How bout an optical port for the Xbox series s?(for new consoles being made)

There is one other item to consider. The S series 360's have a digital optical audio port but the new E series does not.

Hi,

That's how they are made. I have Astro A40's and the mixamp that goes with them the optical cord that fits into the mix amp is very tight and fits in just fine, however the back port of the Xbox 360 where the other end of the optical cord plugs in is a tad
wiggly, it shouldn't have any sort of problems at all, and it just happens simply because the cord doesn't fit all the way inside the Xbox 360's optical port.

Hello Deborah, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

It depends on the console. If he has an Xbox up to the One X then there should be an Optical Port on the back. Most sound bars will offer an optical in option for this as they offer a really good audio option for the console. If he's using the Xbox Series X or S then the Optical Port is not a feature so he would need to purchase either an Xbox compatable Wireless headset or a wired headset that can plug into his controller.

Optical audio out is not supported by Xbox Series X|S consoles. Connect your console to your TV using the provided HDMI cable, and then connect your TV to your stereo receiver or soundbar using the TV’s optical (S/PDIF) out port.

The Series S is digital download ONLY, and comes WITHOUT an optical drive, so unfortunately not. Only the Series X of next gen Xbox's will have a optical drive.
