QuestionDoes this headset come with an adapter cable to use a split mic and audio output for PC?
Asked 5 years ago by Kaninchen.
- Answer Yes, it comes with 2 cables. 1 connecting directly to the headset, 2nd cable is to help split the audio/mic if your PC has those separate ports. If your PC has those separate ports, you will need to utilize both cables.

QuestionDoes it use a charger and if so, does it come with charger cord?
Asked 5 years ago by Caleb.
- Answer No charger required. They are not amplified like some wired headsets. *cough*recon 700 *cough*. This was a major selling point for me when I returned a previous pair that needed to be charged even though they were wired.

QuestionWhat is the difference between this and the Bluetooth version? Which one would recommend for online gaming?
Asked 5 years ago by TerrifyingTurds.
- Answer I game online and I use the wired one. While the Bluetooth offers the convenience it doesn’t make much difference to me. One thing to think about is delay between headset and controller and controller to Xbox. If you have a wire then it’s pretty much direct.

QuestionDo I need an adaptor for my xbox one controller or does it connect on it's own? Also can I hear the game AND hear people talk through it, while being able to take on my own?
Asked 5 years ago by Qlevr.
- Answer Your Xbox controller needs a 3.5mm jack (I think all the new ones have it). Yes, you can hear the game and hear people talk and talk into the mic. Make sure your Xbox settings are adjusted so the party chat goes through your headset instead of just your TV.

QuestionSo, does it only have one cable coming off to connect to the xbox controller or would I have to plug it in to power it and then also have a 3.5mm jack that plugs into the controller?
Asked 4 years ago by Connectivity.
- Answer it does have only one chord coming out to connect to xbox/playstation controllers. but it comes with an extension for PC users that splits into 2 inputs. one for the audio coming through to you, and one for the microphone on the headset. the extension will not be needed for use on console.

QuestionJust got this headset today and the mic does not pick up any noise. How can I fix this?
Asked 2 years ago by user222.
- Answer Make sure it is selected under the recording tab in the sound menu. If you have a webcam or other device with a mic, it could select the wrong one. I would disable any other mic to be safe. Now, there is also a chance that the mic is busted. Mine broke after 6 months. It just randomly stopped working. If the mic is selected as your default device and it still isn't working, you might as well contact SteelSeries.
