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.

This would be nice to have. Many have bought new Astros and were worried about this.

Yea, that is true! If it doesn't cost that much, then I will just get it for my x31, as of now, they only cost $60 new for the 360, so I wont get it if it is $40.

Pwn This is great news!

I have A50's, fingers crossed I can use them D:


Same and I don't want to go out and buy another pair. Hopefully Astro is making an adapter for their headsets as well.

I expect this to be somewhere within the $20-$40 range considering they are quite greedy.

Zeff Does this mean i actually get to use my headset on the Xbox One? I was getting worried about the whole "Our headsets or no ones headsets" thing...


Once the adapter is made then yes it will work. I don't think wireless headsets from the Xbox 360 will work however.

Yes, this is really good news

Hopefully :) that way i could just keep the headset i have now, but something else is that it might have a downfall because it would have to be a big plug like the XboxOne headset plugin + the plugin size of the Xbox 360 headset (the one i use has a big plug in)
