    Ways to connect headphone and mic into the xbone controller?


    Just picked up the 3.5mm stereo adapter not too long ago and have been using a crappy headset. Trying to use my headphones and a clip on mic for the better sound quality and to save a few bucks. I was thinking of a stereo splitter (like this one BELKIN Model F8V234 - Newegg.com)
    but not sure if i'll get audio and chat.

    thanks

    :)

    Headphones

    There are a few work a rounds you can do.

    1) There are mic and headphone connectors for 360 from 3rd party developers that plug into controller and let you connect a standard PC headset to a 360 controller

    2) you could simply ignore the mic and plug headphones into the TV then put the 360 headset over them and set it to play voice back through speakers then you get the voice chat through the headphones and the headset over the top to talk into and talk to
    people.

    3) The final one is a mix of both and I'm not sure if it even works, you connect your headset with the mic bit in the controller and the headphone audio into the TV headphone socket then change the 360 settings to play voice chat etc through the speakers
    which as you have the headphone plugged in should put the sound through the headphone to you.

    Quick turtle beach questions. Please Help!

    What I use is a pair of decent Sony dj headphones which plug into my audio receiver and then connect a small Jabra mobile phone headset to the Xbox controller. Works just as good as gaming headphones with a mic.

    Mic on new controllers with 3.5mm built in Audio port

    Yes, both controllers fully updated.

    Mic is at2020usb+, headphones are the apple earbuds, phone is the Nexus 5.

    I'm using the audio out port on the mic and connecting that to the mic port of the splitter, and the headphones to the headphones port of the splitter, and the combo port to the controllers.

    Wireless headphone support on next gen

    I would expect that existing wireless headphones for the xbone will continue to work. As I believe they use the propriety xbox wifi direct similar to the controller. They have already said that controllers will work.

    What will be interesting is whether they will let bluetooth headsets work on it. Tough choice as quality control (crappy mics) is probably the reason the xbone doesn't have bluetooth.

    Audio headphones/Turtle beach streaming mic

    Hi there,

    When the audio headphones are plugged into the AV receiver, there is game sound, but I cant hear anyone in my party chat. I only see their gamertag show up in the chat overlay. They hear me thru the stream mic just fine. In Halo 5, setting audio to Speaker,
    or to Headphones doesnt change anything.

    If I plug the headphones into the Turtle Beach stream mic, its onboard amplifier does a decent job driving the audio headphones, since the stream mic is powered via USB, but the amplifier is low quality by comparison to my AV receiver. I only got the stream
    mic so I could use my AV receiver to listen to my audio headphones in online gaming. I never expected or planned on using it to power the headphones.

    Can I even can plug the Sennheiser game headphones into the AV receiver and the Mic into the controller now? If this stream mic is already connected to the XBOX via USB, and chat is only available when the headphones are connected into the stream mic and
    both run to the XBOX wired via USB, is it correct to assume that PC gaming headphones with a built in mic also cannot be split (the mic connected to the controller and chat sound coming through the AV receiver)? Im starting to think both the headphones and
    the mic must be connected to the controller together, communicating to the XBOX wirelessly, or ill just get game sound through the headphones and no chat like I am niw with this set up?

    Headset Adapter and Beats Studio Headset

    @Monty Airline

    How did you manage do use Kinect as mic while your headphones are connected to the controller? As soon as I plug in my headphones into the Stereo Headset Adapter my Kinect won't work as mic anymore... Strange thing is, this also happens if my headphones
    don't have an integrated mic

    Xbone Headsets.

    I have the TB XP 400's and they do work with the Xbox One EXCEPT for the mic. The mic (for voice chat) does NOT work. Although wireless, the plug that goes into the bottom of the controller is entirely different. I have an extended warranty through a local
    retailer on the headphones and, when a new set comes out for the Xbone, I can foresee an "issue" arising with my headphones which will necessitate trading them in for something newer.
