Sorry if this is in the wrong thread but I couldn't find one that this would fit in. I am planning on getting the new xbox this fall and I am currently trying to find everything so i can budget and save up. Is there a USB hub (For a reasonable price) that will let me plug in my bluetooth headphones, and a microphone into and then plug it into my pc and xbox? I feel like if I have one of these it will be so much easier switching platforms when I want to play games. 

 

Thank you in advance for responding (if you do)

You might be looking for a KVM switch. That stands for 'Keyboard Video Mouse'-switch and is typically use to have a single set of peripherals connected to two PC's.

This probably works for PC+XBOX too, but I am just wondering how exactly it would work with Bluetooth headphones.

 

For the mic, if it's USB then it will work, but if it's 3.5mm, you might need to look for a KVM with 3.5mm outputs.

For the bluetooth, I have these corsair headphones that have a USB plug in for bluetooth.
