    Why can't you just plug your headset into the USB outlets on your XboxOne console?


    I have a set of Turtle Beach PX22 headphones which I mainly use for my PC, however, I wanted to try using them to play Destiny. I am a little confused as to why there is no functionality with plugging in the headphones directly into the console. Instead,
    you have to buy a $25-30 accessory to mod your controller to get the headset to work.

    Is this really the only way to get my headset to work? A little stunned that there is so little compatibility with the console seeing as how the XB1 came out within the last year...

    How to charge your Xbox Wireless Headset

    You should charge your wireless headset overnight before you start using it for the first time. You can charge your wireless headset using a USB charging cable or an AC power adapter.

    To charge with a USB charging cable, connect one end of the headset charging cable to your wireless headset and plug the other end into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console. You have to turn on your console to charge the headset.

    To charge with an AC power adapter, plug it into an electrical outlet and connect the other end to the wireless headset.

    Note: When you connect the AC power adapter with your headset, the connection (if any) between the headset and console will be interrupted.

    At the time of charging, the lights on your wireless headset flash one at a time, and then turn off. But when the headset is fully charged, all four lights blink together.

    The headset beeps when the battery is low.

    • If your headset beeps two times, it means that 30 minutes of battery life remains.
    • If it beeps three times, 5 minutes of battery life remains.

    I plan to buy a USB Gaming Headset for XboxONE

    Okay as the subject states I plan to buy a USB Gaming Headset for XboxONE originally it's for PC I'm just wondering will it work with the XboxONE if I plug it in one of the USB Sockets on the back?

  4. Why can't you just plug your headset into the USB outlets on your XboxOne console?

    The chat adapter was really meant for headsets to plug into the chat adapter and get game audio and chat audio from the controller. The ability for it to make headsets designed for the 360 compatible was just one of it's features for people that already
    spent money on a console gaming headset.

    From the looks of it the cable coming out form the headset is a 3.5mm 4 pole TRRS jack so with the chat adapter you could plug them directly into the chat adapter and get game and chat audio through the controller without even having to use the inline amplifier.
    If you want to use the inline amplifier all you would need to to is plug in the chat adapters 3.5mm TRRS to 2.5mm adapter and then just plug the 360 talk back cable into that and your good to go.

    Might be wrong that's the way it looks just looking at the manual for it and how it shows to connect it to the PS4 by just plugging it into the Dual Shock 4 controller.

    Xbox Wireless Headset no sources sound after firmware update

    Hi Jonnathan! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Are you sure that the reset process was successful?

    If you hear a tone and the headset’s power light rapidly flickers orange and white, it means you have cleared the headset’s pairing info and not triggered a hard reset.

    To perform a hard reset of the headset:

    Plug the USB-C cable into the headset and position yourself next to your console, Windows 10/11 device, or a power outlet with a USB connection (do not plug the other end of the USB-C cable into the console, PC, or outlet yet).

    Hold down the headset’s power button and the mute button simultaneously (both buttons are located on the left earcup), and then quickly plug the USB-C cable into your console, PC, or outlet.

    If the hard reset is successful, the headset should power off.

    Turn the headset back on. (If you continue to hold down the power button throughout the hard reset process, the headset will power off and then power back on.)

    How do I connect my xbox wireless headset to my phone without it connecting to my xbox?

    This issue can be corrected if you try to perform a hard reset to the headset:

    1. Plug the USB-C cable into the headset and position yourself next to your console, Windows 10 device, or a power outlet with a USB connection (do not plug the other end of the USB-C cable into the console, PC, or outlet yet).
    2. Hold down the headset’s power button and the mute button simultaneously (both buttons are located on the left earcup), and then quickly plug the USB-C cable into your console, PC, or outlet.
    3. If the hard reset is successful, the headset should power off.
    4. Turn the headset back on. (If you continue to hold down the power button throughout the hard reset process, the headset will power off and then power back on.)
    Note: If you hear a tone and the headset’s power light rapidly flickers orange and white, it means you have cleared the headset’s pairing info and not triggered a hard reset. If this happens, try the steps above again.

    Xbox wireless headset turns on for a sec then turns off

    Hi,! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    If the headset won’t turn on when you press the power button, connect the headset to your console using the USB-C cable, then try powering on again. If it still won’t start, verify that the headset is receiving power from the console (the power light should be flashing orange). If the headset isn’t receiving power, try plugging it into a different console or device. If none of these steps work, perform a hard reset of the headset.

    To perform a hard reset of the headset:

    Plug the USB-C cable into the headset and position yourself next to your console, Windows 10/11 device, or a power outlet with a USB connection (do not plug the other end of the USB-C cable into the console, PC, or outlet yet).

    Hold down the headset’s power button and the mute button simultaneously (both buttons are located on the left earcup), and then quickly plug the USB-C cable into your console, PC, or outlet.

    If the hard reset is successful, the headset should power off.

    Turn the headset back on. (If you continue to hold down the power button throughout the hard reset process, the headset will power off and then power back on.)

    Series X Wireless Headset no sound

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    Check if in the ''audio mixer'' the middle bar is not completely to one side, leave the bar in the middle. If that's not the problem, try hard resetting your headset.

    To perform a hard reset of the headset:

    Plug the USB-C cable into the headset and position yourself next to your console, Windows 10 device, or a power outlet with a USB connection (do not plug the other end of the USB-C cable into the console, PC, or outlet yet).

    Hold down the headset’s power button and the mute button simultaneously (both buttons are located on the left earcup), and then quickly plug the USB-C cable into your console, PC, or outlet.
