Will your microphone work on console?

The plug is only part of the answer: the model, the console and the chat app all have to match.

Their makers say nothing about PS5, Xbox or Switch 2 either way, which is not the same as not working. Each name opens its model page.

PS5 microphone choices

Start with a headset made for PlayStation, or keep using the controller’s mic if it works. Check which input a USB mic needs before you buy one.

Xbox party chat

Use a headset in the controller’s jack or a wireless headset made for Xbox. An ordinary USB mic plugged into the Xbox won’t work for chat.

Switch 2 GameChat already has a built-in microphone. Run the built-in microphone setup first. On the original Switch, voice chat depends on the game.

Before joining a party

  1. Plug in your headset’s dongle, or a USB mic its maker lists for the console. The edition on the dongle must match your console.

  2. Select the microphone input and check mute. On PS5, use Settings → Sound → Microphone.

  3. Run the console microphone check. Check game audio separately; hearing sound does not prove that chat can hear you.
