Microsoft will charge you $24.99 to use your own headset with Xbox One
The adapter has its own volume controls and will allow users to adjust the levels of both chat and game audio, but the adapter does not allow for output of game audio to any headsets themselves--your favourite Astro/Turtle Beach/Tritton/etc headset will still need to be plugged into the Xbox One, TV, or receiver to get game audio. Both 3.5mm and 2.5mm jacks are supported.
The headset adapter will be available to purchase worldwide in March...
"Plug your compatible headset into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to chat with your fellow players, and enjoy the convenient volume controls right on the adapter," said Microsoft spokesperson Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb on his blog.
Additionally, Microsoft will also release its own stereo headset in March that comes with an adapter included. This will retail for $79.99/£59.99

KexxGypsi When people are buying 250 headsets I'm sure the extra 20 is nothing to them
But you shouldn't need to pay an extra 20.
Microsoft is just being greedy, no wonder PS4 won.
good to know you can tell the future dip shit

Of course they cannot just have some big gamestop party where everyone get a new headset adapter... But they should start putting them in the xbox one boxes for when people buy them. :D
