Technical Microphone adapter questions!!! Dedicated mic and headphones!

McMunchiez · Oct 4, 2014

Okay so, I have a question regarding the headset adapter for the Xbox one controller. I picked it up, and see that there is a standard 4 stage 3.5mm headphone jack (headphones and mic in one 3.5mm jack). I have a quite expensive blue bird xlr mic, as well
as a pre-amp that can output to 3.5mm. So the question is, if I get a 3.5mm 4 stage splitter that will split the mic and the headphones into two 3 stage 3.5mm female inputs, will I be able to have my studio quality mic and dedicated headphones connected to
my controller, working?

Sorry for the complicated question! Hopefully it works, because a studio quality mic would be amazing! I figure it would since its a standard 3.5mm input

:)

Adapter to add a microphone to standard headphones?

I have a number of high quality headphones, so I would rather no spend money on dedicated gaming headphones just because I need a mic. Does anyone know if a microphone/adapter that attaches inline to any headphone is available that works with the new Xbox
One controller? I am looking for something that standard headphones plug into, that contains a microphone, then that microphone connects to the Xbox One controller. Something like

this, but has a port that my headphones can plug into.

Jabra Revo headphone mic doesn't work for Titanfall chat?

Nope, I have found that the adapter won't work with this type of in-line mic. If you want to use those headphones with a mic, go here: v-moda.com/boompro-microphone. I bought this for my Beats studio and the mic works. It's another $30 but the quality
of the mic and cable are worth it in my opinion.

Yeah they make them since a lot of newer Laptops to save space have a single TRRS jack instead of the speaker and mic. Makes it so you can use most PC headsets that have a two lead setup.

Just a quick search and this popped up.
3.5mm 4 Position to 2x 3 Position 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - M/F if you look around I think you can find the same thing cheaper somewhere.

You would need a CTIA adapter that splits the controller plug into a headset component and the Microphone component. Something

like this for example.

Then plug any stand up mic of your choice into the 3.5mm microphone plug.

If you want a professional microphone with XLR plug, you would need an
XLR to 3.5mm adapter.

A good audio microphone with 3.5mm jack would be the
Rode Video Mic Pro.

Just be aware that USB microphones do NOT work on the Xbox One.

What type of mic are you using? Kinect microphone, a stereo headset with adapter plugged into the controller, 3.5mm headphone jack headset, headset connected via optical output? With a bit more information we can help by providing better troubleshooting
information.

It has a microphone jack that connects to my controller, leading to a volume and mic on/off control. coming out the same end, is the headphone jack. I have to use the adapter that came with it so I could hear. Coming out the other end is the cable to the
headset.
