Do you have the controller with the 3.5mm port & the flat proprietary port or just the proprietary port ?

if the latter than you have the first generation x1 controller and will need to plug in one of these:



Here is a diagram:



If you have the former than 1st generation xbox one chat headset will suffice.

Or alternatively you can get the chat adapter





As you can see the chat adapter has 3.5mm port which allow you to use any of your own headsets. If your controller has a 3.5 mm headset as well then you can simply plug it into the controller without the need for the above adapter.
