Microsoft further clarifies Xbox One headset incompatibility
"The Wireless Controller has been redesigned to allow for higher data transfer speed between the controller and the console," Microsoft told Game Informer in a statement. "This also required creating a new expansion port design for headsets and future controller add-on devices which is different from a standard audio plug input."
Microsoft goes on to say that it "plans to develop solutions in the near future to allow consumers to connect many brands of wired gaming headsets to the Wireless Controller for gaming and chat audio," though it does not say what form those solutions may take.

slapshot101ShadowBoltDashie Ehhh so I'm going to guess my Astros aren't going to work :/You can just purchase the adapter when it finally comes out for like (hopefully) $30 and then you won't have to buy a whole new pair of headphones.
Yeah I have Astro A50's so I wouldn't want to buy them again so even if the adapter is like $80 I will still get it.

ThisIs50 I am willing to buy whatever I have to from Microsoft to get the best out of my gaming with the X-Box One.
That's the problem most people don't have that kind of money

I would like to know how much the adapter is going to cost. I think it will be right around $20. I hope they do make one and release it right around the release date of the Xbox One, not months after.

Hopefully there will be an adapter or people who spend $100+ on their headsets are going to be pretty mad.
