Sennheiser X320 - How To Set Up for the XBOX ONE

Didn't see anything online about this so thought I would do a quick post on how to set up the Senneiser X320s for the XBOX ONE

1. First get and XBOX ONE "Stereo Headset Adapter" and update your controllers based on the instructions
   
2. Plug in the USB cable from the X320 to the left side port on the XBOX ONE
3. Attach the chat cable from the X320 to the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter cable and then plug that into the stereo headset adapter. The cable comes with the adapter.
   
4. Put the game volume (green wheel) to zero. It is not used. You can detach the RCA cables at the end of the cord that are attached to the USB input as well.
   
5. Put the chat volume (grey wheel) to max. All sound comes through the chat cable.
   
6. Adjust the level of chat to game voume on the stereo headset adapter. You can also control the master volume with the "+" and "-" buttons.
   

My assumption is the sound comes out of the stereo adapter in "stereo" (duh). If you want surround sound then you could probably get it though an optical (toslink) to RCA adapter and then plug in the RCA cables from the X320s and manage the sound output
with the sound wheels. This would be similar to the XBox 360 settings. Also if you do have a sound output from your TV the RCA cables should work. It's probably redundant though.

I have an optical to RCA adapter coming so I'll see what I can find out with that and surround sound. So far I'm happy with the stereo output.

Turtle Beach Headset (Xbox One). Need Advice??

Return those X12's. They aren't any good. If you want an amazing cheap headset, get the Sennheiser X320.

 

Sennheiser X320 Headset. HELP!

Ok, so I bought this headset for myself on sale and thought it would be a nice way for me to play games at night with the sound on for me, while not disturbing anyone who is sleeping. My question is, can this headset be set up in a way which stops sound
coming from the TV but still comes through the headset? Also, if anyone could tell me how to set this up properly using an HDMI cable, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance guys!

 

I'm thinking of buying these and an adapter for my Xbox one. Is it worth it? What is the functionality of this headset like on the Xbox one, and also are they comfortable when using for long gaming sessions. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,

I love my X320's, got for £20 brand new and perfect for 360.

But now have the ONE.

I am slightly a tad dumb lol, could i ask can you show photo's on how to get mine working on my one or simply which cable is the CHAT cable.

I have made my own 2.5 adapter connected to original wires of original headset as i don't warrant £25 for an adapter when i bought a one, creedy MS

Thank you kindly

 

Bought an adapter yesterday and all is working well.

Game/Chat sound nicely balanced but nice option to change either, also mic no faults.

Bought another set of these headphones for £19 just today as they are really good quality and trying tritton's, turtle overpriced one's, the sennheiser produce a very nice crisp clear sound.

Had mine nearly 2 year now bought originally for £20 and never failed.

Best wishes

 

Great price for Sennheiser quality. Not as good as their open back cans however this headset is a steal at the price and is about 10 steps above comparable Turtle Beach products. Especially considering the universal version (U320) is so much more expensive.

Hopefully one day they make a console version of something comparable to their G4ME ONE with 7.1 Dolby Headphone Surround but until then, I just use my Sennheiser HD598's and Astro Mixamp.
