Anyway to use my beats solo 2 as a headset and mic?

Do the Beats Solo HD's work with the XBox Stereo Adapter?

@Aox Chap - what did you have to do in order to get your studios to work? I just received my adapter a couple of days ago, and while it works perfectly (no static, no sound drop offs etc) with my Sony Pulse Elite headsets, I can not use the mic to send
chat audio on the Beats Solo HD's.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

A friend and I have had issues trying to use the beats headsets on Xbox and I don't know if it's because it's an apple device but the mic has never worked. It was easier just getting a gaming headset for chat and then using the beats for solo mode.

I know this wasn't the answer you were expecting but I don't believe there's a setting to weak on this one because I had tried all of them

I just ordered a

-Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

-FC23 Replacement (Black) iSoniTalk Cable Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Solo HD

so I can use my SOLO HD Beats as a headset. I've read a lot about them and it seems to work if you replace the beats audio wire with the FC23 wire and plug it into the Adapter. I am going to try it out and I will reply once I find out for sure.

Hope this Works!

Heya!

This could be caused by a couple things but first let's check the mic volume:

• Press the Guide button on your controller.
• Go to Settings.
• Select Preferences.
• Select Voice.
• Increase the volume to 10.

If this does not seem to assist let's have you test that mic on another controller and test another mic with those controllers.

Are you using a mic adapter or just a standard mic and which version of the console are you on?

Post back and let us know how that goes!

I’m not seeing how to get to “volume” on preferences

Could you send us your mic make and model and a photo of what you do see in the setting screen?

this is a picture of my settings

this is a picture of the microphone I connect to my beats(which was working perfectly fine)

Unfortunately, is looks like those pictures did not post properly, but to be sure are you using Beats Headphones?

These may not be the best option for a headset with the console as they are not designed for this kind of use.

You can try the
Compatibility guide to be sure, but if this does help get that working we suggest trying another headset to be sure the issue is not with the controller or console.

If another headset does not exhibit the same symptoms then the issue is the Beats and we suggest using another type of headset for the console.

the beats worked fine for a week, after that both of my headsets stopped working, not sure why

Yes and no. Beats was bought by Apple sometime ago. And Apple/Beats use a different wiring standard (OMTP). The Xbox controller uses the standard that Android phones use (CTIA).

What that means is that the mic and ground wire are flipped. So when you plug in your beats headset into the controller you will be able to hear others but your mic won't work or it will just make noise.

You would need to get an OMTP to CTIA adapter.
