Xbox One will support Xbox 360 headsets with an adapter

Um...Does any body know if the wireless ones are compatible?

Just one more reason for this 360(two red ringers before + old Box) to be my last xbox. F@cking sick of M$ telling me to suck it and by their machine/products anyway. F@cking nickle and dime gangsters....

Doesn't matter if it's included or not I want the pretty headset in the picture anyway.

Wow they really expect everyone to leave there kinect voice chat on during games? This is going to be the most anoying thing possible. I can hear it now, TURN YOUR DAMN TV DOWN!!!

I dont use cheap headsets, only turtle beach

But my question is can you use an Xbox 360 Bluetooth headset on Xbox One?

Knowing Microsoft, the adapter will cost just as much as the Xbox One headset. If they can't screw you over with buying a Xbox One headset, they pretty much will with the cost of the adapter.

yeahhhh

they should package in that headset adaptor or sell it for cheap cause no one really cares about that mono headset when most people have something way better

@Cl0ud @Lillypaw @rookiesniper195 Why?

I really hope i can use my Xp500s. I dont want to drop another 300$ dollars on a headset.

Sucks to suck.

So now you need specific hardware and can't use a standard headset? It was bad enough that you needed a 2.5mm plug in the 360.

Kinect is not an option for me as a mic. For one, I sit 18' away from the screen. When I play late at night I'm gonna piss off my wife and kids if they hear me talking loud so the kinect can hear me. Not an ideal solution for everyone. A headset allows me to keep my voice down and still allow friends to hear me. Plus when you fork out good money for a set of turtle beach or in my case, Astros, I really don't want my headset to become useless with the new console. Glad to hear there will be an adapter but think it is pretty shitty that they had to go with a proprietary connection. Unless the adapter is included with the console this is just another way for them to make money off all of those people who invested in a high quality headset knowing that these people will buy the adapter vs a new headset.

Here's a thought, MS. Why not spend the money you will use on development of an adapter on actually putting a headset in with the xbone in the first place???

Common sense FTW!!!

Good this it what they should do update their headset technology and leave behind the old shit and at least their giving an option to use the old shit

let me guess...the adapter will come with the new headsets right ?

SO to use the 360 headset you need to pay for the adapter.

Isn't that Sony headset just a cheap earbud with a mic pretty much? Of course I'm afraid of the kinect after watching Paranormal Activity 4.

@Cl0ud @Lillypaw @rookiesniper195 Obvious troll is obvious

"Each Xbox One includes the new Kinect sensor," said Microsoft, "with a highly sensitive multi-array microphones designed to enable voice inputs and chat as a system-level capability, both in-game and with Skype and other experiences."

This is why I could care less if it comes with a cheap mic or not. Well, unless it turns out to be as crappy as the first kinect...

thank god I don't have to buy another mic..... even if the console came with a mic it is going to suck just like the PS4 mic will....... the thing looks cheap Both of them do but o well

@Weasley28 have you been living under a rock the last few months? Its been all over the news about the NSA spy programs. There have been numerous news articles about how they are working with microsoft and other companies to record and catalog every phone call and online communication. Do you honestly think that they would let the opportunity to hook up to a camera and microphone in our homes as well?

lol it seems that ms is back peddling about anything negative lol....get rid of the kinect. c'mon guys...lets get a campaign started

The kinect is useless for in-game voice coms. I hated having to hit the xbox button and go through the menu to mute everyone who was using it. It sits next to your tv and SPEAKERS. The person is 8 or 10 feet away.

adaptor priced at $69. the perfect price point for our xbots claims Microscam..

@ALCHEMISTx24x7 LOL indeed friend:

Microsoft has filed a patent application for a computer system that will allow advertisers to target customers based on their emotions.

The patent includes a method to determine emotion over a certain period of time using a variety of methods, including:

Monitoring a user's online activity for tone and content.

Combing through a user's online history, such as search queries, emails and instant messages, to check tone.

Examining a user's facial expressions, speech patterns, gestures and body movements, captured by image or audio devices.

The system would then store the user's emotional state - positive, happy, confused, neutral, negative, angry or sad - in what the patent calls "an emotional state database."

Well I highly doubt it would be included. A headset adapter included, but a headset not? Unlikely. If it excluded, you might as well just buy the new headset. I'll be getting a turtle beach if I end up getting a Xbox One anyway.

Hi MS fans, we are pleased to announce the Xbox One which will cost you $100 more than our competition but there's good news. We will not be including a headset and not supporting your existing headsets unless you give us more money for an adapter.

Bless our greedy little hearts.

Your Pal,

MICROSOFT

That's nice. I already have a pretty expensive headset, and I didn't want to get another.

As it stands the headset is crap. So, are they forcing us to mount another piece of junk to this?

@ALCHEMISTx24x7 @Dasim64 did someone glue your caps key?

What about my $60 wireless mic?

More MS damage control. I almost feel like we broke MS's spirit by forcing them to drop all the big brother crap with the X1. Seems every time a bit of news comes out, they have to stammer out some kind of excuse, apology, or consolation about it a few days later.

@ALCHEMISTx24x7 @Dasim64

No real need to shout, is there?

@ALCHEMISTx24x7 @Dasim64 Actually any headset that works for the ps3 will work for the PS4, nothings changed. However you will need to buy an adapter to use your old 360 headsets with the One. I don't recall anyone asking them to change form factors, or to release a most likely shoddy adapter. So how is it Microsoft is listening to their fans?

Just more crap to charge people for. You can't tell me they didn't plan this from the start. Microsoft loves to charge you for all the little crap. $20 here, $20 there. Next thing you know they've juked another $100 out of everyone.

Sure that's great, but what about degradation of signal for high end headsets? If someone paid $200-300 on a high end 7.1 headset will the adapter negate the quality you paid for? Changing form factor is nothing but a cash grab. I know that it's supposed to be digital mic support, but what does that matter when over half the community will be screaming at their Kinect? I for one end up muting people all the time, but now every person buying a Xbox One will have a mic picking up their kids, loud tv's, crappy music, and whatever else is going on in the room. We all know these situations, and it's pretty annoying to have a guy drop into a match online with one of these things going on, and you have to stop, and mute some inconsiderate jerks noise. I just see this getting worse now. Yeah I know noise cancelling, directional, all that sounds great, but it never works as great as they say it will.
