The official Xbox forums and other gaming hubs have been littered with complaints regarding the adapter, the bulk of these issues involve older Turtle Beach and Astro headsets. The various user reports declare that both in-game audio and Skype call work just fine, yet distortion is experience in party chat.

We've heard about a small number of users experiencing intermittent issues. We're actively investigating and are working on a resolution.Microsoft


The Xbox One headset adapter was released this month in order to facilitate Xbox One gamers to utilize their Xbox 360 headsets with their new Xbox console. The device can be purchased from most major retailers for $24.99.

YhCHKN I don't see why they couldn't just have the same mic input as the 360 controller.
Just to make more money? Pathetic.


Exactly. The 360 one was perfect.

It seems like they just over complicate a lot of things when it comes to the next gen.


While trying to make them seem more advanced they break them and make them more flawed.


You do not understand at all. The whole change was done to increase the chat quality, which could not have happened if the same old design had been kept. If you get a new console, it is basically expected to have to purchase a new headset for it, not to use an obsolete one.


The whole reason the reason they changed it is because they saw an opportunity to make more money off the thousands of people who have last gen headsets


I'm sorry i didn't know they started a business and made products to not make money


They are selling consoles at half a grand of course they have already made money, they did not need to do this they are just money Wh0res


Again, you have no idea what you are saying. The consoles are $500 at retail stores, but that is nowhere near what Microsoft is elling them to retail stores for. Also, Microsoft is barely making any profit, only $20 or so per console. If you complain about a BUSINESS MAKING MONEY, you should not be purchasing anything at all.


I swear you're the only other person on the site that gets it. Microsoft is one of the largest companies in the world, of course they're going to make as much money as they can.


If a business didn't make money then that business would cease to be a business very fast.

I still need to purchase an adapter for my Xbox One so I can use my Astro A40's.

Hopefully the will address all the issues by the time I purchase mine.

They really should of fixed all of these problems before release, they've not only done it with this but with the console as well.

They should of anticipated this for the initial release of the X1. The should of bought the adapter out at the same time, that way they can still make money and not make people wait a couple of months.

Hopefully they can fix it with a small hotfix instead of having a giant title update.
