From the moment the Xbox Series X and Series S were released, people have been curious about one thing: how to connect Bluetooth headphones to the Xbox. Ever wanted to use your AirPods or another pair of Bluetooth earbuds on your Xbox? Now, you can.
This guide will give you a step-by-step breakdown on how to connect your Bluetooth headphones to your Xbox Series X, Series S, or One. We’ll go over what you need, how to connect them, and how to make sure that your headphones are working properly.
What You Need
The first thing you’ll need to connect your Bluetooth headphones to your Xbox is a Bluetooth adapter. This is a small device that plugs into an available USB port on your Xbox. Once you have the adapter, make sure that it’s compatible with your Xbox.
You’ll also need the headphones that you want to connect to your Xbox. Make sure that the headphones you’re using are Bluetooth compatible. If they aren’t, you won’t be able to connect them.
Finally, you’ll need to make sure that your headphones are charged. If they aren’t, you won’t be able to connect them.
Connecting Your Headphones
Once you have all of the required items, you can begin connecting your headphones to your Xbox. The first step is to plug the Bluetooth adapter into one of the available USB ports on your Xbox.
Once the adapter is plugged in, you’ll need to turn on your headphones. Make sure that they’re in pairing mode, which means that they’re ready to be connected to a device.
Once the headphones are in pairing mode, you can go to the “Settings” menu on your Xbox. From there, you’ll need to select the “Devices” option. Then, select “Bluetooth Devices” and the Xbox should begin searching for available Bluetooth devices.
Once the Xbox finds your headphones, select them from the list of available devices. The Xbox will then connect to your headphones and you’ll be ready to use them.
Testing Your Connection
Once your headphones are connected, you’ll need to make sure that they’re working properly. To do this, you’ll need to put on the headphones and play a game or a piece of music.
If you can hear the sound playing through the headphones, then your connection is working properly. If you can’t hear anything, then you’ll need to make sure that the headphones are in pairing mode and that the adapter is plugged in.
Using Your Headphones
Once your headphones are connected, you’ll be able to use them with any game or app on your Xbox. You can also use them to talk to people on the Xbox Live service if you have a headset.
Keep in mind that some games and apps may not be compatible with your headphones. In this case, you’ll need to switch back to the standard Xbox audio output in order to use the app or game.
