Microsoft's official Xbox One wired headset revealed
IGN's article states that Microsoft's headset will have a wideband voice codec that should improve voice chat, but no details were revealed. The image of the wired headset shows a mute button, along with + and - volume buttons, that have been placed on the controller input side. It's possible that Microsoft could release a higher end headset for the console at some point, perhaps one that uses a wireless connection.
So far, Microsoft has yet to reveal pricing for their own Xbox One headset, just like they have yet to announce pricing for a stand alone Xbox One controller. If you want a headset for the console that offers more features, there will likely be quite a few ready for the Xbox One's launch. Turtle Beach has already announced it will be making headsets specifically for the console, but no details or prices have been revealed.

MeirZzy turtle beach is already developing headphones for the xbox one :D
thank you i needed to know that man :) seriously i was scared i wasn't going to get to use my favorite headset brand, it would be even better if Xbox360 Turtle Beaches could transfer over to the Xbox one

Is the earpiece going to slide up and down? Otherwise that piece sticking out looks quite odd.

NikolaiLoverG935yo2434NikolaiLoverG935xSkullKing90x This is gonna effect 90% of the Xbox community if Turltes, Astros, ECT. cannot be used with this controller. we would all have to adapt until headsets compatible for the XBone controller are mad!
90%? Not that many xbox players buy Turtles, Astros, etc. I'd say like 40%, because I only personally know 3 people who own them. Backed up by a regular mic being only $20.
js, out of my group of friends only 1 doesn't use an aftermarket gaming headset. plus why would anyone buy this headphone for $20 when for a little more you can get a much better headphone?
I actually have a pair of turtle beaches, and they are a waste of money. It was a christmas present, but it's a waste. I would rather have a headset than this garbage "gaming" headset.
I own a pair of PX5 Turtle Beaches (wireless & Bluetooth) which are absolutely amazing and I own a wireless Bluetooth xbox mic and a wired mic, I only use my PX5's when I'm into serious gaming or if I wanna want to watch TV or a movie in peace, and I only use my wired mic when my wireless Bluetooth mic dies on me which is rare but I'm always prepared

Katsumi I like the fact that the buttons are close to the controller so you can change and mute the audio with ease. Will make things much easier
I agree with this, other than the fact how uncomfortable they look. I mean look how big the controls are on there...
