    Xbox one controller 3.5mm jack socket


    Hi there. After quite a while trying to figure out why my sons expensive headset only worked intermittently and then stopped altogether I finally pulled the controller apart. It’s out of warranty so I went ahead with no fear.

    I won’t go on but why would you make the 3.5mm jack socket not be soldered? It is the most ridiculous design I have ever seen and doomed to fail on every single controller sold.

    I have thought and thought about it and I have to say the only reason I can find is because you know it will fail and you know you will sell many many more $100 controllers.

    I am so disgusted I feel like buying a PS4 for the first time. What have you done to fix this problem?

    I feel terrible that I kept telling my son that it wouldn’t be the controller because Microsoft gear was good quality. I feel conned.

    :)

    Can I use a standard pair of headphones with a y splitter.

    I have a set of headphones which have a 3.5mm jack for audio and a separate 3.5mm jack for the mic. I have the latest xbox one controller with the 3.5mm jack. Can I simply just buy a y splitter for this to work. I understand the y splitter may need to be

    Arctis 7 headphones

    Yes, I believe you need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack to connect the headset to the socket in the controller for these headphones to work.

    no headset working on Xbox one

    Its a design flaw. The 3.5mm jack socket isn’t fixed in place inside the controllers. We have 3 xbox ones and 6 controllers, 3 of them no longer pick up the headsets through the jack. I did take one apart and cleaned the connection up on the circuitboard
    and pins on the jack socket.. it worked for a while but constant use just knocks it loose again.

    It could well be the 3.5mm jack socket that has been damaged. If you can, try your headset on a friends controller, to see if it works. The cheapest way around this is a headset adapter, that plugs into the controller and has a 3.5mm jack in it.

    How to unmute mic on Xbox One S

    It could be that the 3.5mm jack socket has got damaged. If you have a friend or another controller try it on that. The adapter that {Parity} mentions is for stereo headsets on the original Xbox One controllers. This has been found to rectify the issues of
    a broken 3.5mm jack socket and considerably cheaper than a new controller.

    Edit: I have added this link so you know what the adapter looks like. There are plenty of other retailers selling these, this is just for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Bea...+chat+adapter&qid=1562244531&s=gateway&sr=8-3

    Unable to find microphone - mic striked through

    Hi there,

    Many thanks for your message.

    I am using the 3.5mm socket for the headset - it's one that connects to the Xbox via usb and also 3.5mm jack. I've tried several headsets just using the usb (official Mircosoft headset), regular earphones and a gaming headset. I find it odd that all 4 of
    my controllers (one of which I bought for my son only 1 month ago) could all have faulty 3.5mm jacks.

    I did update controller firmware on all 4 of my controllers - again with no luck.

    Thanks again!
