Xbox One modders make third-party Xbox 360 headset adapter

4.5
Xbox One doesn’t support third-party Xbox 360 headsets at present, but as expected, the modding scene has shown that it can be done with a little technical know-how.

The folks over at Instructables – who also provide the above image – ran their magic all over the Xbox One to make it happen. All it requires it the official headset bundled with Microsoft’s console, the ability to solder and a few bits and bobs outlined through the link.

The whole process is detailed on their page, so check it out if you want to use your headsets with Xbox One. It was tested out using a paid of Astro A40s and is said to have worked just fine.

Meanwhile, Turtle Beach is offering free headset upgrades for those looking to use their Xbox 360 devices on Xbox One. You have until the end of January to sign up for a free, official adapter. It’ll be mailed to you in March, which is quite a bit away.

Why didnt MS do this in the beginning its a $500 console and they cant put a adapter in it. They should have known someone would make one for them....

VPNPosted:

I'm going to order the adapters right now!!

TFJPosted:

So you need to buy a all new headset just to get the adaptor... stupid

AlmightyHelixPosted:

That is actually really cool. I would buy one.

I find it stupid how microsoft didn't just provide an adapter at launch in the bundle.

Evo8Posted:

They need to release this now. One of the most important features in gaming and they don't release it at launch :(

FrogPosted:

Can any version of Turtlebeaches do this? I'd actually like to upgrade my headset in preparation for getting an Xbox one sometime in the future.

Snag I didn't know about how turtle beach was doing the free upgrade. I'm willing to wait considering its free!


Me too but I check it out and you still need the receipt
