Thinking about buying the Xbox One Stereo Headset. Sounds good and at a price I’m willing to spend right now. Nothing over that price. I compared them to a few in the store. But I know they were first introduced before there were X1 controllers with a 3.5mm port. When the headset first came out it required the included headset adapter. The problem with that is that their particular headset adapter doesn’t allow for mic monitoring. I’m so used to mic monitoring from the 360 generation. The interesting thing is that now X1 controllers have a 3.5mm port, and the Xbox One Stereo Headset has a 3.5mm cable (that normally plugs into the headset adapter). From what I understand people still plug the headset adapter into the controller that have the 3.5mm port, and they still don’t get mic monitoring. So here is my question… Has anyone with the Xbox One Stereo Headset and new X1 controller with a 3.5mm port tried completely removing the headset adapter and plugging straight into the 3.5mm port?Just toss the headset adapter that came with that headset to the side. If so does bypassing the adapter provide mic monitoring? Also I wouldn’t think there would be a difference in sound quality, but is there a difference by going this route?
Thanks in advance.
