To connect your Corsair Void headset to Xbox One, use a wired 3.5mm connection through your controller or the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. This method works because Xbox One only supports stereo headsets or headsets with a 3.5mm audio jack, so you'll plug the headset directly into the controller rather than using a wireless USB setup.
Which Corsair Void headsets work with Xbox One
Not every Corsair Void model is compatible with Xbox One. The supported models are the VOID Stereo, VOID Surround, VOID PRO Surround, and VOID ELITE Surround. CORSAIR's guide says Xbox One does not support USB-only headset connections for the VOID wireless-type setup described there. When connecting gaming headsets to consoles, always check the connection type first.
What you need to connect your Corsair Void headset to Xbox One
You need an Xbox One controller that has a 3.5mm headset jack, or an Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter if your controller lacks that jack. If the controller does not have a 3.5 mm jack, Microsoft's stereo adapter can be used. You also need a compatible Corsair Void headset that includes a 3.5mm audio cable. The Xbox One console itself is required, but no additional software, apps, or carrier-specific steps are needed for this setup.
Connect your Corsair Void headset directly to the Xbox One controller
- Turn on your Xbox One console and ensure your controller is connected.
- Plug the 3.5mm audio jack from your Corsair Void headset into the 3.5mm headset jack on the bottom of your Xbox Wireless Controller or Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.
- Confirm the connection is secure. CORSAIR's guide describes the connection as plug-and-play when the controller has the proper headset jack.
- You should hear audio through the headset immediately. A headset icon may appear on the screen.
- Adjust volume using the controller's volume controls.
Connect using the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter
If your controller does not have a 3.5mm jack, use the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. Microsoft notes that not all headsets are compatible with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, but the supported Corsair Void models work with it.
- Attach the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to the bottom of your controller.
- Use the adapter's buttons to balance game and chat audio, adjust overall volume with the volume dial, and mute the microphone as needed.
Adjust headset audio settings on Xbox One
After connecting, you can fine-tune audio through the Xbox One settings. Press the Xbox button on your controller, go to System, then Settings, and select Display & Sound. Under Audio Output, set the output to Headset. Adjust the headset volume slider to your preference. For microphone settings, navigate to Audio Output and select Headset Mic to adjust microphone volume and enable mic monitoring if you want to hear your own voice in the headset. If your headset supports surround sound, you can enable Windows Sonic for Headphones or Dolby Atmos for Headphones in the same Audio Output menu.
Troubleshooting Corsair Void headset issues on Xbox One
If the headset is not recognized, check that the 3.5mm connection is fully inserted into the controller or adapter. Ensure your headset is a compatible stereo model, wireless USB-only VOID models are not supported. If direct connection fails, try the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter as a fallback. If the headset will not work through the controller, Microsoft's documented fallback is the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. If the controller is connected to a PC via Bluetooth, Xbox headsets are not supported in that setup, so disconnect from the PC. Microsoft also says controllers connected to a PC via Bluetooth do not support Xbox headsets. For no sound or low volume, check the headset volume slider in Xbox settings and the volume dial on the adapter if used. If the microphone is not working, ensure the mute button on the headset is not activated and check the microphone volume in settings. If issues persist, try disconnecting and reconnecting the headset several times, or use a different controller.
