Question: Can I use 3rd gen. base model Apple AirPods with an Xbox Series X|S? (Tuesday,...

Xbox consoles don't support Bluetooth. AirPods are Bluetooth only. They won't work on the console no matter what generation.

Oh Lord no it's not a problem with the controller

He bought a third party pack for thewrong controller the new 3rd gen controllers

Because it's a recharging plate you need a appropriate backing which older models dont have its important to.check which controller.it's.for

Especially third party battery packs

@op If it says xbox one and not series x then dont get it as they don't sell 2nd gens only anymore

3rd gens work with xbox one s and higher and have longer battery life if you get the play and charge kits and you have the new haptic feedback and share button

Most third parties will sell the new models.it's a matter of making sure you get one like I said has to say series x

All I can suggest is either get a replacement power brick or buy a old x360 cheaply to get the brick from it. Make sure you get the right power brick for your model.

I bought an old one, didn't check if it had the same power brick as mine (input plugs were different). Search online for 3rd party power brick replacement.

I couldn't be bothered and bought a new gen console.

Shop around I'm pretty sure you'll get a good deal with those that traded their XB1 S/X for a new Series gen S/X.

You can use it on a Series S/X. It will not work on any model of the One.

AirPods are an apple product so you would have to contact Apple support.
