    Headset advice


    My kids have 4 wireless Xbox one controllers. We have 2 Turtle Beach X50 chat headsets and today I have also bought a Stealth SX-02 headset. The Turtle Beach ones worked initially but now do not work with any controllers (they do work when plugged into another
    device such as an iPad). The brand new Stealth headset does not work. Why do the headsets not work with any of the 4 controllers? Are we missing something in the settings? Please help! The controllers have new batteries

    :)

    Headset Opinions?

    Hey guys,

    Just looking for some headset advice. Im using the $100 MS headset, and need an upgrade. Money really isn't a concern. I would prefer to not spend $500 though.. Any advice is appreciated.

    Headset Advice

    Hoping for a bit of help from you audiophiles out there.

    First off, I've owned Turtle Beach X42's for the last 11 months. Due to a high pitched screech via voice chat, I've decided to return them as there's only a few days left on the warranty. I loved the headset and I'm really considering a replacement set.

    Then I came across the XP400's and the Tritton Warhead 7.1. I'm torn between the 3. The reason I've narrowed it down to these three in particular is because they all operate on 5.8ghz as opposed to 2.4ghz which is a must for me due to baby monitors, mobile
    phones and wireless routers and laptops.

    I'm sketchy with the non-replaceable battery in the XP400's though it would be nice to not have to buy AAA batteries for the X42's anymore. I've no experience with Tritton, a little put off that they're Madcatz but perhaps they've improved since 15 years ago
    when they were considered a cheap third party brand.

    If anyone has any experience with these headsets I'd really appreciate your feedback.

    Many thanks!

    I have considered the A50 but as you say the lack of X1 support is disappointing. This is partially the reason I'm drawn to the XP400 and the X42 as there is a current promotion for a free X1 adapter. Cheers for post Busta.

    Headset advice.

    I own the 500X and i'm really satisfied with the sound quality and the direction of the sound so to say. the only bad thing though is that i have already broken 1 set of 500x. It cracked in the plastic above your ear, hard to explain but i got a new set
    from the store on warranty. but if was in your shoes i would wait a bit for the 800x that should be here in EU in any week now. better designed and full BT compability to your phone.

    I went with the Astra A50 and haven't looked back.. Best wireless headset I have owned, though the lac of mic chat support with the Xbox one kinda sucks.

    The A50 has really good wireless, and sound quality is brilliant. I had the Turtle beach and there was always static and high pitched screeching. The only negative is like i said, lack of support for XB1 voice chat.

    Advice for purchasing headset?

    Hi

    Even if your controller does have a 3.5mm audio jack I would personally still recommending getting a headset that includes the adapter or purchasing a second headset adapter as this gives you the ability to adjust the headset volume and mute the microphone
    very easily and I think the headset adapter is worth it for this convenience.

    Advice for purchasing headset?

    Hi Megh,

    Thank you for taking the time to post on the forums today. I'd be happy to help.

    That statement is true but it's easy to tell whether the controller is the old model or the ones being produced today. The main difference is the newer controllers have a 3.5 mm input for audio jacks, widening the amount of headsets that can be compatible
    without needing the adapter.

    My best advice however is to still look for a headset that comes with an adapter as the 3.5 mm inputs on the controllers experience more technical issues.

    The official Xbox Stereo headset comes with an adapter but some third party headset manufacturers make headsets for Xbox One that have their own version of the adapters **** into the same port. Some examples are Astro, Turtle Beach, Plantronics, etc.

    Here are some resources:


    I hope this helps!
