Do Xbox 360 Headsets Work on Xbox One / Series X|S?

Not directly. Xbox 360 wired headsets use a proprietary 2.5 mm connector for the controller; Xbox One/Series controllers use 3.5 mm or proprietary wireless protocols.

Workaround for 360 Wired Headsets

Best advice: Use a modern 3.5 mm or Xbox Wireless headset for current consoles.
