USB headset support on series x?

There are multiple articles stating audio compatibility via USB. If optical is necessary, there are various HDMI to optical devices available which you may need to add.

"Some gaming headsets that utilize an optical cable may require a firmware update to support game and chat audio over USB on Xbox Series X. Soundbars and headsets that do not receive updates may be connected
directly to your televisions optical port."

They haven't released all of the detailed information, although it is likely. Keep following news and announcements about the Series X and they will probably give more details just before release.

As far as I am aware, it was announced at E3 last year that all officially licensed headsets for Xbox One will be compatible with Xbox Series X. As for unofficial USB headsets, there has been no confirmation of this.

I would keep an eye on

I hope that helps.

This is correct. Like Eden said, anything licensed will cross over. This also includes the Elite Controller 2

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.
