I just bought these and i cant get sound out of them
@Egs
What sound?
This model is a CHAT only headset, so there will be no game sound, menu music, etc. Only chat.
Just bought these and they won't work
No one can hear me. Like they aren't even connected
@ Katelyn
Try this with a cellphone to make/take a call. Do you have any issues there with your microphone?
It works for my cellphone. But not when I have it in the controller
@ Katelyn
That may lean to an issue on the controller end. Try another controller, but if it persists then you may want to swap out the headset itself.
Yeah. These mics don't work at all. I've tried on multiple controllers and it doesn't even show that it's connected. I did everything the instructions said.
@ Devon
As per the other details in the threads here, you may want to look into swapping the headset out in that case.
I just bought my headset and it's making a buzzing sound
my chat is coming through the telly and the xbox, how do i stop it coming through the telly
@ Dylan Torres
If you use the headset with a smartphone, does that buzzing persist? If so, you’ll want to contact our support team so they can troubleshoot this with you.
@ Hayden Page
It sounds like the Party Chat Output settings may not be configured correctly. If you go to Settings >> Display and Sound >> Volume >> Party Chat Output, is the Party Chat Output set to “Headphones” or “Headphones & Speakers”? To get that chat audio through only the headset itself, you’ll want to make sure that Party Chat Output is set to “Headphones”.
Um this didn’t help at all Xbox one dashboard is totally different now

The article has been updated to reflect the changes in the Xbox One User Interface. You may want to double-check your setup with that new UI; if you’re still having issues, please contact our support team so they can assist you.
I just got my mic today and I plugged it in to my controller and for some reason it shows up like it never was plugged in. I tried this with 2 different controllers
@Amanda
To clarify: The controllers/console are not recognizing the headset? If you use the headset with a smartphone to make a test call, can you hear and be heard clearly? If not, you may want to contact our support team to see how they would be able to assist you with this.
