A:Answer1) Yes.
2) The cord comes in two pieces and yes, one of the connectors is an audio jack. The headphones end in an audio jack that plugs into a control box where you can control the volume and surround sound, and the control box's cord then ends in a USB connection.
A:AnswerThe one i received was brand new. Packaging was all sealed and shipped really quick. Usually the refurbished ones are discounted and have to clearly label they are refurbished. Great headset though. Dont hesitate to purchase.
A:AnswerYes it’s detachable. Has a usb attachment which allows you to adjust the value and use the special surround sound. The headphone attach to that
A:AnswerThe surround sound does not work (feature was not built for Xbox) and the mix amp (controls game/party volume) is not compatible with Xbox which is not articulated in the description. I ultimately returned mine just yesterday due to this. The headset itself works for sound and the mic is good for xbox but if you want the most for your money (which this headset is expensive so you should), I would not recommend for xbox.
A:AnswerI have had zero issues with what you mention. Its very clear and people are able to hear me perfectly. And I can hear them perfectly also, I've also never had any problems with cutting out. I've had turtle beaches and a few other decent brands, these are my favorite and the best I've had so far.
A:AnswerYes if he is into this stuff he'll figure it out it will work on anything with a 3.5mm jack just like most phones support to plug in a car most recent Xbox one controllers and PS4 controllers have a 3.5mm jack plug in
