    Do I need the Stereo Adapter if the earbud jack is 3.5mm?


    Doing some research because I want to use Earbuds for casual gaming. All signs say I need the stereo adapter for my original Xbox One controller. If the controller only supports 3.5mm and the earbuds are 3.5mm do I still need the adapter?

    The earbuds I'm looking at

    My friend has these and they work with his Xbox One S controller(Different than the normal controller, I know), and it says its compatible with all 3.5mm devices. Does that include the controller? Do I really have to drop $35 just to use earbuds to play
    and talk?

    (I plan on using the mic, too)

    :)

    How to use stereo headphones and microphone on xbox one?

    I have an elite controller with the jack. Can you be more specific? I was thinking of buying the stereo headset adapter, but would I be able to adjust the voice volume in the headset, or just in the earbuds?

    Earbuds and Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

    Any stereo headset (earbuds included) should work if they have a 4pole 3.5mm connector.

    Have you already updated your controller and Stereo Headset adapter ?

    Xbox One S 3.5mm controller - mic doesn't work

    This may be a really dumb question... But to use my headphones this way, do I need the stereo adapter? I have the "new" controller type that has the built in 3.5mm jack.

    Hello,

    It looks like you do need a chat cable (2.5mm) as well as the Xbox One Stereo Adapter (which comes with the 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable).

    If you have the newest controller (3.5mm audio jack built in), then you'll need a 2.5mm cable as well as a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable to plug it into your ASTRO A50s.

    mic not working

    if the headset has 2 jacks you will need to get a 3.5mm Stereo Splitter Audio to Mic & Headset Jack Plug Adapter that you can plug both into so you can then plug it into the controller.
