Microsoft's official Xbox One wired headset revealed
IGN's article states that Microsoft's headset will have a wideband voice codec that should improve voice chat, but no details were revealed. The image of the wired headset shows a mute button, along with + and - volume buttons, that have been placed on the controller input side. It's possible that Microsoft could release a higher end headset for the console at some point, perhaps one that uses a wireless connection.
So far, Microsoft has yet to reveal pricing for their own Xbox One headset, just like they have yet to announce pricing for a stand alone Xbox One controller. If you want a headset for the console that offers more features, there will likely be quite a few ready for the Xbox One's launch. Turtle Beach has already announced it will be making headsets specifically for the console, but no details or prices have been revealed.

NikolaiLoverG935xSkullKing90x This is gonna effect 90% of the Xbox community if Turltes, Astros, ECT. cannot be used with this controller. we would all have to adapt until headsets compatible for the XBone controller are mad!
90%? Not that many xbox players buy Turtles, Astros, etc. I'd say like 40%, because I only personally know 3 people who own them. Backed up by a regular mic being only $20.
js, out of my group of friends only 1 doesn't use an aftermarket gaming headset. plus why would anyone buy this headphone for $20 when for a little more you can get a much better headphone?

As cool as it looks, it's probably just as flimsy and cheap as the old one. I like how they made the mute and volume buttons easily accessible at your thumbs rather than the old one where you'd have to look down. But did they HAVE to make it so bulky? Also, as to all you guys asking about 360 headsets no longer being compatible, do you honestly think they aren't going to create an adapter for it? You'll likely find them a week down the road from some Hong Kong eBay shop for two dollars. Do not fret. Your overpriced gaming headsets are safe.

The new headset looks pretty cool in my eyes. I'm interested in what turtle beach has to offer. I'm still using my X11's from 2011
