How to charge your Xbox Wireless Headset

You should charge your wireless headset overnight before you start using it for the first time. You can charge your wireless headset using a USB charging cable or an AC power adapter.

To charge with a USB charging cable, connect one end of the headset charging cable to your wireless headset and plug the other end into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console. You have to turn on your console to charge the headset.

To charge with an AC power adapter, plug it into an electrical outlet and connect the other end to the wireless headset.

Note: When you connect the AC power adapter with your headset, the connection (if any) between the headset and console will be interrupted.

At the time of charging, the lights on your wireless headset flash one at a time, and then turn off. But when the headset is fully charged, all four lights blink together.

The headset beeps when the battery is low.

• If your headset beeps two times, it means that 30 minutes of battery life remains.
• If it beeps three times, 5 minutes of battery life remains.

 

I have the Turtle Beach X42. You can use it on Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 (need a chat adaptor from Microsoft/Xbox for Xbox 1). It has a dual band 2.4/5Ghz wireless transmitter which you plug into the optical port. Since it uses 5Ghz tech, it illuminates interference
from other common 2.4Ghz technology such as home networks and computers using the networks, many of them are connected to a 2.4Ghz frequency. It has Dolby game sound and can use to chat. Great for using late at night if you don't want to disturb your family/neighbours
through your HDTV's speakers.

I use the Kinect to voice chat on Xbox 1 though.

 

Could go for the official
Xbox One Stereo Headset. I've seen it on sale for $50 different places over the last month. Another option is you can get the headset adapter and any 3.5mm headset or earbuds designed for a cell phone that uses the CTIA plug standard and you will
get game and chat audio right through the controller.

 

turtle beach XO 7's - wireless to Xbox and work perfectly

 

smileskybird, you better be right about the X42; I just re-puchased a new chat cord for the headset to see if that'll fix my issues using it with the chat adapter. If it doesn't, then you just cost me $15...

 

I use the Xbox One Stereo Headset as well. In fact, I just got mine back from repair today. It's pretty awesome when it's working properly.

 

Good Saturday morning yall. @ geek that was what D smith an authorized Xbox retailer in NZ and Australia said. The X42's work on Xbox 1 game sound wise but they said I needed a chat adaptor from Microsoft for Xbox 1.

I use the Kinect to voice chat. But it's better to have the game sound coming thru the headset rather than through your HDTV's speakers especially playing late at night.

 

I only listed the first letter D of the name of the retailer. The remaining 3 letters would have come up as censored. Australians and NZ'rs would know what retailer I'm talking about. I don't really want to waste money on another headset when I already have
one which will work on 360 and 1.

 

I got my old tb px5 headset which will work on xbox one (according to the tb website) all i need to buy is the adapter there a great headset,i really like the sound they produce and you can now pick up a set cheap secondhand.

mine only cost me £30 used,they also work on my ps4 so im a happy chappy lol

 

You're not instilling me with confidence, smileskybird... You've just explained to me exactly what I've been doing and have been trying to do. My issue is that despite the fact that the TB website states, "Please note that you
will need the Xbox One Headset Adapter from Microsoft to get game audio and chat or connect this headset you will need to connect this headset using optical out (S/PDIF) for game audio and use the Kinect® for game chat with Xbox One" which is confusing
in and of itself (seriously, please translate that for me guys), I cannot for the life of me hear anyone else talk while using the TB X42 with the Xbox One Stereo headset adapter. The game audio comes through fine, but for some reason I can't hear anybody
else - I just don't understand it! Is it compatible? Is it not? Is something I'm using broken of dysfunctional? In regards to the latter, I've tried 2 separate XB1 stereo headset adapters, an additional 3-ringed 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male extension cable,
and am now awaiting a new chat cable for my headset in case that was malfunctioning. I'm about to give up and chalk this up as a complete waste of time and money. Seriously, nowhere online have I been able to get a clear cut, "yes this works" or "no this does
not work."
