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.

Purity I'm just glad I don't have to buy a new mike!
It will certainly save us a little money, it's great to see that Microsoft has included this

_Bale I don't really like the size of the input but Its good that it doesn't effect the price.
It would of been pretty disappointing if the headset altered the price of the Xbox One, it can't be a bad thing that they have included it

oohPokemon-ShadowBoltDashieColourful Wow, why is the input for the mic so big?
Yeah I'm not liking that either, the controller looks bulky enough and this just adds to it ._.
Yea, it just looks awful.
Agreed, I have nothing but bad things to say about it.
Atleast they will have adapters :D

That is a huge mic input. I'd prefer the medallion or the one from the first version microphone.
