Xbox One Stereo Headset Echo

Hello,

I'm having a very irritating issue with echoes while using the mic on my MS Stereo Headset. Seemingly randomly I'll start to hear everything I say repeated back to me. The issue will sometimes last a few seconds and sometimes a few minutes.

I've done all contoller updates.

Unplugging and replugging both the headset cord and the adapter doesn't clear it up. Nor resetting/rebooting the Xbox One.

It occurs regardless of having the controller wired or wireless.

I sit less than 6 feet from the Xbox One and all other devices that might cause interference are on the other side of the room.

Any ideas why this might be happening or solution/troubleshooting tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stafford

Xbox One Stereo headset echos

Whenever I use my Xbox One stereo headset in a party the people in the party hear an echo. How do I fix my headset so they don't hear an echo?

 

Xbox One Stereo Headset Echo

Just bought the Xbox One Stereo Headset, sound is fantastic! However, anyone in my party or game chat complains about hearing themselves echo. I tried reconnecting the adapter and the headphone jack. Hard reset my xbox one. Resetting my alternate mac address.
Rerunning the controller update. Plugging the Xbox straight into wall socket (bypassing surge protector). Along with a TON of other troubleshooting attempts. Chatted with Xbox customer service online for an hour, for them to only repeat the same troubleshooting
steps found on the website. Then called Xbox customer support, same troubleshooting steps again.

Note: My girlfriend has the same exact headset, I hear myself echo when I chat with her and vice versa. I tried using the basic Xbox headset that came with the Xbox One while chatting with her, having her use the Stereo Headset. I heard myself echo, she
could not hear herself echo. I tried this the other way around, her with the stock headset, and me with the Stereo Headset, came to the same conclusion.

Conclusion: I believe that when using the Xbox One Stereo Headset, when other people chat with you their voice is sent to your headphones but that the mic on the headset is SO sensitive that it picks up their voice playing through your headphones sending
it back to them creating the echo.

Please HELP!!!!!

 

I have the same issue usingmy Polk audio 4Shots. Best of luck, support will not tell you to do anything except turn the earpiece volume down.

Getting increasingly frustrated over here between this and my controllers disconnecting.

 

Hey Enderswolf Zero!

Sorry to hear about the echo issues. Just to make sure that we have not missed any troubleshooting steps, I would like you to try a few steps to see if we can get this sorted,

Please give the following steps a try:

• Disconnect your headset from the controller.
• Clean the plug on the headset cable with a clean cloth.
• Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 5 seconds.
• Once your console is powered off, unplug the power cord.
• Leave your console unplugged for 5 minutes and plug in your console.
• Power on your console.
• Make sure to turn down the volume on your TV.

I would also recommend testing your headset with a different controller to see if you still experience the issue. Please let us know if the issue continues to occur and we will be standing by to help.
