A:AnswerYes, it comes with 2 cables. 1 connecting directly to the headset, 2nd cable is to help split the audio/mic if your PC has those separate ports. If your PC has those separate ports, you will need to utilize both cables.
A:AnswerNo charger required. They are not amplified like some wired headsets. *cough*recon 700 *cough*. This was a major selling point for me when I returned a previous pair that needed to be charged even though they were wired.
A:AnswerI game online and I use the wired one. While the Bluetooth offers the convenience it doesn’t make much difference to me. One thing to think about is delay between headset and controller and controller to Xbox. If you have a wire then it’s pretty much direct.
A:AnswerYour Xbox controller needs a 3.5mm jack (I think all the new ones have it).
Yes, you can hear the game and hear people talk and talk into the mic. Make sure your Xbox settings are adjusted so the party chat goes through your headset instead of just your TV.
A:AnswerIt has a flexible boom that retracts into the one speaker. Pull it out to use the mic, has mute button on headset when not in use. Push the boom back in and goes almost flush with headset.
A:Answerit does have only one chord coming out to connect to xbox/playstation controllers. but it comes with an extension for PC users that splits into 2 inputs. one for the audio coming through to you, and one for the microphone on the headset. the extension will not be needed for use on console.
A:AnswerMake sure it is selected under the recording tab in the sound menu. If you have a webcam or other device with a mic, it could select the wrong one. I would disable any other mic to be safe.
Now, there is also a chance that the mic is busted. Mine broke after 6 months. It just randomly stopped working. If the mic is selected as your default device and it still isn't working, you might as well contact SteelSeries.
