Xbox One Connectivity – Can Generic Bluetooth Headphones be Connected to Xbox One?

I have three recommendations to solve your problems.

#1

Since it is one of the features of the new Xbox One S controller to be able to connect wirelessly to your pc, I suggest you

• restart your controller by pressing and holding the home button for 6 seconds

• remove the controller from your pc devices. Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth. Then you can select the controller and then select "Remove device."

• then follow the steps in this video Use Bluetooth to connect your Xbox One controller

The alternative & best way to connect a Xbox One controller to your PC is to buy this:

It doesn't cost much, you can get for less than $20 on Amazon, and trust me my friend when I tell you it will make your life easier. You simply plug it in the USB port of your pc and connect your controller wirelessly. Magic! Also it supports up to 8 controllers simultaneously as well as 4 chat headsets and 2 stereo headsets, so it's definitely worth it in my opinion!

If you need to use the controller urgently and the first solution did't work, just use a micro usb cable to play temporarily until you get the problem fixed. It looks like this:

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can, however you need a specific model of controller. In the image below, take note of the top-front of the controllers. Xbox One controllers that are Bluetooth compatible have a solid face plate with no gaps, whereas non-Bluetooth models have diagonal splits along the shoulder buttons:

You will also need to update the controllers firmware. To do this, either connect the controller to your Xbox One while connected to the Internet, or connect it to your PC with a micro USB cord. See this link for updating the firmware through a PC.

To pair the device, hold the sync button on the top-left of the controller while you search for new Bluetooth devices on your PC. It should appear as "Xbox One wireless controller for Windows".

If you still have issues connecting your controller, you can also use the Moga Serial to Windows Interface tool to use the controller as an XInput HID.

I have used all of these methods successfully on Windows 7, 8, and 10.
