Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter due 'early March'

4.4
Microsoft is releasing the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter worldwide in early March, bringing support to third-party headsets including compatible Xbox 360 ones. The $25 adapter plugs into the controller, and connects to headsets to enable chat audio. Game audio is added in by connecting the headset to the Xbox One with an optical cable, or to the TV via RCA cables. The adapter itself features volume controls to adjust chat levels and the option to mute the headset's microphone.

Arriving alongside the adapter is Microsoft's own $80 Stereo Headset, which promises "a premium audio experience for both game and chat audio." It offers full range audio, a unidirectional microphone, and over-the-ear speakers, and ships with the adapter included.

There's no news in today's announcement on Dolby Digital support, which isn't universally available for Xbox One headsets. Last we heard, support was coming via a future update.

$25 just for an adapter when you could just make your own in 10 minutes.

MissPosted:

Not a bad deal for $80 for the whole thing considering the PS3 headset is $100. They seem like the same thing.

DollPosted:

That's nice that they're finally having this but I've already seen this on Wicked Controllers.

ValorPosted:

Sweet, I was hoping to get headseats like the ones on the 360.

DJMarkyMarkPosted:

I'm still debating whether to buy a completely new headset or just get an adapter and use my Turtle Beach DX12's. I really want a headset that I can use for the 360 and the Xbox One.

MaggardoPosted:

Well this is good to see, I hope it means we can use our headsets that worked on the Xbox 360.
