Gaming headset compatibility varies between every headset. Some gaming headsets use a 3.5mm audio jack to plug into compatible ports, and, if you use a Y-splitter, these headsets will be compatible with most consoles and PCs. Other headsets are wireless, and can either come with a USB dongle that plugs into your console or PC's USB port, or the headset could have a built-in propriety chip that creates a direct connection with the console–no dongle required.
