I have a pair of regular earbud headphones with a mic attached and I found an adapter for an Xbox controller, but the adapter has 2 jacks. I was wondering if the headphones will work with the audio and mic if I just put it in one of the jacks. Also if you know of an adapter that has one jack.

Thanks

Probably not. As headphones with an in line mic have only on cable usually, and if the adapter has 2 jacks it was built for head sets with dedicated 3.5mm plugs. And since yours doesn't you would only get sound through your ear buds, and not be able to talk.

the best way to know is to plug it in and try it. I have had some that did work and others that didn't. And if it doesn't you can check out gamestop, a lot of times they will have used xbox headsets for around $7. Hope this helps
