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

Heir Meanwhile, Sony just gives an update and boom. You can use your USB powered headsets.

Eh I'm not buying that i'm just investing in the Turtle beach x oh 7's so I don't really care. But I don't like how they delayed the headset release from Feb 14 to March 1st.

Thats how they get you, but that seems a little over priced. As long as i can finally use my Astros for game chat i'll be happy.
