How to Connect Wireless Headphones to Xbox One.

This post will show you how to connect wireless headphones to your Xbox One.

0. How Do I Pair Wireless Headphones With My Xbox One?

Unfortunately, none of the Xbox One models (including the S and X) support Bluetooth, thus only headphones that support Microsoft's wireless protocol may connect to the console.

Depending on the kind of headset you choose, you'll either utilise the supplied wireless receiver, which plugs into a USB port on the device, or connect to it directly, like you would an Xbox One controller.

1. If You Have a Wireless Adapter on Your Headset

1. If your headset came with a USB adaptor, proceed as follows:

2. Ascertain that your headphones are completely charged.

3. Start the Xbox One.

4. Connect the adaptor to your Xbox One's USB port.

5. Switch on your headphones and enter pairing mode. They will instantly connect, and the Xbox One will switch the audio output to your headphones.

2. If Your Headset Comes With a Base Station

1. If your headset has a base station, you may need to complete an extra step.

2. Ascertain that your headphones are completely charged.

3. Start the Xbox One.

4. Connect the base station to your Xbox One's USB port.

5. If your base station has an optical cable, connect it to the Xbox One's optical cable connector on the rear.

6. Switch on your headphones and enter pairing mode. The base station and your headset will instantly link.

3. How to Manually Sync Headphones with an Xbox

1. If your headset does not come with an adapter or base station, proceed as follows:

2. Press the sync button on the left side (Xbox One) or lower-right corner (Xbox One S and Xbox One X) of the console.

3. Hold the power button on the headphones until it pairs with the console.

4. Alternatively, connect your headset to the Xbox One via the USB, and then turn it on. Once the Xbox recognizes the headset (usually the power indicator will stop blinking), you can unplug it.

4. Is a Wireless Headset Required?

The biggest advantage of going wireless with your sound is that you won't have wires all over the place, but with the Xbox One's setup, that won't be an issue. A wired headset connects directly to the controller and allows you to hear both game and conversation audio without having to extend a longer cable to your TV or soundboard. The only wire required connects your headphones to the controller you're currently holding, which can assist to reduce clutter.
