Xbox One adapter for Xbox 360 headsets inbound

4.6
Microsoft is working on an adapter allowing you to use Xbox 360 wired headsets with the Xbox One.

The news comes via the Xbox Support Twitter account, responding to a question about whether existing headsets will work with the new console.

“We are working to develop an adapter for current wired headsets to connect. More details as we approach launch,” a representative said.

The Xbox One will not come bundled with a headset, because the Kinect, which is included in every package and required for the console to function, will perform basic voice chat duties. There is an official headset, though.

Both Mad Catz and Turtle Beach have said they’ll be developing peripherals for the new console as well.

I'm pretty sure Astros are a MadCatz brand headset.


No, Astro is owned by SkullCandy.

Anyway, I'm glad that I will be able to use my $250 A40s on the new Xbox. I would have been more than a little upset if my headset was basically useless.

Not that this really matters, considering that a lot of the original headsets are only worth around $15, but it's nice to see them considering some selfless moves for once.

Well great, I can't wait to get into matches with little kids with kinect mics now! As if it wasn't bad enough already


So much truth. Then again, you have to remember that little kids are not meant to be playing games such as call of duty.


they still do, there are more people below 18 who play the +18 its stupid the majority of them are 13-15
