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.

-Tam looks so big and bold thumbs down man


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.

Thats a great thing especially for the people that payed $100 for a good gaming headset :p

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

ThisIs50 Forget that! I am getting all new stuff! I don't care how much money it costs!


Then you are a trooper. I don't want to spend extra money for the exact same thing when I can buy an adapter for it. Just me though, if someone wants to buy another pair of headsets, then fine that's their choice.

I feel like the whole "must use different headset and the xbox doesn't come with one" is a money scam. Microsoft is going to make a lot ofmoney out of people who need a mic.. also tge adapter is going to cost a nice amount as well.

It's likely the same with me. I will replace my turtle beach X11's with a more modern turtle beach made for the Xbox One. Preferably a wireless headset
