Xbox One Stereo Headset--Does it require the adapter?

I did a little bit of poking around online, but couldn't find anything.

I use the Afterglow controller for Xbox One, and it doesn't have a rectangular port for the headset adapter, only the headphone jack.

So does the Xbox One Stereo Headset require the adapter for both sound and microphone functionality?

Xbox One stereo headset for 360 console?

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.

•Some third-party products come with a stereo headset adapter that may look different from the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter made by Microsoft, but they all function the same way.

•You can only connect an Xbox 360 Chat Headset using the stereo headset adapter with a 2.5-mm to 3.5-mm converter, which comes with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. The Xbox One Stereo Headset does not include this adapter cable.

Since you are using a 3rd party controller it doesn't have a square plug only a 3.5 mm plug. There are no adapters from the square to 3.5 mm.
