Can Xbox Wireless Headset output stereo audio and use the mic at the same time?

Hi, in order to set the headset audio same as the stereo of the tv you need to change how the xbox handle the audio output, you can follow the below steps:

- open "settings" in your xbox one

- open the "Display and sound" tab (fifth from the top)

- open "audio output"

- on the top of the second column you can change your "headset format" and what you want is the option "stereo"

im deaf myself but i use a stereo headset to watch TV. if the game audio is streamed THROUGH the TV and the audio equipment is hooked up to TV itself NOT the Xbox then the headeset should work. only approved devices will link with the Xbox itself like Turtle
Beach headsets etc.

my stereo wireless headset is hooked to TV output and my Xbox is hooked to the TV input. game audio works fine for me

Perfect clarity. Thanks for your answer Dom.

Hello Exactchangeonly,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

As of writing, the Xbox Wireless Headset is not capable of adequately outputting stereo audio while simultaneously using your microphone via Bluetooth due to technical limitations. In order to use both at the same time, we recommend connecting via USB or the Xbox Wireless Adapter.

Let us know if we were able to provide you with clarity regarding the issue.

Thank you,

I'm talking about plugging in any stereo headset (like earplugs) to listen to all game audio instead of outputting it through your TV. The Wii U does this with their GamePad (you can play in off TV mode and listen to the audio). The sound quality is awesome.
I've heard the PS4 will let you plug in a stereo headset and output all game audio (sounds, music) to the headset in 2.1 sound. Will the Xbox One allow the same thing?
