The jack of the Xbox controller

The more recent versions of the Xbox One controller have a 3.5mm jack on the bottom. Older Xbox One controllers require an adapter.

Basically if your controller has a 3.5mm jack on the bottom you are good to go, and if you're buying a new controller I think they all have the 3.5mm jack these days. It's only if you have an early controller you need the adapter.

Hi there Horito,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to take a look into some resources. If you are using an Xbox One Controller, you will need the following components:

• Xbox One headset adapter
• 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack)
• 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary cable ( 2 lines on the jack)

You will need to connect the Xbox One headset adapter to the Xbox One Controller. Then the 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack) connects into the adapter. The splitter cable will be identified as headset and mic. The 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary
cable ( 2 lines on the jack) will be used in the mic cord to the Yeti Mic.

Hope this helps.

The controller just has the 3.5mm jack the XBox One S did not come with the stero headset controller...just plugging into the 3.5mm jack worked for a few weeks right out of the box

I thought I was a 3.5mm jack. It fits perfectly into the 360 controller but the new jack on the newer Xbox One controller is too big. I would have thought that they would be the same size. Isn't the point of the new jack to allow us to use the same headset
for Xbox One that we did on 360?

Good day

You might just have a old version of the controller which doesnt have the built in 3.5mm jack.

The V2 controllers which is the newer version has it built in.

Just look in your region for places that sells the headset adapter.
