i just got a new pair of headphones for xmas [7.1 surround sound!] but they only have a usb connector. could i make some makeshift 3.5mm to femail usb by myself? or do they sell these for cheap anywhere? i couldnt find it on the net. but if i could make one that would be easier.

"I don't think it would be possible. The headphones most likely have an integrated sound card and wouldn't be possible to convert to a 3.5 jack."

sooo you might be outta luck. sorry

depends, I know the 2nd gen iPod shuffle uses a TRRP 3.5mm as it's only connection and the USB is wired through there. the headphones use a TRP 3.5 and the data connection is TRRP 3,5 to USB... but it's set up that way... if you rewired the headphones to a 3.5 then the female 3.5 would have to be wired the same way and connected to USB... probably easier to just use the USB and leave it as is...
-
Ok so when you say TRRP and TRP what does you mean. I have a female USB that I have soldered four wires to and a 4pin 3.5mm male Jack with 4 wires attached to it as
well. How do I find out the correct way to connect them. These are
logitech g35's btw thanks
-
Sorry not TRP and TRRP, I meant TRRS and TRS...
TRRS is Tip Ring Ring Sleeve, TRS is Tip Ring Sleeve. it corresponds to the parts of a 3.5 connector... Wiki Linkage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector) That will explain it much better than I will be able to without an extremely long reply...
-
So TRS would be tip as pin 1, rung as pin 2 and sleeve as
pin 3. And I connect them to the 1 2 and 3 on the USB? How do I know what is the right order
-
U realize if u mess up ud break ur G35's... They use USB because they need the 5v voltage
-
So you would recomend doing nothing?
-
I'd hate to say it, but unless u can separate the USB connector and pin point what goes where, and somehow feed an additional 5v to it. Yes i suggest doing nothing, because nothing u do will work.
G35 -> Ipod wont work because Ipods dont support 5v through headphone jack. So u would need Headphone jack --> 5v t-> g35. Even then fit might not work and u could blow ur headphones. Its honestly NOT worth it.
-
What about a cheap Dac converter
-
while taking into account that the USB headphones probably have their own soundcard, i doubt anything u do will work, DAC converter might work, however i think itll sound like crap because theres no way it has the same power as the computer..
-
if its a 7.1 headset that all works with usb, then why would u want to make it to like 6 jacks?
-
so he can connect them all together and use them with, oh lets say a mp3 player.
-
But then he would be wasting the awesomeness of 7.1... If you don't want them just return/sell them and buy something else?

id listen to this guy
-
even still the headset via usb needs power to run them speakers so one jack isnt a good idea cuz i dont know any jacks that push that much power on everyday mp3 players so that wouldnt be a viable reason. ex my 5.1 turtle beach ear force hpa2 headset uses a usb to power it which is nice over the wall plug.
like jacob said keep it or sale it.
