What is this composite to headphone Xbox cable for?
I found an Xbox cable in my cable drawer that has the red, yellow, and white composite plug on one end and a headphone jack on the other end.
What is it used for? I don't actually own an Xbox myself so I imagine it came from a garage sale or something a while back.
Something like this:
Found the answer, it's an Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable, only for the Xbox 360 E

This is not an Xbox 360 cable.
The Xbox 360 uses a proprietary "multi-AV" connector so you need special cables for Composite or Component video cables. Otherwise it has a HDMI and TOSLINK port. That's it. It doesn't have AV ports, nor does it have a headphone jack.
It MIGHT belong to some sort of headset which had a pass-thru for the video cable (yellow) and then converted the audio (red/white) to a standard stereo headphone plug that connected to the headset, but just by itself, the cable is useless and certainly not something you'll find standard with the Xbox 360.
