Microsoft confirms no voice-chat between Xbox One and 360
Is there cross-console Party Chat? i.e. since it’s all ‘Xbox Live’, can people on Xbox 360s Party Chat with their friends on Xbox One?
For a variety of technical reasons, including the sound quality that I talk about below – we don’t support voice chat between the two systems. You will still be able to send and receive text messages to friends on both systems, however.”
The “sound quality” aspect that Whitten mentions refers to the improvements that Microsoft has made in improving audio chat on the Xbox One. Whereas the Xbox 360 headset worked with 16kHz downstream / 8kHz upstream at 14-bit compressed, the Xbox One’s headset (which will be included in the box with the console) streams 24kHz audio at 16-bit resolution uncompressed, both upstream and downstream.
Incidentally, as TechRadar mentions, Sony won't have any problems with cross-console chat between the PlayStation 4 and its PS3 predecessor. According to the big cheese at Sony UK, Fergal Gara, when asked about chat between the two consoles, he simply replied: "It's there."

I really don't understand what the sound quality has to do with this. I mean they should allow it to happen with the lower quality if you are on the 360. It seems like a simple software adjustment to make this happen.

It is a shame that Xbox gamers will not be able to communicate via voice chat between the two consoles as it means friends who upgrade at different times won't be able to easily communicate. That being said, it is good that the audio quality is being upgraded on the Xbox One, hopefully this will be able to improve the quality of audio for those who use the Kinect sensor to talk.
