While you’ll be able to connect any of the headsets listed above, only the HS75 X Pro officially supports a wireless connection. Whereas the other headsets will need to connect via a 3.5mm audio cable.

Let’s take a look at how to connect each type of Corsair headset to your Xbox.

How to Connect Corsair HS75X Pro to Xbox Sieres X/ Sieres S/ Xbox One

Since Corsair’s HS75X Pro was literally designed for the Xbox, it can connect it wirelessly within seconds. Here’s how:

Press and hold the pairing button on your Xbox. This is located on the front right side of the Series X. On the front left side of your Series S. Or on the front right side below the power button on the Xbox One X and One S.

With the headset turned off, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds
Your Xbox should now display a “Headset Assigned” message on your screen indicating that your device is paired.

And that’s pretty much it! Your headset should now be connected.

Additionally, you’ll be able to enable Dolby Atmos on your headset for an impressive listening experience.

You would first need to download the Dolby Access app from the Microsoft store. Next, open the app, and your headset should automatically be detected. Then simply enable Dolby Atmos.

How to Connect any Corsair Headset Via the 3.5mm Audio Cable

If you own a Corsair headset but don’t own one that connects via Xbox’s connect feature, then you’ll still be able to connect via a 3.5mm port. All you would need to do is plug in your audio cable into your Xbox controller’s audio jack. And that’s it!

However, if you notice that the sound is coming from your speakers instead of the headset, then here’s what you need to do:

press on the Xbox logo
Click on Settings
Tap on All Settings
Select Display & Sound
Now click on Volume > Party Chat Output
And select Headset

If you’re unable to hear your gameplay sounds, then here’s what you need to do:

Simply press the Xbox button
Go to Settings > All Settings > Display & Sound
Click on Volume
Select Chat Mixer
Then select Do Nothing

If you’re trying to connect to an Xbox one and are using an older version of the controller, you may notice that it’s equipped with a 2.5mm audio port rather than a 3.5mm if this is the case, then you’ll still be able to connect with the use of an adapter.

What to do if Your Corsair Headset Mic is not Working or You’re Experiencing Sound Issues

Check if your microphone is muted

The first thing you want to do is check if your microphone is muted. Most Corsair headsets come with a button with a microphone icon located on one side of the earcup. If the button is pushed down, this means that your headset is muted. If this is the case, then simply press it one more time to unmute.

Restart both devices

Sometimes the fix can be as simple as turning off your headset and Xbox and re-connecting them. This allows your device to start from scratch and eliminate connection or pairing issues that may have occurred.

Update your Corsair headset Firmware

A very common reason many users experience sound or mic issues typically revolves around the headset’s firmware. In most cases, not updating your firmware can cause issues.

You can update your firmware by installing Corsair’s ICue Software. Make sure your headset is connected to your device. Select the device you would like to update and click on Device Settings. Next, simply click on Check for Updates. Sometimes you may notice that your software displays no available updates even though there may be one. So what you can do in this circumstance is to select Force Update. This will simply force your device to update to the latest firmware.

Hard Reset your headset

If non of the above solutions seemed to work and you are still experiencing issues with the microphone or sound quality, then your final option is to hard reset your headset.
