Xbox One controller charge kit and headset details

4.3
With the new console arriving in November, Microsoft have released details on the Play and charge kit, and also the new Microphone that has been established.

The Play and Charge kit includes a rechargeable battery pack, and a USB adapter that plugs into the Xbox One. This lets you charge the controller while playing your game, or when the console is in sleep/standby mode.

The Microphone contains pitch perfect wideband audio, and lets you mute or adjust the volume without having to take your hands off of your controller. There has been no confirmation about the microphone being included with the console yet. It was included with the 1st generation Xbox 360 back when it was released.

It will be cool if they made it a wireless mic that came with every console, that way having the controls on the controller would be great but if I have to have a wire to the controller anyways it doesn't matter to me.

Probably goes something like this :

Mute microphone


How dumb you would sound because the people in the lobby would be able to hear you say it.


There could be some sort of button on the controller that mutes the mic.


If not then this is a laughable mistake.

Of course it'll come with a headset, whaddya think this is, Sony? Lol. Pitch perfect eh? I'm sure a screaming 13yr old is gonna sound real nice now.

Disorts You can mute and adjust volume without taking your hands of the controller on ps3. That is a old feature, and on ps3 you can change the tune of your voice. microsoft is trying so hard =
But yet Microsoft has had party chat since 2005 and Sony is just introducing party chat to the playstation 4.... I'm planning on getting both consoles eventually but I've got to say Microsoft is far ahead in voice communication
