How to connect headphones to an Xbox 360 controller

Probably, the statement that many people like to play, both children and adults, will not be a great revelation. Naturally, there are a lot of manufacturers of gaming devices. The Xbox 360 is a very popular game console. The use of headphones during the game for many is an urgent need. How to connect this useful accessory to Xbox One?

How to directly connect headphones to an Xbox 360 controller

The game console of the Microsoft console at the bottom of its case has a special connector designed for connecting headphones. You can insert a headset into this port. However, any headphones do not fit, you need to buy an accessory specifically for this gaming device. No special settings are required. But there are some features:

• To hear the sounds of the game you need to connect the headset to a TV or speakers;
• Headphones aim to transmit sounds from the game chat - in order to communicate with other players.

From this it follows that the issue of sound output remains open. The ability to listen to game chat is not all, but this console does not provide any other option..

Another way to connect headphones

The developers, trying to satisfy the demands of users as much as possible, developed an adapter for the Xbox One joystick.

Released in the summer of 2015, the updated manipulators of the Xbox One S and X consoles already support working with headphones that have a jack connector. The possibility of such a connection was received by "Elite". This solution works with the CTIA format, but headsets that operate on the OMTP format cannot work correctly.

But what about those users who have earlier models? Buy new ones? At least this is not rational.

A slight difference in the location of the "ground" and the "microphone" is causing trouble for many users. But they can take advantage of all the possibilities. To do this, you need to buy a simple adapter.

But most players have headsets with two outputs. Separately for speakers and separately for a microphone. In this case, you will have to purchase an adapter of a different kind.

Having done simple manipulations, you can assemble a design that will allow you to connect any type of headset to the console. To do this, find the 3.5 MINI JEC adapter.

It will receive sound from a TV or monitor. Next, you need a 3.5 MINI JEC adapter, it is just designed to correct the situation with different audio transmission formats.

The next step is to find a microphone to which you can connect headphones. The main thing is that the accessory has a volume control.

We need this microphone as an extension cord, not for adjusting the volume.

At the final stage, we assemble our entire structure. We insert the headset into the microphone.

As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated in this design. But this trick allows you to use absolutely any headphone with the xbox 360 game console.
