Xbox One controller charge kit and headset details

4.3
With the new console arriving in November, Microsoft have released details on the Play and charge kit, and also the new Microphone that has been established.

The Play and Charge kit includes a rechargeable battery pack, and a USB adapter that plugs into the Xbox One. This lets you charge the controller while playing your game, or when the console is in sleep/standby mode.

The Microphone contains pitch perfect wideband audio, and lets you mute or adjust the volume without having to take your hands off of your controller. There has been no confirmation about the microphone being included with the console yet. It was included with the 1st generation Xbox 360 back when it was released.

Disorts You can mute and adjust volume without taking your hands of the controller on ps3. That is a old feature, and on ps3 you can change the tune of your voice. microsoft is trying so hard =
But yet Microsoft has had party chat since 2005 and Sony is just introducing party chat to the playstation 4.... I'm planning on getting both consoles eventually but I've got to say Microsoft is far ahead in voice communication

microsoft has had party chat witch was a good idea but now ps4 has it you xbox fanboys have been holding party chat over sonys head now that you can't anymore you find something else to nit pick at, sony has the upper hand this gen but last it was microsoft. and when i posted my response i was talking to the people who were making a big deal out of a old feature.


Just like you sony fanboys holding the fee to play online against the xbox?


we now have a fee and we barely mention that xbox one fans boys still trying to find something to defend themselves


This is funny, he's saying xbox fanboys when he's obviously a playstation fanboy. This next gen stuff really has people d*ck riding consoles pretty hard. It's sad when nobody knows who has a better console yet. People are judging to quickly, the consoles aren't even out yet. For all we know microsoft could have planned this. Microsoft's console itself is good but they played it stupid with the restrictions they did on it which is the main reason why ps4 is outselling and is projected to be the better console. Oh well, that's Micro$oft for you. For now though, people like you need to stop d*ck riding, pay for a console and shut up about it.


Alright, this statement is a fact "Nobody gives a shit about how well the consoles will perform!" How I know this? Everybody would have PC if performance was the main thing!

I like the rechargeable battery pack idea Microsoft. But the headset seems trash.

xSTaTiCBLuEx wow...so they finally caught up with the PS3 and the great charging kit they had with that. A little behind the times Microsoft...


Look at the Sony fanboy in his natural habitat. Who know's nothing about any other consoles. Ok seriously you have never seen a controller charger kit for other consoles... I'm pretty sure even the Wii has them. Or did you just want to post that to hate on MS?


yea but with ps you didn't have to pay 20$ to charge you controller it came with a usb cord and you can already adjust your microphone without taking your hands off the controller, ps has better mic features but microsoft does have party chat which is a big deal.
