Slim & Turtle Beach Headphones

    Hooking up my new slim today and realised the AV/Component port blocks off the HDMI port when plugged in, as the new AV cable has an annoying chunk of plastic sticking out. So I couldn't have my HDMI and AV/Component in at the same time to use my Turtle Beach PX21. I had to take off the casing off the component and HDMI cable to fit them both in at the same time. Pretty annoying seen as these headphones are fairly popular and a big part of gaming nowadays.
    Also, it isn't as whisper quiet as I was expecting - when running a disc the fan kicks in and makes a fair bit of noise. I installed the game and its silent now but I wasn't expecting to have to do that since they plastered "Whisper Quiet" all over it.
    Anyone else experience this or use a set of Turtle Beach with it?

    You should be able to plug your optical cable directly into the xbox now. I believe that's one of the new features.

    Can't comment on the noise level.

    Cheers I got it sorted. I was so used to plugging in the component cables and then plugging the PX21's red/white to the audio out that I forgot I don't need to do this with HDMI!
    Thanks though and on the noise part, once I install the game its absolutely whisper quiet but if I put in a game thats not installed its fairly noisy.

    Im thinking of getting a pair of x41s, Does anyone know if the interference from wifi is bad? As i have my laptop right beside my xbox when i play (use it as wireless receiver) and there is usually a laptop in the room even when im using a wired connection....

    Cheers

    My x41 base station is a couple of feet away from my wifi router and I have no issues with interference.
