Can I connect a generic bluetooth headphone to Xbox One?
No, you can't use a bluetooth headset with the Xbox One. According to Connecting Compatible Headsets:
- Headsets can only be connected to the Xbox One Wireless Controller. They can’t be connected to third-party wired controllers.
- The Xbox One console does not feature Bluetooth functionality. Headsets cannot connect to the console using Bluetooth.
YOU CAN! if you have a pc/laptop, running windows you can connect any kind of headphones. I have the Arcits 7 wireless headphones and they are not wireless with xbox one because xbox one does not have usb audio capabilities. so I messed around and came up with a way!
- download (xbox app beta) from the store
- open both (xbox app beta) and (xbox app)
- make sure your xbox one is on
- on the beta, go down to (connect)
- connect your xbox one to your xbox beta app
- click (stream) at the top, once connected
- minimize xbox beta app once you see your xbox screen show up in real time
- go into the (xbox app)
- click on (partys)
- create a party
- plug in whatever headphones you want, either aux cord or usb
- open your computers (settings)
- type in the search bar "audio"
- choose "manage audio devices"
- connect your headphones
- go back to xbox app
- in the party you created click "party options"
- then click "change audio devices"
- choose your headphones
- mess around with steps 19 & 15 to get them connected if they aren't already
now you should be able to hear game audio from the xbox beta app stream, and the party chat from the xbox app, have fun!
While there isn't a native way to do this there are plenty of ways to bridge between your Xbox One and bluetooth headphones. Here is a good article explaining how you can do this with a $20 add on
The next thing you’ll need is a Bluetooth transmitter. This device hooks up to one of the audio outputs on your TV or receiver, and then pairs with whatever Bluetooth headphones you decide on.
Note that this would not let you use the mic.
