Exactly what I'm thinking.

The headsets work fine thank you. Digital optical port means sound will come out fine for headsets that use it.

The MICROPHONE won't work, but that's not a headset, it's a mic.

This is false if you have the x 31s or x41s by turtle beach or any wireless headset with the mixamp that you plug in using and optics cable and usb it will be compatible as you can see. i have the x41s and they have a usb coming from the mix amp into the xbox and also an optical cable in to the xbox

I was looking forward to next-gen but tbh after all this crappy news im really angry with Microsoft

Thanks for the heads up! I was going to buy a new headset, Now I will wait.

Damn Microsoft cant make anything backwards compatible

Does the X1 have output and input audio placements? I know that it will have USB. Duh.

The Warheads don't use the cable port on the controller, they use the digital audio port on the back of the console which is still there. Thank you wireless headset lol.

I agree. Someone who recently spent 400+ dollars on Turtle Beaches isn't going to be too pleased when they see this topic!

You're speaking to one -_- dem turtle beach tangos haha but they should make some adapter or something *fingers crossed*
