Compatibility depends on your console generation and connection type.
| Type | Connection | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xbox Wireless | Proprietary 2.4 GHz (no dongle) | Xbox Wireless Headset, SteelSeries Arctis 9X/7X, Razer Kaira Pro, Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 | Best latency, auto-pair, firmware updates via console |
| USB Wireless | USB-C/A dongle | Logitech G733/G535, HyperX Cloud II Wireless, SteelSeries Arctis 7P/7 | Must be labeled "Xbox" or "PlayStation/PC" — PC-only dongles won't pair |
| Wired 3.5 mm | Controller jack | HyperX Cloud Stinger, Razer Kraken X, any 3.5 mm headset | All work; mic monitoring via controller settings |
| Wired USB | Console USB port | Razer BlackShark V2 USB, Logitech G335 (USB adapter) | Limited models; check "Xbox compatible" |
