Use any headphones (BT or Wired) with the Xbox Series X/S and still be be able to talk in the party.

This video will show you how to use any headphones no matter if it's meant for gaming or not and still be able to talk in the party while hearing the game sound. You can use Bluetooth headphones or wired ones, but I would recommend using the wired method for better performance.

This is great. But what if, and I know this is a radical suggestion, Microsoft just let you connect any bluetooth headphones instead of trying to scam you into buying their xbox specific headphones.

[@thegr8eralex925]

It would make life easier for everyone

[@jordanevans1540]

They will lose money that way and thats all they truly care about

[@mthunter90]

This was an impractical solution, and pretty wild work around that works in a very specific use case.

[@thegr8eralex925]

Both methods? I think the first method is really good, but the second method is the best we have as Xbox doesn’t allow Bluetooth headset directly connected to the console.

[@Mysdefy]

Super helpful! 🙌 I especially like what seemed to be you exhausting all options!? I also like how you explained everything! Thanks!:)

[@thegr8eralex925]

Yea, I though about all the possible ways 😂 I like using my headphones but hate I couldn’t talk and play at the same time

[@zakwan10]

Thank you very much for this, it was clear and very helpful, just got a Series S and saving me from running out to buy a pair of headphones when I already had a Bluetooth headset.

[@thegr8eralex925]

No problem! Hopefully the Bluetooth method is working smoothly for you!

[@tykaplan2294]

Ay bro thank you so much I’ve been looking for something like this for so long, cheers

[@thegr8eralex925]

Glad it worked!

[@hemlock4502]

I mean like, it’s impractical, but it’s necessary and it’s also very helpful. Thank you so much for the help.

[@thegr8eralex925]

Yea hopeful they fix this later down that road.

[@lakemacbogan]

I want to use my normal headphones in online gaming not just for party chat .

[@yairjors]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much

[@hankeredits2590]

bro if i just connect headset to controller by aux can i hear game sound and talk?

[@thegr8eralex925]

No it won’t work. You’ll only hear game sound. You’ll need a special aux cable and that process is a lot more complicated than these two processes mentioned in the video

[@sonderstudios6675]

This is just to use your headphones? This is way too much work. Just buy the Xbox wireless headset.

[@thegr8eralex925]

Yea, this is before the headset came out though. I still use the wired method and just use the Xbox headset as a mic.

[@GalaxyBigBird]

Can you wire connect your phone to the Xbox via usb and use the remote play feature without doing it wirelessly to get rid of the audio delay to my headphones?

[@thegr8eralex925]

I don’t think so, the last option for the remote play is to try and remote play from your computer wired but that is a long process and sometimes doesn’t work

[@iSAAConrad]

Unfortunately, because Microsoft sucks, Xbox doesn’t allow audio over USB like PlayStation and even Switch does.

[@hosschin9290]

Worked for me, thank you man

[@thegr8eralex925]

Appreciate it!

[@bgaboutferia1249]

I have Bose headphones but can hear the game and people but people can’t hear me. So In order to talk in game chat I just make a new account

[@thegr8eralex925]

Yea and with the account you made, go to the Xbox mobile app and join the party you want with that account.

[@ikilledkenny1011]

Can I talk in game chat on bt?

[@khloh46]

When u wire connect headset to controller, is it possible to chat using the mic on the Bluetooth headset connected to the ipad on the case of xm4?

[@thegr8eralex925]

I’m my case I don’t think so if I remember correctly. If I go wired first and then turn on the Bluetooth and connect to another device I think it switches to the Bluetooth device for audio, but it’s hard to tell which mic is being used whether it be the device mic or the Bluetooth mic. I also think the Xbox app does not support external microphones like a regular wired microphone but it’s worth a shot to see what happens.

[@khloh46]

I see that you use the xm4. How does the game sound via Bluetooth. Is it bass punchy?

[@thegr8eralex925]

@@khloh46 glad it was helpful! Yea Bluetooth it sounds amazing anything with a thud you can feel it the bass working whenever I play COD I can hear everything it's almost not fair lol. When I play I still plug in the wire into my controller or monitor and then turn on the headphones without connecting to any Bluetooth device and you will still get noise cancelling feature and other features to work. I would say these are excellent for gaming especially if you want to be immerse into the game, as cliché that sounds. Only downside is that you can use the mic.

[@harshasuresh4062]

Nice video bro!!

[@thegr8eralex925]

Thank you!

[@VaLeEBP]

It's possible to use this xm4 headphones with the multi bluetooth connect on xbox and a phone with discord? And listen both at the same time game and chat?

[@thegr8eralex925]

I don’t think so if it’s multipoint because I think it will focus one only one audio output at a time and switch whenever the first audio is not playing anything and the second one is, but I have not tried. What about using Xbox and discord on the same device?

[@YaMek69]

everytime i plug my headset in the controller i still hear the sound from the monitor

[@thegr8eralex925]

If your monitor has an aux input plug the headset into the monitor and you’ll be good. Also try to see if you can turn down the volume on the monitor or in the Xbox settings.

Hey! So I bought headsets and I just now realize they have a usb instead of the regular aux what do u recommend I do

[@thegr8eralex925]

I never tried this but I looked into this cause I had a similar situation, you can try and buy a usb to 3.5mm adapter and that may work but I never tried this method. There are products on Amazon where they sell the adapters but I would be a bit careful because a lot of the reviews say it didn’t work but you can try searching on the web for usb to 3.5mm adapter and try and find the best one It might work it might not.

[@Stankilla13]

Did you connect it to the phone or through the phone to the xbox???

[@thegr8eralex925]

The headset was connected through the Xbox controller

[@Stankilla13]

And is the sound the same when connecting a wireless headphone to a PCwhile streaming and connecting it directly to the xbox?

[@thegr8eralex925]

Yes if you use remote play with a very strong internet connection then it will be the same sound.

[@atifrahman9248]

If you switch iPad off can you still see the game on main screen?

Yea, you’ll still see what’s going on the main screen. I’m not sure though if you turn off the iPad if you will still be able to hear the game sound or talk, I haven’t tried it yet

how the second xbox free account adds to the voice comm ingame?? i dont understand

The second account can't add in game voice, the main account when your remote play from your smart device can use the microphone from your device

Game chat it’s probably best just to do remote streaming and play from the screen your remote playing on because you can turn the mic on or off.
