Can You Use iPhone Headphones with Xbox 360? Not Directly, Adapters Needed

Not directly. iPhone headphones use TRRS (4-pole) 3.5mm (audio + mic). Xbox 360 controller uses TRS (3-pole) 2.5mm (audio only).

With Adapters

1. 2.5mm TRS → 3.5mm TRRS adapter: Converts plug size + ignores mic ring. Audio works; mic disabled.
2. Headset splitter (3.5mm → 2×3.5mm): Plug iPhone buds into one side, chat headset into other (if controller has mic port).

Caveats

• Audio quality may degrade.
• No mic on iPhone buds for 360.
• Official 360 headset or 2.5mm headset recommended.

Xbox One/Series X|S controllers have 3.5mm TRRS—iPhone buds work natively (audio + mic).
