Connecting a Digital Music Player Connecting a DSS or DSS2 The XP300 transmitter features an auxiliary input for connecting digital music players or other analog sources so you can listen to your own music along with the game audio. The Auxiliary Input volume can be adjusted directly from the digital music player.

Using Bluetooth® The XP300 incorporates Dual Pairing Bluetooth technology that can be simultaneously paired to 2 Bluetooth enabled devices at once. This lets you communicate with Xbox LIVE™ and PSN™ chat and answer calls on a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. If you’re not using either of these Bluetooth features, you should turn off the Bluetooth to conserve battery power. The XP300 will automatically remember the last 2 paired devices upon powering on.

Chat Boost™ XP300 Headset Technical Specifications Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the XP300 headset that automatically increases chat volume during loud moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of the game volume. Typically, if you turn up a headset’s game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difficult to hear over the game sound.
