How to Use Headphones and Headsets with your Controller

Your controller supports headphones and headsets.

Plug the headphones (3-pin) or headset (4-pin) into the 3.5-mm jack on the back of the controller. When headphones are used, the internal microphone on the controller is available for voice search and chat. When a headset is used, the headset microphone is used for voice search and chat.

Note NOTE  When multiple controllers are connected to the same SHIELD device, only one controller can receive audio through the headset jack. If you are gaming or sharing media with other people, unplug the headphones so everyone can hear.

The headset jack provides independent volume control from your Android device and maintains your previous headset volume level the next time you use your headset.
