Review on KingPow Adapter XBOXONE XBOX360 Computer by Jason Lockwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The hub WORKS, but buy with caution (read below).

This hub is reasonably priced and works as expected. However, if you are using this on a PS4 Pro while using a wireless headset that uses a USB/optical cable to connect (e.g. the Stealth Turtle Beach range) you will be dissatisfied with this item. I tested the theory below using just a USB headset transmitter and an optical cable connected to the transmitter and they both had the same problem. creates a strange robotic pulsing noise in the headset and interferes with the headset's microphone. I didn't notice it right away, but while playing online, one of my online friends mentioned how my mic sounded and that prompted me to fix the issue. No matter what I did to troubleshoot, I couldn't figure out the problem and leaned towards a defective headset and was on the verge of filing a warranty claim with the manufacturer. Finally it dawned on me to try to unplug this USB hub and when I did the problem went away. There aren't any settings on the PS4 that would fix this, so honestly I wouldn't buy this in that scenario. It could very well be a hub defect but at this price I wouldn't want to send it back to find out! :) I can't use it for what I bought it for with my wireless headset, but I can still use it on my PC so I'm not totally dissatisfied.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
