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.

You are all very ignorant, this is next to impossible to do if the one has USB ports, most modern TVs support audio out, and that's how I connect my beaches, I see no problems using my beaches on the one.(unless it doesn't have USB) although my TV also has a port for USB.

-Phoenix-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 know you're quoting this from somewhere but what are these statistics from anyway, think about it, sure not many people when they got the 360 played the original xbox, because the original xbox was shit compared to it, the 360 to Xbox one is a mild update and I'm sure people will still be playing the xbox for a long time after release of the One.
