Xbox One will accept current-gen hi-end gaming headsets
The confirmation comes via Microsoft lead planner for Xbox One Albert Penello, who responded to queries via Twitter.
Asked whether an adapter will be available for "current gen hi-end gaming headsets to work on the Xbox One," Penello answered in the affirmatiive.
"Yes. We will have an adapter that allows current gaming headsets to work."
Penello also confirmed the adapter will not be bundled with the console, but will be an accessory sold separately.
Reports from May suggested that Xbox One's proprietary data port would not be compatible with current-gen headsets.
At the time, a Microsoft spokesperson said the company would share details on how third party peripherals will work in the future.
"We are working with 3rd party headset manufacturers to create new headsets that will take full advantage of the Xbox One technology," the rep said.
Penello also confirmed overnight that Microsoft is "looking into" bundling headsets with the Xbox One.

That's actually very good, something where Microsoft aren't after their customers spending all their money, I hope my Turtlebeaches will work on the Xbox One :D

I personal think this is a good thing but I know they are going to price this very unreasonably and I don't think that it will be available for a time after the console comes out so until then you are going to have to use the Kinect.

Well this is good. I don't want my Turtle Beack Px21's to go to waste, which I spent $100 on (they were that price at the time, they are now $89). But I kind of feel like they are going to make the adapter slightly more expensive than it needs to be, but at least it will cost less money than buying a whole new expensive mic.

_Bale Another improvement :) The XBOX one headset looks terrible anyway.
I agree it doesn't look the best. Hopefully it performs well though.
