    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    Here are a few steps you can take to prevent others from connecting to your Xbox headset:

    Change the default password: If you haven't already, change the default password for your Xbox headset. This will prevent anyone from being able to connect to it without your permission.

    Adjust the settings on your Xbox: You can adjust the settings on your Xbox to ensure that only authorized devices are able to connect to your headset. Go to Settings > Devices & Accessories > Xbox Wireless Controller > Volume > Headset Audio, and make sure that "Headset mic" is set to "On."

    Use a wired headset: If you're using a wireless headset, consider switching to a wired headset. This will make it much more difficult for someone to connect to your headset without your permission.

    Move your Xbox to a different location: If all else fails, consider moving your Xbox to a different location where your neighbor won't be able to interfere with your headset.

    Xbox One X - Headset Audio Issues via Controller

    Hello PaulB_0612, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your headset.

    As much as I know you don't want to hear this I do believe the issue is with the controller itself as your other one works fine. Even though you can still hear yourself in the headset when testing and the system hears your voice the 3.5 mm jack could still be loose but with just barely enough of a connection to give a false test with the sound. This is proven by the fact the other controller is working fine with the headset.

    To prevent the other controller from eventually doing the same thing I would recommend either getting an Xbox Headset Adapter for your controller or upgrade to a compatible wireless headset.

    How to stop the Xbox headset turning on the console

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    Unfortunately the only to prevent that would be unplugging your Xbox console from the power source. The headset uses the Microsoft's proprietary wireless connection, which is the same as the Xbox controller and it automatically powers on the console.

    Xbox Wireless Headset detected as Speakers in Window 11 when connected via bluetooth

    Hi Kathy,

    Yes, I can confirm I was updating the headset through the Xbox Accessories App.

    Winver shows it's Windows 11 22H2 (22621.674).

    As for other headsets - this is my only BT headset, others (with jack connection) are properly shown as headphones.
