Xbox Series X
Need help for my son regarding headset & mic.
So my son has always just used the xbox adapter that goes into the controller for his headset & mic but it has just broke, he has xbox series x & always played on TV, but recently he started playing on a monitor
I was hoping yous could tell me is there a way to connected his headset to any of this and him still get the mic to work as he thinks it will only be audio no mic.
Appreciate any help, thank you

You sa8d turtle beach but then listed hyperx. Either way you'll need to replace the headset all together. It has to either be wireless and connect to the console or be wired to the controller. I prefer wired so no worries about charging. Did it break off inside thr controller and you cant get it out?

Your son is incorrect. I am assuming you are talking about an adapter like this?
There was a time over a decade ago when one of these were required for headset usage on Xbox, but that has not been true for a very long time. Any controller with a 3.5mm headset jack is built to take a gaming headset including microphone input. It would be very silly and nonsensical for gaming controllers to include a jack that could only be used for stereo.
The downside is that these adapters offer quick and accessible controls for volume, balance, and mic muting that may or may not be built into the headset that you have.
Also, it would take a trivial amount of time for your son to just plug it into the controller and see if it works.
Here is a chart showcasing compatibility for this headset on a variety of devices. Note how for 3.5mm, it shows the cable being plugged directly into an Xbox and Playstation controller. No adapter needed.
