    Generic 3.5mm headsets not working with Series X Controller


    I'm tearing my hair out at this problem and Microsoft's poor support so any help would be appreciated.

    I've tried 3 headsets on my Series X controller. (Two generic phone-type ones with mics and one with no mic)

    None work. The headset is recognised in the menus but no audio comes through.

    Everytime I request a call from support it says it's unavailable.

    Please help, thank you!

    :)

    Xbox series X - AUDIO - USB vs 3.5mm headphones - Quality & Latency

    I understand you about the xbox license.

    I rather not want to have a wireless headset because I dont like charging and the battery life will decrease over time. So that leave me with two options:
    1. Wired, 3.5mm into the Xbox series x controller
    2. Wired, usb, into the Xbox series X

    I checked the microsoft store and there are only 2 compatible series X headsets. Both wireles.

    Do you know any wired Xbox series X headset? That is compatible with the series x? I prefer USB but have to go 3.5mm otherwise.

    New 3.5mm jack controller is pointless!

    So after some research it appears that the hyper X cloud 2 headset doesn't work with the new controller 3.5mm port

    This headset is arguably the best vs cost headset available.

    Hello SamuliVälimäki how are you?

    My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant.

    Yes, it is possible for you to make it work, but it is a little more difficult than on the PlayStation.

    To connect the HyperX Quadcast to your Xbox Series X, you will need a few accessories. Firstly, you will need a 3.5mm male to male audio cable. Secondly, you will need a Y splitter cable that has one 3.5mm female jack and two 3.5mm male jacks. Finally, you will need an Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

    Step-by-Step Guide

    Connect one end of the 3.5mm male to male audio cable to the headphone jack of the HyperX Quadcast microphone.

    Connect the other end of the 3.5mm male to male audio cable to the female jack of the Y splitter cable.

    Connect the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to the Xbox Series X controller.

    Connect one of the male jacks of the Y splitter cable to the audio input of the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

    Connect your headset to the other male jack of the Y splitter cable.

    Turn on your Xbox Series X and the HyperX Quadcast microphone.

    Go to the audio settings of your Xbox Series X and select the audio input device as “Headset mic (HyperX Quadcast)”.

    How to use Xbox Elite Series 2 audio jack while wirelessly connected to Win 10 PC?

    Hi,

    The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.

    Yes, I believe you need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack to connect the headset to the socket in the controller for these headphones to work.
