Xbox One adapter for Xbox 360 headsets inbound
The news comes via the Xbox Support Twitter account, responding to a question about whether existing headsets will work with the new console.
“We are working to develop an adapter for current wired headsets to connect. More details as we approach launch,” a representative said.
The Xbox One will not come bundled with a headset, because the Kinect, which is included in every package and required for the console to function, will perform basic voice chat duties. There is an official headset, though.
Both Mad Catz and Turtle Beach have said they’ll be developing peripherals for the new console as well.

slapshot101 I hope this adapter will work for all headsets even the upper end ones, so all those people that bought them don't have to get brand new ones,especially since some people have spent hundreds of dollars on a good set of headphones.
I think you will have to buy new headsets, since they're greedy.

Well great, I can't wait to get into matches with little kids with kinect mics now! As if it wasn't bad enough already
Just like the good ole Black Ops 1 days. For some reason it seems like everyone had them.

"Buy our new Xbox One headset adapter! Use your current headset with our f*cked up priced UK console for only 60 pounds!"
It'll cost like 10 pounds/15 dollars.. Why come here if your just a sony fanboy?
Maybe thats why they're more then.. You cant complain xD
I'm not a Sony fanboy. Where did you see anywhere in my comment anything about Sony? I didn't buy the PS3, I'm not buying the PS4. Microsoft & Sony have messed up the exchange rate for the UK, I'm not sure about other countries but $499 does not mean 429 pounds.
It doesn't really matter.. people are willing to pay it.. You could just buy it from the US. Stop complaining :P
Shipping etc. would probably result in it costing the same.
