I love that your are wearing a NF shirt

I started to watch this, then just happened to get sucked into a search for a specific NF interview because of my horrible attention span, then when I finally returned to this video, I noticed this guy's shirt. That's so damn weird lol

I ordered this about a month ago. So to start it wouldn't pair with my regular earbuds but lucky for me it claims to be compatible with TWS earbuds, so I ordered some. In the long run it didn't work with any of my earbuds whether or not they support TWS. Folks if you want to make a sandwich while watching netflix just get the official xbox headset.

It will work with soundcore anker 3? Because i am looking for something like this

Can I connect a Bluetooth soundbar to it?

[furryy]

Can that adapter be used for a Bluetooth Speaker instead of headphones or buds?

*** You can bypass the Xbox by using the Xbox App and do the headphone audio by using the Xbox app on 5our phone or tablet. You're even able to create or join parties through the app ***



This guy seems cool. It's too bad he takes too long to get to the point. I had to leave the video to find a better video so I didn't have to skip around. Hopefully he gets better the more he posts 🤷‍♂️

I clicked the link and those say they are compatible with Xbox one x and s ot disnt say series x

[drtenant]

the issue with this is it doesn't use your bluetooth headsets microphone instead it using the mic built into the puck which is just an open mic so it picks up everything with no no cancelling

[The_Supreme_Savage]

I use the Skull & Co. version and I fricken love it

[EmilDebil-pv]

The shipping from amazon for me is more expensive than the actual adapter

[YouTuberenderingnotswearingAsa]

Your wrong I Bluetooth the controller all the time on mobile
Then why can't you headphones Bose to controller the same way?

[ritanicole]

Will this work with a Bluetooth speaker??

[stevefoods]

What color does the lightsaber go? Jedi, Sith or both?

[rogueleadertv]

Will this work with the razor hammerhead pro hyperspeed? The newer earbuds, not the Xbox licensed regular hammerheads

[hectordelgadillo]

So how long the battery last? Or how often do you charge the dongle to keep up with the Bluetooth device?

[kaitlin]

I'm gonna trust you. If this doesn't work I'm gonna cry.

[ZLAWGER]

So I have to spend more money so I can connect my 60 dollar headset when it could be a simple click of a button wow

The one reason why the Series S was a non starter for me was the exclusion of Bluetooth.

For a moment I thought that this was going to be the solution until we see that you still require an Xbox controller.

And I'm surprised that only Amazon seem to stock this device, or at least this is the impression clearly left. Is there commission attached to the number of times you mention the company/

Fuck that, I’m just getting a starfield headset at this point.
