Controller disconnects and headset crackles

And when it connects my headset makes crackling noises and reconnects and my controller just disconnects and reconnects

There isn't a router between my controller and console and I don't think neighbours' routers' would cause interference if that's what you're getting at since my router is closest anyway.

I'm really confused. I was using a Turtle beach audio controller with my headset. I unplugged that and plugged the headset directly to the controller and that seemed to lessen the popping. So does interference cause popping and crackling? When I move my
controller really far away from my console, my headset starts to crackle before disconnecting so you could be right.

It's not a cable issue because people with the new xbox one headsets from Polk, etc are having the same issues and they just use a direct 3.5mm cable already.

I've had audio crackling and controller disconnects just using 3.5mm headphones as well.

Just got the XO seven. I've tried using other headsets with the adapter and it doesn't matter - crackling and popping. Restarting the controller fixes this for a minute or two, but it eventually starts crackling again. VERY frustrating.

A few questions:

.

How old are your controller and headset?

Has this been happening mainly in GTA?

If you rotate the jack, do you hear crackling/the headset reconnecting?

If you record a message, especially while you rotate the jack, do you hear the crackling when playing it back?
