Xbox One will not suport current-gen gaming headsets
The new port means that current headsets by leading accessory manufacturers, including Turtle Beach, will not work with Xbox One.
According to the source, the propriety data port means Microsoft can control the production of third party peripherals with licensing and authentication standards that manufacturers will be required to meet.
When questioned on the subject, a Microsoft spokesperson said the company will share fresh details on how third party peripherals will work in the future.
"We are working with 3rd party headset manufacturers to create new headsets that will take full advantage of the Xbox One technology," the rep said.
Xbox One will come bundled with a new iteration of its Kinect technology. The hardware features voice technology which will allow chat both in-game and via Skype.

TopNotchKiNG Everybody is ***** about backwards comparability when all you have to do is look at the Xbox 360 And Xbox One specs. The Xbox 360 had a standard DVDR drive and the Xbox One has a BluRay drive, therefore the games will never be compatible unless they are re-release in BluRay format.
I agree, Plus research shows, that only 5% of people will use old games on new technology from previous Consoles.

I realize that they say "headsets," but I haven't seen anything that would make me think my warheads won't work.

If they actually get partnerships with Turtle Beach and the other big headset companies, that would be a very smart move on Microsoft's part. I'm not saying I support it, but smart nevertheless.
