controller can have an Earforce headphone connected, no problem.
HOWEVER -- The one Xbox has only a single pair of RCA audio plugs
(audio outputs). Each of our EarForce headphone sets will expect to
be connected to this pair of audio outputs. That's where the problems
come in...
Perhaps the best solution would be to purchase one EarForce headset /
Transmitter combo, and then purchase three additional headsets. All four
headsets will communicate through the Transmitter unit and the Xbox 360.
- Audio playback will come from all four headsets
- Headset mic/Live chat will be handled by the Xbox 360, from all four
headsets.
