sound on headphones

I have one of the new controllers with the 3.5 mm headphone jack plug in, and I can put my normal JVC ear buds in and hear sound, but is there anyway to adjust sound if there's no adjuster on the headphones itself?

How to use headphones only for sound

I want to be able to plug in my headphones into the audio jack on my Xbox one controller and hear sound through my headphones only, everytime i plug in my headphones into the controller the sound comes through the headphones themselves and the tv speakers,
how do i change that? Thanks

 

Where's the truly wireless Xbox One headsets?

@Roughstack

You say wires areny next gen yet virtually every wireless headset on the market is either complete garbage or is not properly designed for gaming. Companies trick you with things like Wireless, VSS, Game Specific Audio Profiles, etc, etc, etc but if you
have ever heard a real set of cans, you will see that these gaming headsets by Sony, Turtle Beach, Tritton, Astro, etc are not made for performance because they are all of a closed back design.

Don't understand what I'm talking about? The headphone company Grado explains.

There are two main kinds of over-the-ear headphones: open-back headphones and closed-back headphones. Most headphones are closed-back, meaning that the outer part of the headphone cups have a hard enclosure that fits snugly around the entire ear. Open-back
headphones do not separate your ears from the outside world. Designed so sound is able to resonate from the rear of the speaker diaphragm, the unique design of open-back headphones reduces distortion and sound coloration that is often associated with closed-back
headphone sets. Open-back headphones are able to not only produce a wider soundstage, they also deliver a more transparent sound.

Why Open Back Headphones are the Best Choice

Closed-back headphones make music sound like it is coming from inside your head. Open-back headphones allow sound to pass through the back of the ear piece, creating an open, accurate and natural sound. This soundstage seems wider and has more presence.
That extra air flow is able reduce the effect of sound "bouncing around" inside closed back headphones - creating a more natural and realistic listening experience, while also increasing the accuracy of the audio.

Not only does the added airflow increase the sound quality produced by open back headphones, the design also provides more comfort for the listener than the box-like experience of closed back headphones, which can get hot and even sweaty.

Due to the accuracy of the sound created and the experience provided to listeners, open-back headphones are the first choice amongst musicians, professional audio engineers, as well as avid video game players. The accurate, real-life sound created by open
back headphones allow gamers to better judge the position of an off-screen sound source. They allow sound engineers to accurately mix and master music and they provide musicians with a wider sound stage and a more transparent sound.

 

The only way to adjust the sound without any adjuster within the headphones itself is to change the sound mix by going into the settings itself within the Xbox One dashboard.
