Why AirPods don’t work with Xbox But the newest Xbox consoles still lack Bluetooth support, excluding many existing earbuds and headphones, including AirPods. AirPods don’t work with Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles with compatibility eradicated by their different wireless technologies.

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X are decent for phone calls. Their retractable boom microphone has an impressive recording quality, and your voice sounds clear and natural even if you’re calling from a noisy environment. Unfortunately, they have a poor noise isolation performance, which may be distracting during your calls.

Make sure the headset is firmly plugged into the controller. If the headset isn’t plugged in all the way or isn’t seated properly, it won’t make a good enough connection, and the controller won’t recognize it. Unplug it, then plug it back in. Make sure the headset isn’t muted.
