Please try again later. 2) Update the controller. 3) Connect the 2.5mm cord from your 3rd party headset to the adapter. 4) Push the bottom left button on the adapter (looks like a person with a "+" sign on their body) until you hear a beep - This will set the volume output ratios coming from the Adapter to 0% Game Volume & 100% Chat. *NOTE*: If you don't have them set this way you will here a slight "Echo" in game because the adapter will output game volume as well as chat volume, and you don't need any game volume from the adapter since you're getting it from the Optical Output from the Xbox One. 5) Now you can use the 2 right buttons (the "Master Volume" buttons) to control the in-game chat volume. 6)* IF YOU HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND and you have your Xbox One's Dolby Digital Surround ENABLED VIA OPTICAL OUT you must HARD RESET YOUR CONSOLE after completing the above steps (Hold Power Button for 10 secs, let system power off, wait 10 seconds and turn the system back on). This will fix the occasional "crackling" problem. 7)* For some reason this adapter makes the MICROPHONES SUPER SENSITIVE. If you're in a party and YOUR FRIENDS ARE COMPLAINING THAT YOUR MIC SOUNDS BAD/LOUD you simply need to move the mic farther from your mouth (6" worked for me) and talk in a normal volume. This stops the "poor" quality microphone sound from occurring. I was told this issue may be getting fixed in an upcoming firmware update. Customer reviews.

Works with any headphones or headset with a 3.5mm connection. Functional buttons. Only necessary because Microsoft designed the Xbox One without a built-in headset port or Bluetooth. The Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter lets you connect your own headphones or headset to your Xbox One gamepad. The Microsoft Xbox One already comes with a headset, but it's not a particularly good one. It's monaural and feels flimsy. Unfortunately, you can't just plug your own headset into the Xbox One gamepad like you can the included headset, and without Bluetooth you can't use a wireless headset easily. Microsoft has a solution to that: the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. It's a chunk of plastic that plugs into the bottom of your Xbox One gamepad, and lets you use any headset or headphone pair with a 3.5mm connection. It's simple, inexpensive, and functional, standing alongside the Xbox One Media Remote as another excellent first-party Xbox One accessory. Of course, it's notable that the Sony PlayStation 4's controller has a 3.5mm jack built into it without the need for an adapter. The front of the adapter holds five buttons. Two adjust the balance between game and chat audio, two control the volume, and one mutes the headset's microphone. The Xbox One's included headset just has three buttons on the connector, for adjusting volume and muting the mic. The game and chat balance buttons are new, and a welcome adjustment for players who want to hear more of the game or more of their teammates. If the included monaural headset that comes with the Xbox One isn't enough for you, and you don't want to use the Kinect for voice chat or recording commentary on game footage, the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter is a must-have accessory. It does exactly what it says it does: lets you use any headset with a 3.5mm connector with the Xbox One gamepad. It's yet another first-party Xbox One add-on, like the Xbox One Media Remote, that's well-designed, functional, and affordable. Microsoft Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. Bottom Line: The Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter lets you connect your own headphones or headset to your Xbox One gamepad. About the Author.

Overall Customer Rating. adapter ( 421 ) Customer Image Gallery. Most Helpful Reviews. More Useful than advertised. I picked this up today because I have 2 turtle beach headsets that have been sitting in a box due to their incompatibility with the x1. Once I updated my controllers to be able to use the adapter, it was a cinch to get my turtle beach working with the x1. Now what I didn't know was that if I took my Razer Electra headphones with the in-line microphone and hooked them up to the adaptor, not only do I get game audio, but it also recognizes the mic on it , allowing me to chat with it. This is awesome because I less cumbersome to use my razer headphone than my turtle beaches. The adaptor also has buttons that allow you to mix between the game audio and the chat audio, which is a feature that I liked from the turtle beach headsets. The only issue I see is that the xbox could use an equalizer for the adaptor. While the audio is good, it is kind of bland. Granted this could be fixed in a later update on the x1, but for the time being, this issue isn't something that should keep you from purchasing it. I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Great for Cell Phone Headsets. Some facts you need to know about this headset: * Has a 3.5mm jack which allows you to use most modern cell phone headsets * Make sure your jack has 3 lines (see picture I included) this is for left audio, right audio, and your mic * Includes a cable to convert the jack down to 2.5mm to use with 360, certain legacy console / phone headsets * Game audio will feed to your headset in addition to chat (new feature and big draw for me) I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Not very durable. I have purchased 3 of these for my son. They only last about 2 weeks before the small gauge wire begins to short out and fail. This is a Microsoft problem, not a Best Buy problem. This appears to be the only option available to adapt third party headsets with the XBOX ONE. If you are a heavy gamer, be prepared to purchase this adapter often. No, I would not recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Works good , but it is kinda obnoxious that microsoft made you pay to use your old headsets. I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Good adapter, on par with PS4's similar feature. For full disclosure: my review of this controller adapter is colored by my experience of a similar feature built into the PS4 controller. I have both consoles. I usually prefer Xbox over Playstation, but I believe my assessment of this adapter is unbiased by my preferences. --- This adapter not only lets you use your 3.5mm and 2.5mm (with included cable) jacked headsets, it also serves live stereo audio from your game, movie, or TV to the headset. To me, this is the prime feature. For a headset to work this way, it needs to be a "smartphone" style headset/earphoes. The best way to determine this is to count how many black rings are on your headset plug. Three is a smartphone headset with a mic. (Two is only stereo.) I use a Skullcandy headset with a microphone in-line. Other gaming headsets may or may not work well with this adapter. Surround sound headsets with a secondary 2.5mm cable for chat capability will only be able to take advantage of chat functions. Rely on your normal method for getting game audio. The next best feature of this adapter is the audio mixing capability. Buttons on the adapter allow you to modify the mix between game and chat audio. When adjusting, one side rises until both sides are equally loud, and then the other source starts to decrease. There is also a master volume control that increases or decreases the mixed volume. This is a feature that the PS4 controller fails to provide with such ease, requiring a manual adjustment in the device settings. The negatives are that the sound can drop out if the signal gets obstructed. I sit about 15-20 feet from the Xbox One, and if I obstruct the signal with my body, I can get the signal to become intermittent. However, in normal practice, this is a non-issue for me. It is merely a limitation at the edge of being troublesome. Odds are that most users will not notice this unless they have excessive obstruction. I have not had this issue with PS4, at least as far as I have noticed. Also, the controller requires an "update". There is a firmware on the controller itself and the adapter comes with a sheet that walks through updating the controller. And if you are having trouble getting the instructions to pop up on screen, there is a controller update option in the settings app under system. I had to find this myself. In a few more notes of comparison, the PS4 implementation of this feature is built into the controller, meaning the cost of this feature is increased by the cost of this adapter on the Xbox One. Also, I have not seen any such audio drops on the PS4 controller. Also, the PS4 can automatically mute audio when the controller audio is active. If you want to silence your TV with the Xbox One, you have to do that manually, by saying "Xbox, Mute" or using your remote. I believe the negatives and the positives of both implementations balance each other out and Microsoft's answer to Sony's headset functionality is a worthy answer. While Microsoft provides a more feature rich implementation, the Sony solution is more refined and built in. Aside from comparisons, I have to dock the adapter a star for difficulty upgrading the controller and for the slight audio issue, but it still comes highly recommended if your case is one that would benefit from these features. I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Poor Quality. I had this product for just over a month and the 3.5mm to 2.5mm conversion cord became frayed on the inside which made the product unusable for my headset. Terrible build quality Microsoft needs to re-release the Wireless over the ear headset like the original 360 microphone. No, I would not recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. It works as expected. This adapter is needed if you want to use your Xbox 360 headset with the new Xbox One in order to chat with friends online. If you never chat then this is not needed. For those who will be using this adapter with a wireless headset with receiver such as the Turtle Beach X41/X42, XP510/Earforce Tango etc. Make sure to adjust the 'game' sound on the adapter to off. You can do this by turning the 'chat' sound all the way up until you hear the chime/beep. This will avoid you from hearing feedback/distortion as your game sounds will come from your receiver. If you own a Turtle Beach headset, set it up the same way you did with your Xbox 360. You can either connect it to your TV or the Xbox One, it's your choice. Set the chat on the cable cord to on and full volume. From now on you will control the volume with the adapter. Turn the game volume on the adapter off as explained above. You will need to follow the Xbox One or Turtle Beach guides (check their websites) to set up the Xbox One sound setting. If you don't do this correctly you will not hear any sound. One last tip - the adapter cable that ships with the product is quite thin and there have been reports that it stops working after a few months of use. Ienza sells a replacement cable on Amazon that is thick and highly durable. I picked up a pair of replacement cables for about $5 ea. shipped. I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. did not last. This Xbox one adapter stopped working after 20 days of purchase. Luckily I got my money back because of a holiday special on returns. Do not buy.
