Xbox One modders make third-party Xbox 360 headset adapter
The folks over at Instructables – who also provide the above image – ran their magic all over the Xbox One to make it happen. All it requires it the official headset bundled with Microsoft’s console, the ability to solder and a few bits and bobs outlined through the link.
The whole process is detailed on their page, so check it out if you want to use your headsets with Xbox One. It was tested out using a paid of Astro A40s and is said to have worked just fine.
Meanwhile, Turtle Beach is offering free headset upgrades for those looking to use their Xbox 360 devices on Xbox One. You have until the end of January to sign up for a free, official adapter. It’ll be mailed to you in March, which is quite a bit away.

VictorZazuetaM I really can't understand why people do this just to use a different headset...When you pay $400 for a pair of headphones, you kind of want to use them...

I'm just going to wait until Microsoft supports third party headsets. The mic they gave us isn't too bad and I can go a few months without a gaming headset.

Erm, not sure if ripping your controller apart just so you can chat with Astros is a smart move. Even once it's installed, one wrong pull on the cable and you might end up with a broken controller.
