    Headsets on Xbox.

    Why does the Xbox One not support any USB based headsets except for the specific Xbox One headsets that are WAY too expensive. Why can't I unplug my wireless USB dongle for my headset from my computer, plug it into my Xbox and use that for game/chat audio??
    Both my PC and Xbox utilize Windows 10 now, so whats the difference?

    I'm just curious and slightly annoyed by this. I would really like to enjoy 100% wireless surround sound without paying 300$. Come on Microsoft...

    Wireless Headsets

    So i understand that recently xbox has released some wireless headsets that are now compatible with windows 10 and xbox and those are the only usb wireless headsets you can use. My question is, why cant xbox make some changes so you can you other wireless
    headsets that are compatible with windows 10 and xbox?

    Im currently looking at the razer man o war wireless 7.1 surround sound, and its only compatible for ps4, pc and windows 10 but it cant work for xbox. The new razer thresher ultimate basicly has the same stuff and is comaptible with xbox. That all i had
    to say. If somebody could get back to me explaining why its like this, i would like to know.

    win10 xbox app joining party instantly mutes ALL other pc audio but party chat

    yes, all are updated. It seems to happen when using bluetooth headset (Sony WH-CH700N). If I use my turtlebeach xbox headset with the xbox windows usb adapter, it works as should.

    Connecting Joystick Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

    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!

    USB Surround Sound Headphones Perfect for PS4 but Not Working XBOX One

    The micro-usb port on the controller is not designed for use for headphones.

    The Xbox One Controller is designed for using a headset with a 3.5mm jack. There is no general USB support on the Xbox One console for USB headsets.

    You'll need to buy a headset that's compatible with the console.

    Looking up your headset at amazon -

    Gaming Headset, ZIDLI ZH7 7.1 surround sound Earphone with LED Light Noise Isolating Over Ear headphone with Mic

    Compatible with Windows XP, Windows 10, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1. MAC Generic Use. No Drivers.

    Usb Headsets and microphones...

    USB headsets are not compatible with an Xbox one, and so far there is no software to fix this issue. If you are looking to use the headset for chatting purposes only you can download the xbox app on windows 10, often it is pre-installed on windows 10
    pcs. With the xbox app you can create a party and invite your friend(s), the party will have voice chat.
