As you know Xbox 360 headset has an adapter that is impossible to insert into Xbox one due to its pin, which has a different connecting sequence. However, you may change its pin, which is a bit tacky thing to do which we will discuss in this article later. Therefore, let’s start with simple ones first.
1. Using foil paper or aluminum foil
The basic way is to use foil paper or aluminum foil simply, a good conductor for the electric current usually present in everyone’s place. The first step is to fold it neatly three to four times. Make sure you don’t crumple it. Otherwise, it would go to total waste. Next, wrap the headset’s pin in it tightly to allow the current to flow efficiently without any obstacles in between.
Also, note that you wrap the pin completely without leaving any parts. Moreover, sometimes the foil may stick within the pin, but it’s nothing to worry about. You may remove it very easily using a tweezer or forceps. Now try using it on your Xbox One, and we’re sure you’re really going to enjoy this headset piece with almost all the features in no time.
2. Using a copper wire
Another way is to use copper wire which is a present cheap alternative. Also, it’s a really quick way to utilize your Xbox 360 headset on Xbox one without an adapter. To do so, simply wrap your copper wire onto your headset’s pin or jack. Try using the 2.5mm headset’s jack and wrap the copper wire around it to insert it into the 3.5mm jack of your Xbox.
Make sure you don’t apply excess of it over it as it may not function well or maybe destroy your jack completely. The best way is to start from down and then go upwards to the tip. This will make the process easier and more convenient. However, note that this hack may sometimes don’t work. Still, it’s always better to try it up before opting for the next process, opening up the wire piece, and more likely operating it.
3. Try opening up the wire
This process is more likely a surgery of your headset. It’s a pretty risky hack to do as it can bear no chance of error here as your headphone may become useless completely in the end. However, if it works, you’re well to use it for a pretty long time. You need to make the 2.5mm wire a 3.5mm one for efficient work in this process.
To try this process, you’ll need the following tools:
- Xbox 360 headphones
- A sharp knife or an Exacto one
- Electrical tape
- Soldering station
- Wire stripper
- 5mm connector replacement for your headphone
Now follow the steps to operate your headset most efficiently:
- The first step is to cut the wire near the jack.
- Next, strip each wire inside. There are three wires within, and you need to strip them one by one and very carefully.
- Now, place the wire to the connector on the 3.5mm one. Make sure you place red to the right, green/brown/white to the left, and gold/black to the extended or grounded one.
- Lastly, keep it on rest to cool it up and then cover it with electric tape.
These steps are pretty difficult, and a slight mistake may destroy the whole headset. Therefore, be careful in each and each step. Further, most people usually don’t prefer this process over purchasing a new adapter. Therefore, try it at your own risk.
