How to Connect Headphones to an Xbox
If you play your XBox where others tend to sleep, you may try to keep the audio down so as to not disturb your slumbering housemates. However, you often need to hear the audio on an XBox video game in order to understand what your task is. Consider keeping all parties happy by connecting the XBox gaming system to a set of headphones--a task so simple it requires just one additional cable connection.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to adjust the volume of the headphones, it is best to use headphones with an audio-adjustment option built in. If you do not have such a pair, you can bring up the options panel on your video game and turn the gameplay audio up or down as desired.
