Popping/Crackling Sound From Friend's Xbox One Headset

Jammyt2 · Nov 14, 2014

For the past few days now my friend's headset microphone (the original one that comes with the console) has been making this crackling static-like sound and we don't know why. It's differently his mic, I have heard it coming through my own headset and TV.
It also stopped when he used the Kinetic to talk and not his headset. Any help with fixing this?

My Turtle Beach Ear Force DX12 headset has static white noise crackling popping sound when the mic cable is plugged into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter and the controller is plugged into the Xbox with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit at the same tim

I have a new xbox one stereo headset, and there is occasional sound glitches and subtle but noticeable popping or crackling at certain scenarios in a game. Would the problem be fixed with an eventual patch or do I have a faulty headset?

XBOX ONE Stereo Headset Static Post March patch...... Does it happen to you?

I hope the new TB Headsets have no crackling/popping

Sounds like he may have a loose wire in the headset. Please have him try a different headset. If there is no popping sound coming from his end with a different one then that would be the issue.

I too have the crackling popping sound with my headset. I've tried everything under the sun to fix this issue. Its not the headset as they sound perfect through my phone and tablet. The home menu screen sounds incredibly fuzzy distortion sound when scrolling.
I've been playing Destiny 2 and at times it's unbearable.

Just adding my name to the list of users who get the popping sounds. I just got the headset, grabbed the most recent update, and I get faintly popping crackling sounds while I play games and watch Netflix. I've been very disappointed with MS so far this
new generation. I hope they can update soon because it sounds like a software issue with the adapter and not the headset itself.

Hey all!

Sorry to see you're having headset trouble. To start things off, which other headsets have you tested and have any of them not given you the crackle you're hearing? Is it possible to test your headset on a friend's console to see if you also run into this
sound? I managed to give this a try myself and I'm unable to hear any static or crackling.
