Xbox 360 headset and the Xbox One

junkmailhater · Dec 17, 2015

Don't think I am dumb, but I am either having trouble "understanding" or I just can't find my solution!

My son wants the Xbox One, but he does not like the "cupped" headsets. He is more comfortable with the "basic" 360 headset. Does this (Xbox 360) basic headset work with the Xbox One system, or is there a headset similar to the basic Xbox 360 for the Xbox
One?

I have been reading several articles throughout the old inter-web and can't seem to get a definite answer! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Xbox One Media Remote briefly surfaces

I very much doubt it, no other 360 peripherals work on the XB1.

The XBOX One come with a similar headset as the 360.

Microsoft is working on an adapter for Xbox 360 headsets to work with Xbox One.

Are you talking about Turtle Beach headsets for Xbox 360 controllers?

Well, the Xbox 360 controller has a 2.5mm headset port, whereas the Xbox One controller has a
3.5mm headset port, so the existing headset you've used for your Xbox 360 won't be compatible with Xbox One (right off the bat).

Your headset would still work on Xbox One with a 2.5mm-to-3.5mm adapter.

There is going to be a basic headset. But it will not be included in the xbox one. Does anyone know if you could use a 360 headset for the xbox one?

This is in the Xbox One discussion thread, so I'm obviously speaking about the xbox one and not the 360. The 360 headset will not work with xbox one.

Xbox One wireless stereo headset? I wouldn't know about it being "wireless", but are you actually talking about the
wired stereo headset that Microsoft sells for Xbox One? If so, the stereo headset does have a 3.5mm connector at the end. The
Xbox 360 has a 2.5mm port for headset. It can technically connect to the Xbox 360 controller with a 3.5mm(female)-to-2.5mm(male) adapter.

I think that the Xbox One stereo headset relies on the included adapter module for physical control of the volume and mute, and since that adapter can't be used on the Xbox 360 controller, volume adjustment will require you to go to the Xbox 360 Guide menu
and adjust the volume somewhere in the settings/options.

Please also note that while game sounds can be heard by connecting a headset/headphones to an Xbox One controller, the Xbox 360 does not have that functionality built in to the controller. Any audio headset plugged into the controller would be used for voice chat
only.
