Can I use a standard pair of headphones with a y splitter.

SWANSEA ClTY FC · Nov 1, 2015

I have a set of headphones which have a 3.5mm jack for audio and a separate 3.5mm jack for the mic. I have the latest xbox one controller with the 3.5mm jack. Can I simply just buy a y splitter for this to work. I understand the y splitter may need to be

Microsoft really screwed up, Again

Why not just use a pair of headphones for audio and use Kinect for a microphone?

Surely a good quality pair of headphones will give you a much better audio experience than a pair of Turtlebeach, and probably be cheaper too.

Adapter to plug 3mm Jack into controller

Basically I thought about using my beats headphones to hear better. But it's not a standard 3mm Jack slot.

So wondered if you could buy an adapter to plug in the controller to plug my headphones in.

So went into maplins tonight and the lad in there was less than useless.

I don't use a mic so don't see the point buying a new headset when I got a spare pair of headphones.

Sure can, I do and it works great. Like you mentioned, it needs to be a splitter that supports a mic, so look for the 3 "bands" on the aux jack. See picture (botton drawing) for example

If your headset has two separate headphone jacks one for audio and one for Mic try this y splitter, I got mine off of Amazon.

Yes, both controllers fully updated.

Mic is at2020usb+, headphones are the apple earbuds, phone is the Nexus 5.

I'm using the audio out port on the mic and connecting that to the mic port of the splitter, and the headphones to the headphones port of the splitter, and the combo port to the controllers.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to know if mic set up will work.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Yes, if your controller has an adapter with a splitter designed for a 3.5mm headset with a microphone, then you can use a standard 3.5mm microphone with it.

It is the splitter will separate the audio signal to send both the microphone input and headphone output to the controller.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a great day!
