Xbox one controller cannot connect via bluetooth

If the headset is only a Bluetooth headset, then it cannot be connected to the Xbox, as the console does not support Bluetooth. However, you can connect a wired headset to the controller via 3.5 mm audio jack. If the headset can be connected that way, then you will have to connect via the wire.

One thing I just found out, the Xbox pad works with others when connected with a cable, previously I was using a bluetooth adapter which came with the controller.

Any chance of fixing it to work via bluetooth? As in, Xbox controller via bluetooth, other controller via cable.

to use xbox one controller on pc

it can be connected via bluetooth, but this will function as a controller, you cannot use headphones or mic through the controller via a bluetooth connection.

you can use the controller wired with a usb cable attached, this will enable mic and audio passthrough on the controller.

you can purchase the official wireless dongle which will do the same functions as wired.

On Bluetooth-supported controllers, the plastic around the Xbox button  is part of the face of the controller. On controllers without Bluetooth, the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the
top, where the bumpers are.

Things to keep in mind:

• For best performance, update your controller.
• Bluetooth is supported on PCs, tablets, and laptops. It is not supported on mobile devices.
• Bluetooth doesn’t support attachments such as headsets, chatpads or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.
• We recommend connecting only one controller at a time using Bluetooth.

Hi Diabelnyy,

Unfortunately it's not possible to connect your headset via Bluetooth, unless your headset or headphones have built in Bluetooth. If the headset's are Bluetooth capable, then you would need to set them up via your PC's Bluetooth settings, but I'm not sure
if you can have multiple devices connected via Bluetooth at the same time.

You would need to directly connect the headset to your PC via the 3.5 mm audio port. Connecting into the controller will not work unless you are playing on an Xbox One console.

The Xbox wireless controller adapter for PC will not work in trying to connect a headset via Bluetooth.

There is no Bluetooth radio component in the Xbox One S console itself.

The controllers connect to the Xbox One S the same way the controllers connect to the original Xbox One: proprietary RF. You could technically connect an Xbox One S controller to an original Xbox One, and an original Xbox controller to the Xbox One S.

The Bluetooth functionality in the new Xbox One S controller is specifically made for connecting the controller to a Windows 10 PC with the "Anniversary" update, which has the drivers needed for the controller when connected via Bluetooth.
