Using a PC headset with 3.5mm jack on Xbox 360

When the original Xbox One launched there was no 3.5mm port for headsets. This jack port wasn't added until 2015. So before that this port was used with Xbox One specific headsets or you could purchase a headset adapter to use for your headsets that required
a 3.5mm jack.

Nowadays it's used with the chatpad and some headsets still use it. But the 3.5mm jack is still what most people use.

Yes sir. Not entirely sure about "any genuine 3.5mm headset". I don't know if, for example, an Iphone headset + mic would work or not, but you can definitely use ANY Xbox 360 headset that has a 3.5mm jack.

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.

Chances are your pc headset uses the 3.5mm headphone jack, which, unfortunately the xbox 360 controllers use a 1.8mm.

The only real solution is getting a headset that can be used on both, might I suggest turtlebeaches x11's.

Cheap and easy to set up. PM if you need any other advice.

the original headset does not come with a 3.5mm jack but comes with a hardwired adapter that only plugs into the controller, no other way to connect it to the pc other than using a wired xbox controller or the wireless adapter with controller.

be better buying a one hear chat headset from turtle beach that has 3.5mm, or even better any usb headset as pc works with all including usb headsets.
