Series X controller audio from wired headset

yes on xbox series x. with all controllers. wired headset.

For xbox one controllers and xbox series controllers

by bluetooth if your pc has this (does not support audio passthrough so no headest support via controller).

by wire (this supports audio passthough for headsets via controller)

by purchasing the xbox wireless adapter for pc (this supports audio passthough for headsets via controller)

I understand you about the xbox license.

I rather not want to have a wireless headset because I dont like charging and the battery life will decrease over time. So that leave me with two options:
1. Wired, 3.5mm into the Xbox series x controller
2. Wired, usb, into the Xbox series X

I checked the microsoft store and there are only 2 compatible series X headsets. Both wireles.

Do you know any wired Xbox series X headset? That is compatible with the series x? I prefer USB but have to go 3.5mm otherwise.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in mic on the Xbox Series X and no bluetooth support if you're thinking to go that route.



You will need to attach a headset with a mic to the Xbox Series X controller. The Xbox Series X controller uses a standard 2.5mm audio connection for Xbox Live, you can use any standard headset. (It does not have to be something fancy or expensive.)



I hope this helps. Merry Christmas to all!

Update: a workaround has been confirmed...

1. If using a wireless headset like I am most often doing, use a male-to-male microphone (aux) cable from the controller to either audio in on your computer OR to audio in on the capture device. Note: I have confirmed that both my Xbox wireless headset AND a wired headset simultaneously plugged into my controller both receive the same audio.

2. If using a wired headset, purchase an Elgato Chat Link cable (or equivalent Y-cables, etc) to achieve the same result as above, where the audio from the controller is split.

Ultimately, since game chat audio cannot currently be configured like Party Chat audio and it can only be sent by the console to the controller/headset, the audio needs to be captured from there.

Would prefer not to have a cord coming off my controller, but this is the only solution I've found so far!
