Wireless Xbox One S controller is not working with Xbox One headset or any headset

HeadTakr420Boss · Aug 2, 2016

Purchased an Xbox One S and none of my headsets work with it. I have the xbox one headset with adapter and when plugged in no one in my party can hear me. I know for sure it isn't on mute also. I have tested the headset and it does work. I also have tested
my bose headset with the controller and it doesn't work on the wireless controller either. The bose headset does, however work on a wired controller I have for the console, but that is besides the point since I want to use a headset with my wireless controller.

Hello AMSteen!

Is this a Xbox One Chat headset or Stereo headset that is acting up or is it a third party accessory? Does the controller itself work with any test headsets or is it not recognizing any headsets? Can you describe the issue that is being experienced with
the microphone itself? Please let us know with a reply to be able to best assist you. Take a look at these helpful support links:

Did MS design Xbox without this key feature the 360 had?

I hate the design of the Xbox one controller so I'm using my 360 controller, CronusMax, and a Xbox wireless extender. Hence, I cannot use any headset unless my Xbox 360 headset will work if I plug it into the controller.

Try updating the controller with the adapter connected.

If you need all-wireless on all four consoles, you'll want a wireless headset that works with the 360/PS3/PC and then the chat adapter for Xbox One. The PS4's DS4 controller has a chat/headset connector built into the controller already.

Bought a £250 headset (Astro A50'S Wireless) Yet STILL have to plug it in to controller to talk. Really hoping for a wireless headset for xbox one too

Turn off and disconnect all controllers from the Xbox 360 and disconnect the wireless headsets from the controllers.

Connect the wireless headset to the Xbox 360 using the USB cable. Turn on the wireless headset.

Sync the headset to quadrant 1 by pressing the "Connect" button on the on the Xbox 360. Then press the "Connect" button on the wireless headset for two seconds. Do not continue to press the "Connect" button on the wireless headset, as this will change the
quadrant to which it is connected. If the headset now works without the controllers attached, the problem must be with one of your controllers. If the headset still does not work, then the problem is with the headset.

Hi GilgameshRune,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Xbox One and your wireless headset. Can I ask if your headset was working with your Xbox One S before you connected to the Asus monitor or is this all a new setup? I am thinking there may be a compatibility issue
with the headset.

Brad mentioned reaching out to the manufacturer, you may want to ask them if the headset you have is compatible with the Xbox One S in wireless mode or if you can only use the headset in wired mode connected via the headphone jack on the controller.

Hope this helps

Well, if you need a wireless headset, I recommend this one Xbox Wireless Headset | Xbox as it is compatible with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
