Xbox one headset with 3.5mm jack controller

Sals13 · Jan 4, 2016

I just bought the newer style controller with the 3.5mm port. I'm presuming I don't need the adapter to use a headset for game and chat audio? I've tried to look online but some reviews on headsets I've looked at have said you still need it, surely that
defeats the object of having this new controller? Im guessing they havent set up the audio settings properly?

Confusion about XBoxOne headset vs. controller compatibility

Hi

The two headsets that you have listed above have 3.5mm jacks on them that will connect to all Xbox One controllers that have the 3.5mm jack. If you have an earlier level controller without the 3.5mm jack port then you will require the headset adapter or
chatpad below.

looking to get a headset...

I'm looking to get a headset for my xbox one, as I've got one of the new controllers with the 3.5mm jack, my question is, can I use ANY headset with this that has a 3.5mm jack, even if its one of those cheap $10 cellphone headsets, provided it has
the required 3.5mm jack?

Hi there Horito,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to take a look into some resources. If you are using an Xbox One Controller, you will need the following components:

Xbox One headset adapter
3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack)
3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary cable ( 2 lines on the jack)

You will need to connect the Xbox One headset adapter to the Xbox One Controller. Then the 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack) connects into the adapter. The splitter cable will be identified as headset and mic. The 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary
cable ( 2 lines on the jack) will be used in the mic cord to the Yeti Mic.

Hope this helps.

The controller just has the 3.5mm jack the XBox One S did not come with the stero headset controller...just plugging into the 3.5mm jack worked for a few weeks right out of the box

USB headsets do not work with Xbox One. The only ones that will work are ones that use a 3.5mm jack with the controller or one of their (Xbox) certified headsets.

The original Xbox One controllers didn't include a 3.5mm jack. You mentioned that you were using a newer controller and as that will have a 3.5mm jack, it may be possible that the problem you are having with your headset is related to that following the
recent Dashboard update. Unfortunately it appears that Microsoft have introduced an incompatibility between consoles and controllers using the 3.5mm jack.

You may be able to use a stereo headset adapter or chatpad to workaround the issue as the 3.5mm jacks on those devices don't appear to be affected.

Good luck!
