Short answer: Yes, but it’s my worst audio source. Long answer: The controller’s DAC is cheap and basic, which limits how much detail and natural tone you can get, and the tiny amp is weak, further limiting sound performance and volume headroom. At max volume setting, the PS4 controller sounds both harsh and muddy, not very loud, and in-game moments that are supposed to be louder will hit a “ceiling” and have clipping issues instead of getting louder. PS4/Xbox controller < Monitor/TV headphone jack < sub-$50 DAC/amp < Home theater integrated amp < Creative G6 < Schiit Fulla or Schiit Hel.

I3bdWrong, it does work fine. Tested it on my PS4 controller. But – it doesn't sound great and doesn't get loud enough to enjoy it. I assume it's about the same for the Xbox piece.
