My new Xbox Wireless Headset powers up my console. How to change it?

Hello,

Im ,

Please Follow These Steps : The Xbox Wireless Headset pairs with an Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console in the same manner as an Xbox Wireless Controller:

1. Be sure that both the headset and console are powered on.
   
2. Press and hold the green power button on the headset (located on the back of the left earcup) for 4 seconds. You will hear a repeated pairing tone, and the power light on the headset will start flashing.
   
3. Press the Pair button  on your console (the same button you use to pair a wireless controller with your console). The power light on the console will start flashing.
   
4. When the headset and console connect with each other, the power lights on both devices will stop flashing.
   

To connect an Xbox Wireless Headset to a Win10, Android, or iOS device using Bluetooth:

1. Be sure that the headset is powered on.
   
2. Press and hold the green power button on the headset (located on the back of the left earcup) for 4 seconds. You will hear a repeated pairing tone, and the power light on the headset will start flashing.
   
3. Go to the Bluetooth connections menu on your device and scan for available devices. The headset should appear as Xbox Wireless Headset in the available devices list.
   
4. When the headset connects with your device, the power light will stop flashing.

Troubleshoot your Xbox Wireless Headset

Here’s the strange thing none of my wired or wireless headsets work for game chat and I didn’t even change anything on my wireless headset and my software for my wireless headset is completely up to date so is my Xbox controllers as well so what else could it possibly be I’m out of possible ideas to try I’ve tried turning off and turning the console and controllers and headset off and back on again and still nothing party chats fine though and I’ve not really used my wireless headphones that much either and it doesn’t even work anymore either

Heya! Sorry to hear you are having problems.

To reassign your headset to the appropriate controller simply press the headset’s connect or power button to advance to the position that you want. For example, to change a headset assigned to position 1 to position 3, press the connect or power button twice.

Part of the problem maybe interference but you can try

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/stereo-headset-set-up-troubleshoot

and try power cycle your console. Please hold down the power button on the front of the console for approximately 15 seconds until the power light shuts off. Wait about 60 seconds, then power it back on. Be sure you see the green "XBOX ONE" animation loading
screen when you power it back up. then check the audio

Ok so I did the troubleshooter to no avail. Also, that little adapter did come with my headset that I trashed. I tried it with and without the adapter on all of my controllers (old, new and wired) and there was still popping. My new headset does not have
this adapter and instead plugs directly into the jack to the left of the controller. This creates popping with the old and new wireless controller. I currently have the headset on, hooked up to my 2-year-old wired afterglow controller and am sitting at the
title screen of Star Wars Battlefront. There isnt any popping at all (figured I'd use the loud and dramatic music as a stress test). Obviously I'm glad it works but I'd still like to know why it only happens on my wireless controllers.. also they are updated
to the current firmware version.

Xbox series s, wired, or my brand new un used wireless controller that came with the console, it doesn’t matter, and a wired steel series headset. I have not changed the setup in a couple years
