Customer Ratings & Reviews

Even with the negative this is a product that gamer's been in need of since the Nintendo days! The adapter connects to the bottom of the Xbox controller, then you can use any pair of ear buds, mobile speaker, Iphone headset, Beats by Dre, or Bose products for TV/Game audio and Live chat. This is great for me as I am a stay at home dad. When the baby goes down for a nap the 5.1 gets muted and the headphones go on. Also great is the fact that any Bluetooth speaker with a 3.5 connection can become a small audio source. My wife works nights, I can keep from waking here up by using a small speaker, when I want to watch morning TV. If you have elderly family members this is the easiest/cheapest (if you already own a Xbox One) way to hook up wireless headphones. With that said its only stereo sound and a bug occurs once out of every 20 (estimated) uses, where the controller loses connection. This is VERY lame while playing online. However, MS has been on top of monthly updates to fix stupid things like this on the Xbox System (Yes, the controllers get firmware updates). SO for the price and flexibility of this 24.95 product, the bug doesn't effect my rating.

Puts audio controls at your fingertips on the controller so you do not have to go through a bunch of menus - allowing you to mute on a chat channel without using menus. These are the "missing buttons" on a modern fully functional controller are are a big in-game time and hassle saver. Also allows older controllers to be easily used with 3.5 MM headset and mic combos. Be sure your headset has a mic and the right plug by examining the 3.5 mm plug - it needs to have 4 metal bands to work (see pick below) with a headset that has a mic and stereo headset. Xbox or other "one" ear headsets work fine. Also be sure you pick the right model of this adapter so it fits on your controller. Finally note apple headsets are a problem on Xbox controllers due to apple reversing the "ground" connection. Xbox follows normal conventions (like Android headsets do) apple did not follow normal conventions. It took us a long time to figure that out.

Its easy to use and set up, good audio for chat and game sounds

Since my head phones/mic have separate plugs I needed and adapter for this adapter. It isn't flexible so when it is all stacked together it sticks out 4" from the bottom of the controller. I am still looking for a different adapter for the adapter. I would also have to say it is priced about double what it should be.

Great headset for privacy and kids playing in the same room as adults!

the product is perfect grate control of volume and game chat

I like how the game and chat volume is all together, but I hate how it doesn't sound right with my Turtle Beach PX22'S. They sound crisp on the 360, but when I use them on the One, they sound terriable. Have done the update and everything. This bug needs to be fixed, because it is the AV cable that isn't really supported on the One. Wish they had a better audio solution in settings for this.

This adapter is a must have for anyone who shares the room your XBox One is in with others that don't want to be bothered by all the gunfire and explosions. The update of the controller to use the adapter was simple and now I can plug in any headset. My only complaint is that this should have been included from the start, not an add-on. The price point is low enough that it's not a deal breaker. Definitely recommend.

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 have the controller that came with the original Xbox One (no bluetooth or headphone jack). I wanted to use my gaming headset (3.5mm headphone input) and this was much cheaper than buying a new controller. It works flawlessly and I do like having the volume buttons right there to adjust sound settings on the fly while playing.

I have some TurtleBeache px5's and hated the fact that I had to buy an adapter to use them with my xbone. For the price, its not a big deal tho. Works as intended but the buttons are wonky. You have to press hard to control game or chat volume. Since my px5's are wireless, I have to turn down the game volume on the adapter since there is no need for it (7.1 through my px5's.) I have heard of these breaking after a certain amount of time but these are still kicking and in good condition, but then again I take care of my stuff really good. Anyway, if you need something to connect your headset, then just go with it.

Bought this for my son when he upgraded to the xbox1 as I didn't want to dole out a lot for a new headset (nothing wrong with the old one). works like a charm, as evidenced by my son not complaining about not getting a new head set. Will see how long it lasts before needing to buy a new head set or a replacement adapter unit. Definitely recommend it to others.

Bought this because I wanted to use my Playstation Gold wireless headset with my xbox one. Hooked it into my control, plugged in my ps4 headset with the audio cable and was able to adjust the volume without going into settings, was also able to mute and unmute the mic with just a click of the button. This thing is perfect for any headphones or headsets you can throw at it.

I have owned gaming headsets that were 300+ dollars for the Xbox one. They were wireless and and had all the high tech features but I thought, "dang these are expensive". After discovering this device, I bought it and a cheaper set of headphones with a mic and I spent a total of $80. They work just as good if not better and I saved well over two thirds of the brand-name wireless headphones. I promptly returned the brand-name headphones that I had and I won't go back. Additionally, I have bought two or three of these as gifts for friends and they love them as well. I completely understand why somebody would want to buy the brand-name headsets but if you are on a budget or just want something to make your gaming experience more fun this is the product you need to start and they work with any set of headphones that you already own. For speaking purposes online You will want to make sure that your headphones have a mic available. feel free to ask me questions about this product. If you don't have a rechargeable battery pack for your controller I would suggest picking up one of those as well because these will run down your AA batteries in your Xbox one controller fairly quick depending on how much you play.

I was not aware of the existence of this product, but when I found out I did not think it twice about getting it. I've been wanting to play my xbox with headphones on but did not want to run a cable from the console itself. This worked just fine and the convenience of being able to lower/raise the volume from the controller itself is very nice

Bought the Xbox One Stereo Headset adapter because I was tired of the headset that was provided with the Xbox One. (That thing is junk). Honestly, Microsoft should just bundle this with the Xbox One. Anyway, the adapter is great. It allows you to use a regular headset for your Xbox One. The adapter itself has volume buttons, a mute button and a game and chat button. This allows you to choose which one you want to hear more. If you want to hear the game more, hit the "controller' button on the adapter. Same if you are in a party chat, just hit the "person" button. Overall, this allows you to use a Turtle Beach, Razer, or any other headset your may have. If you want to use it for chat, make sure the headset has a mic. Just wish this was less expensive or bundled with the Xbox One. P.S.: You will have to perform a controller update to use the adapter. Instructions and a USB cable are provided with the adapter.

When I transitioned from a 360 to the One, the last thing I wanted to do was buy yet another expensive headset. With this adapter, I got to keep my headset and the sound is even more amazing! No more plugging things in 3 different places - everything is through the USB and easily controllable on the adapter.

It's great to be able to use an old xbox 360 headset with the xbox one and this is the only way to do that. I'd rather spend $25 on this than $100 on an xbox one headset. Instructions and description of the functions aren't very good.

Theres not much to say here. It does its job. The new controllers include a 3.5mm jack so get those and save yourself the hassle. If you already have a classic controller, this will let you use your headphones.

For Christmas I got an awesome Darth Vader headset that was supposed to be Xbox one compatible. The gifter didn't know that there needed to be an adapter to connect to the controller. Generally Microsoft only likes to support their own devices, like headsets and controllers and these types of things, so I thought I would have been out of luck. I got this, not knowing really what it's capabilities were. I was pleasantly surprised to know that not only does this allow wireless chat, it also plays the console sound through to the headset. It uses a 3.5 mm plug, like on normal headphones. The controller needed an update, but the included instructions were really easy to follow.
