Microsoft will absorb cost to add headset to Xbox One; no price change
While Microsoft made no announcements today about a change in price for the Xbox One, we wanted to make sure so we contacted Xbox One's director of product planning Albert Penello via Twitter to find out if adding the headset would also increase the price of the console or if it will add to Microsoft's own manufacturing costs.
As you can see in the response Penello gave neowin, Microsoft will absorb the price of adding the headset and the $499.99 price tag for the Xbox One remains intact:
@JCalNeowin We're paying for that one. No change to the price.

Dini A headset added would be nice, but it's just something that i wouldn't use honestly
You kidding?? How would you not use it unless you have no friends to talk to. Even then, you can talk to people in the pre game lobbies.

I don't understand why they did not make it $19.99 like the current headset is, does it really cost $5 more to make then the current console. I feel like that bottom control section when not in the controller will break really easy.

UtilitiesSuckMortar It is a shame that the headset is just a re-designed version of the flimsy Xbox 360 headset that came with the console. I would have preferred it to be a wireless earpiece. Enough of my moaning aside, it is great that they added the headset to the consoles for no extra charge.
I would of like a wireless mic, the wired ones always break so easy
The wireless always has static though.
Static? Never heard of it having static and i've had mine for 3 years!
