    Great device and quality, but there was no way for me to get rid of my own microphones echo in the headset. Went back to using my cheap Xbox brand dongle.

    Overpriced for what you get. There are other products that do the same for a way better price.

    Do not recommend for new consoles

    It gets the job done I can talk to my fiends and mute... but that’s about it. Don’t really care for the EQ settings the audio boost is a gimmick and I never use it. I also cannot adjust the chat/game volume at all on Series X. Kinda sucks we’re forced to buy this adapter for the new console if you want to use anything other than a dedicated Xbox gaming Headset. I personally would not buy this again when mine breaks.

    Don't buy for Elite Controllers

    This attachment is NOT compatible with the Xbox Elite Version 2 Controller. It doesn't say it's not compatible on the box or even on the website, but it doesn't work with the Elite Controller. It works on the regular controllers but NOT the Elites for some reason. Disappointing that this isn't mentioned ANYWHERE.

      Please reach out to our dedicated Support Team in regard to your inconvenience, as the Headset Audio Controller should work with any official Xbox controller. That team can be contacted via the Support Form on the main Turtle Beach website. TurtleBeach

    Couldn't get it to work completely

    The (very limited) instructions indicated as soon as you plugged it in - the Xbox would want to "update" your controller. This never happened. It controlled the overall volume, but did not seem to "split" the volume controls so that you could independently adjust the game and voice (party) volume. Mute function worked, but did not find it worth $40. Returned to store.

    I purchased this audio controller for my controller and unfortunately my microphone audio (personal audio to hear your own voice) stopped working. My friend has the same product which I tested and it worked after using his. Little frustrating to not be able to hear your own voice while playing loud games.

    I bought my first one and have it for a few months before I started to hear static then it died. I thought maybe I was too rough with it and bought a second one. It died in a month. I love the product when it works but now I'm out of $80 on two of these.

    Mic monitoring is very bad, and sound quality is worse. You also can no longer control volume/mixing from the Xbox, has to be exclusively from the adapter

    It works for headphones but it is still hard to hear your friend talk and the game sounds, it seems like its all on 1 speaker.

    A little over priced compared to the Xbox One. Didn’t experience any improvements in gaming. Super hearing sound only flattens the sounds.
