Showing that Google is slowly but surely rolling out more features for the platform to make it more robust.<br \/>\nBefore you get too excited, this isn&#8217;t referring to Bluetooth headsets. Those still don&#8217;t have support with the controller. Though support like that could still be coming at some point in the future.<br \/>\nThat being said, any more support than just one type of headset (3.5mm headsets or earbuds) is a good thing. Because it opens things up for players and makes it more possible for people to enjoy personal audio when playing games.<br \/>\nThe Stadia controller now supports USB-C headsets and earbuds<br \/>\nWhile it isn&#8217;t Bluetooth, USB-C support is still a good thing. It gives the player more options in how to hook up a more personal audio experience with their gameplay.<br \/>\nThere are a number of decent USB-C headsets out there. Like the SteelSeries Arctis 1 for example which uses a wireless transmitter that plugs into the USB-C port to keep things cord-free. This might even be the best example possible.<br \/>\nBecause you don&#8217;t have to use a wired headset, and it&#8217;s a proper gaming headset that comes with a mic, which will work perfectly for voice chat. Keeping this in mind, even though Bluetooth isn&#8217;t supported players now actually have a wireless option. You could also plug in a pair of USB-C headphones or earbuds. And these are likely less expensive. So you can save money too.<br \/>\nUSB-C headsets are only supported on CCU and Chrome<br \/>\nIf there&#8217;s one downside to this entire revelation, it&#8217;s that this only seems to work when playing games through Chrome or on the Chromecast Ultra.<br \/>\nIf you play primarily using the phone, then you&#8217;re probably out of luck here with USB-C headsets connecting to the controller for now. The good thing is that you can still hook up a Bluetooth headset to your phone. So you still get wireless audio with Stadia in a roundabout way even if it&#8217;s not with the controller.<br \/>\nOne thing worth mentioning too, is that the SteelSeries Arctis 1 works with mobile devices. So if you do have a phone that uses USB-C, and most phones use this type of plug now, then you can still continue playing games with wireless audio headsets.<br \/>\nIn the end, Google is beginning to expand headset support for its own controller. And that&#8217;s a step in the right direction for the platform.<br \/>\nThe post The Stadia Controller No Longer Supports Only 3.5mm Headsets appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Stadia-3.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stadia controller now supports more than just 3.5mm headsets.
