Is the mic jack on the new style controller too shallow for the mic that comes in the new ...

I picked up the Forza bundle a short while ago and been playing just fine with the controller. Last night I opened the mic that was included in the forza bundle and when I tried to plug it into the controller, it wouldn't go all the way in. Almost like
the port on the controller is too shallow. I tried other 3.5mm connectors that I had laying around and both of those stuck out one notch from the controller as well and wouldn't work. I know there should be some resistance in a mic jack to keep it connected,
but I feel like I'm pushing hard enough and it isn't going any further in. I was actually trying to play with a friend who just picked up a new/different xb1 bundle with the new style controller, just not the forza one, and he had the exact same problem.
Any recommendations that doesn't involve buying a 3rd party headset or buying the adapter to get 'what came in the box' to work?

Plugging Microphone Into Controller?

I want to plug just a microphone into the XB1 controller. I have both the old style and new style controllers. With the new one, when I plug it in to the 3.5mm jack, the mic is not working. Should it be possible to plug a mic only into it or does it have to be headset?

 

Headset is not working

So not long ago i bought a new controller and headset and for a while it worked but then all of a sudden it just stopped working and i had to hold the mic in certain spots in the jack for it to work , then one day it just totally disconnected no matter what
i did. When i plug the mic in it doesnt recognize that it is plugged it and there is a dashed line over the mic in the left connor on the hime screen. Ive tryed numerous things , is my jack in the controller dodgey or brocken? Any suggestions or do i need
a new mic completely or controller.

Help would be appreciated

Thanks
