Xbox One adapter for Xbox 360 headsets inbound

4.6
Microsoft is working on an adapter allowing you to use Xbox 360 wired headsets with the Xbox One.

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.

It's actually not that big. Pretty sure it's the same size like the one from the 360


The PS4 controller is bigger I saw the pictures, its pretty much the same size as the 360.


For some reason it does look a lot more bulky than the 360 controller though, but I've heard they're nearly exactly the same.

lel Well that's good for the people who have turtle beaches and stuff so they don't have to buy another headset


Exactly the reasoning behind it. :)


it does save a lot of money...


it saves tons.


It will save a lot of money, but guaranteed the price for the adapter will be horrendously overpriced!

Cokes Why do we need an adapter??


It's basically just another money making point I think, so that if we want to use our old headsets, we have to give them more money for an adapter!

Couldn't they just wire the new headsets to the new controller in the same way old headsets wired to the old controllers?

Now they need to make one for the people with Trittons and Astros. Those headsets can cost a good amount and I'm sure those people don't want to have to buy another headset.
