Why can i connect my usb headset to my Xbox series s

Hi there Eric, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I'm sorry to inform you that it is not possible to use headphones that connect via USB on Xbox consoles. This is mainly because the USB ports on the console are not designed for audio transfer; they are intended for data transfer to external storage devices and providing power to other devices such as Xbox controllers.

The only way to use wired headphones on Xbox consoles is through headphones that connect directly to the 3.5mm port on the controllers.

On the other hand, the only way to connect wireless headphones to the console is by using the official Xbox Wireless Headphones or licensed wireless headphones that utilize Xbox wireless technology (and that they are labeled as "Designed for Xbox" on their box). They connect natively to the console's wireless technology without using a USB dongle, meaning they pair with the console similar to pairing a new Xbox controller.

I appreciate you understanding and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

It has to be labeled.made for or compatible wirh xbothis is with any console

Hello, thank you for your repeat?

It doesn't make sense for me to get the Adaptive Controller to use my Logitech Extreme 3D joystick. Why not just use it on the XBox Series S console via one of the USB inputs??

Let me try another plan……….

Is it possible to connect the „XBox Series s“ console with a windows 10 PC using USB?

In this case I could use my Joystick as usual and had the voice from the PC Speaker!

Hi,

Both Series X/S games and Xbox One games that been optimised (I'm British) for Series X/S must be installed on either the internal storage or the expansion card. They can not be run from a USB connected storage device. My optimised Series X/S Xbox One games
were moved to my Expansion card during their update.

WOW, so many Ambassador replies to my post, yet none seem to understand my concerns. Why would I want to use an adaptor? The Xbox One X has 3 USB ports… Why? Microsoft offers USB HDD support and amazingly has even started offering
keyboard and mouse support. Why can they not offer USB headset support via the USB port? Yes, I agree that some, probably most, Xbox gamers play on their
sofa and connecting the headset directly to the controller is a great convenience.

What happens if I want to use a different peripheral, like a gaming wheel?
The Xbox supports my Thrustmaster TMX but if I want to be able to chat with my friends, I’m forced to connect my headset to a separate controller.
Hence my comment about this being “clunky”.

Being forced to connect a headset to the controller is not ideal for all users/situations.
My “Gaming” headset works perfectly on both the PC and PS4.
I have no interesting in using an adaptor as I do not want to connect it to the controller.
This method is both uncomfortable and unnecessary as my Xbox sits 2 feet away on my desk.

Are you telling me that Microsoft’s Windows OS and Sony’s OS for the PS4 is better than Xbox’s?
Oh dear!
