    Perfect for a first generation Xbox One Controller

    Perfect for a first generation Xbox One Controller
    This adapter worked flawlessly. All of my headsets and headphones worked including: Beats, Apple iPhone headphones, cheap knockoff beats, Sony's, etc. It is really nice to be able to plug any headphone into your controller and hear the game audio and balance it with any player audio.I did run into some trouble with an old pair of headphones with a built in mic, for some reason my friend heard a loud ringing from me in the party chat when I was using them. But, I switched to another pair and the worked perfectly. Probably a problem with my headphones but wanted to mention it in case you see other reviews with the same problem.My only gripe (well not really) is that I bought it right before the announcement that the new Xbox One Controller will have a built in 3.5 mm audio port. But, this is still a good buy for someone with a first generation Xbox One Controller.In summary, if you have a Gen. 1 Xbone Controller and want to use a 3.5 mm headset then buy this, you'll save $35 over buying a new Gen. 2 controller. But, if you have a Gen 1. controller thats kinda giving out just go buy a new Gen. 2 controller.
